We buy houses in York County, VA
Sell your house fast in York County, VA, for cash and as-is.
York County sits on the Virginia Peninsula, between the York River and the James, and a lot of its houses have history behind them. We buy them for cash, as-is, from Yorktown and Tabb to Grafton, Seaford and Dare.
Maybe it's a rental you're tired of managing, a house you inherited, or a home with an old roof and a damp crawl space you can't afford to fix. Send us the address and you'll have a cash number within 24 hours. You don't repair or clean anything, and you don't pay an agent.

York County housing by the numbers
- 71,005
- Residents
- $433,200
- Median home value
- 1992
- Typical home built
- 71.6%
- Owner-occupied homes
About 72 percent of York County homeowners live in the house they own, so most people who call us are selling their own home, not a rental. The typical house went up around 1992. Roofs, HVAC systems and water heaters are coming due on a lot of them. Those repairs slow a regular sale. They don't change whether we buy.

The kinds of York County houses we buy
A lot of York County is subdivision homes from the 1980s and 1990s in places like Tabb, Grafton and Kiln Creek, mostly two-story colonials and split-levels. Near Seaford and Dandridge you find older brick ranches, and out toward Lackey and Bruton there are some very old farmhouses. Being this close to the water, the problems repeat: damp crawl spaces, siding and decks that rot in the humidity, tired HVAC, and roofs that have been through a few hurricane seasons.
We buy all of it, and condition only changes the price, not whether we'll make an offer. That includes subdivision homes, ranches, townhouses, rentals, houses with water damage, and houses that have sat empty since the last tenant or owner left.
We buy York County houses in any condition
Leave the cleanup, the repairs and anything you don't want to us. We took these photos on real walkthroughs, and this is the condition we buy houses in.
The York County situations we buy in
Storm and water damage
Hurricanes and nor'easters hit the Peninsula hard. A wet crawl space, a soft subfloor, mold or a roof missing shingles scares off most buyers once an inspector writes it up. We price the repair into our offer and buy the house as it is. You don't file an insurance claim or hire a contractor.
Military moves
Naval Weapons Station Yorktown and the other bases nearby mean orders can arrive on short notice. If you got new orders and the house hasn't sold, or you've been renting it from a distance, we can close in 30 days or less, or on the date your move needs.
The rental you're done with
A tenant leaves, the house needs work before the next lease, or managing it from afar wears you down. We buy rentals vacant or with tenants in place, and we work out a plan for them with you.
Behind on the mortgage
Most Virginia foreclosures never go through a courtroom, and the sale can be held within weeks of the first newspaper ad. If you're behind, call early. Selling before the sale date pays off the lender at closing and stops the sale.
A house you inherited
If the house came to you from a parent or relative, you don't have to clean it out, fix it up or list it. We can make an offer now and close when the estate paperwork lets you sign.
An older home that needs everything
Some of the oldest houses in the county still have original wiring, galvanized pipes or a foundation that has shifted. A repair bill that size ends most conversations with regular buyers. We buy them anyway.
How selling for cash works in York County
Here is how a cash sale works in York County. You call or send the form, we look at the house and send a cash offer within 24 hours, and if you say yes, a local title company handles the closing. In Virginia, closings are handled by a settlement agent, and you pick the date.
If you're behind on your mortgage, timing matters more. Most Virginia foreclosures are trustee sales, so the lender doesn't have to go to court first. If you live in the home, the lender has to mail you written notice at least 60 days before the sale. The sale is advertised in a local newspaper, and it can happen no earlier than 8 days after the first ad and no more than 30 days after the last one. The trustee can hold it in front of the circuit court building, which in York County is at 300 Ballard Street in Yorktown.
Once a sale is on the calendar, you have a matter of weeks. If we buy the house before the sale, the lender is paid off at closing and the sale is cancelled. The earlier you reach out, the more room you have.
How it works
Three steps to a cash sale.
Tell us about the house
Call us or fill out the short form. Give us the address and tell us about the condition of the house and your situation. That is enough to start.
Get your cash offer
We review the house and send you a fair cash offer within 24 hours. You'll see how we got to the number, and you're under no obligation to take it.
Close on your date
You pick the closing date. Closing in 30 days or less is possible, and a later date is fine if you need more time. A title company handles the paperwork and you walk away with cash.

In September 2026, 163 houses were listed in York County, VA, up 2% compared with last year. Half were priced above $521,500 and half below, and the typical house had been listed for 42 days. About 1 in 4 sellers lowered the price they were asking that month.
Those 42 days measure time after the listing starts. Before that, repairs and cleanup can take weeks. Afterward, the buyer's lender may need about a month to finish closing. Listing may bring you the highest price if the house is updated and you have time to wait. A cash sale lets you skip that wait when the property needs repairs, is tenant occupied, or you need to sell sooner. Ask us for a cash price to compare with a listing.

Run the numbers on a York County sale
Expect a cash price below what you would ask when listing the house. A buyer who promises otherwise is preparing to lower the offer after you commit.
Start with what you would keep from the sale. In York County, the median home value is about $433,200. At that price, a six percent commission takes $25,992, with repair bills still to come. Count the repairs the buyer asks for after the inspection. Add months of mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance and utilities while you wait to sell. Then compare what is left with our cash price.
Listing can still leave you with more money. When it does, listing is the right choice. We want to tell you that upfront so you do not sell to us and later regret taking the house off the market.

What sellers say about working with Mal
"Malachi saved us from losing everything. We closed in 9 days and walked away with cash in hand. He was honest the whole way through — no pressure, no games."
"I was three months behind and didn't know what to do. Memorable Home Buyers explained everything clearly and made a fair offer the same day I called. Highly recommend."
"Malachi was a pleasure to work with. We inherited a home that we could not pay the repairs on. He gave us a fair price, and closed exactly when he said he would. Was a quick, easy and very convenient process."
"I had only 8 days left to stop my foreclosure. Malachi came in and showed me what options I had left, and once we agreed on me selling he purchased the home and was able to prevent that stuff on my record. I appreciate him for helping us."
"Me and my husband had a property we just didn't want to deal with anymore. It had leaks in the roof, needed a new water heater and a bunch of other stuff we didn't have the energy to fix anymore. Mal gave us a fair cash offer and made our downsizing process simple"

Our promise to you
Four things you can count on when you sell to us
Mal is your contact throughout the sale, from your first call through closing. We make these four promises for every house we buy.
The number holds
Your settlement statement will show the price we agreed to if the property is as you described it by phone. If we find a major issue during the walkthrough that you had not mentioned, we explain the difference to you before proceeding.
A contract you can read
We use plain English in our purchase agreement. Bring it home for your family to read. Before signing, ask us to explain any part you have questions about.
You pick the date
On our first call, let us know when you need to close. If that date will not work for us, we tell you during that call. You will know before making a commitment.
An honest answer, even when it costs us the sale
We tell you when selling through an agent would bring you more money. A cash sale does not suit everyone. We want you to hear that from us.
