## City of Richmond context

Richmond is an independent city, so every part of a sale runs through city offices: there is no county layer underneath. Virginia is a non-judicial foreclosure state: the trustee advertises the sale in a local newspaper, and the process can move in weeks once the ads start. Estate matters run through the Richmond Circuit Court Clerk, who qualifies executors and administrators and records every deed and lien in the land records. The city's historic districts, Church Hill, Jackson Ward, The Fan, add old-house constraints to many files, and city-recorded taxes and nuisance liens follow the property, not the person. InTym Properties pulls the land records on every house before we write the offer.

The cost side is local too. Virginia charges a grantor tax of $0.50 per $500 of the sale price, paid by the seller when the deed records with the circuit court clerk, and the buyer separately pays state and local recordation taxes. Closings run through licensed Virginia settlement agents, and the seller's other costs are typically recording fees and prorated city real estate taxes. The city page below carries its own median price, days on market, and trend so you can see where your block sits.

The land records double as a legitimacy check for any company that offers to buy your house. The entity name on its contract should exist on the Virginia State Corporation Commission clerk's information system, deeds and liens it records appear in the Richmond Circuit Court Clerk's land records, and a licensed Virginia settlement agent can confirm whether it actually closes files. The clause to look for in any offer is 'and/or assigns': it means the signer plans to sell your contract to someone else rather than buy your house.

### Which parts of Richmond do you buy in?

All of it: Church Hill, Jackson Ward, The Fan, Manchester, Highland Park, Forest Hill, and everything in between. If your neighborhood is not listed, email hello@intymproperties.com or call/text (650) 540-1854.

### How does foreclosure work in Richmond?

Virginia foreclosure is non-judicial through a trustee sale under the deed of trust: the trustee advertises the sale in a local newspaper and the process can move in weeks once the ads start. You can sell any time before the auction, and the proceeds pay off the lender and stop the sale.

### What does it cost to sell a house in Richmond?

Virginia charges a grantor tax of $0.50 per $500 of the sale price, paid by the seller at recording, plus recording and prorated-tax costs. The buyer pays separate recordation taxes. Your written offer shows every cost line by line, including which of those InTym Properties covers, before you sign.

### My property is in an estate. Can I still get an offer?

Yes. In Virginia the circuit court clerk qualifies the executor or administrator, and InTym Properties makes a written offer now and closes once the Richmond Circuit Court Clerk qualifies the fiduciary to sign.

### How fast can you close in Richmond?

As soon as 7 days if title is clear, longer if you need it. Estate files and city tax liens are routine here; the InTym Properties version is one walkthrough, one written offer, one date you pick.
