Work The Numbers And See Which Way Helps You Get There…
When you analyze the numbers, the true advantages of each selling method for your VA home become clear. At Derrick Bradford Real Estate, we’re dedicated to helping you find the approach that best aligns with your goals. We can provide you with an immediate cash offer or leverage our expertise to list your house on the market for top dollar.
While selling to us for cash may not yield the full retail value of your home, we offer unique benefits that traditional sales often cannot match. For instance, you can sell your home as-is, avoiding costly repairs and renovations. Additionally, we provide a quick closing process, allowing you to access your funds faster than a conventional sale. There are no hidden fees or commissions, which means you keep more of your money. Plus, you’ll avoid the stress of showings and prolonged negotiations.
Our team is here to guide you through every step, ensuring that you make an informed decision that fits your needs. Whether you choose a cash sale or listing on the market, we are committed to helping you achieve the best possible outcome. Let’s explore the best option for your situation together!

From offer to close and cash in your hand in as little as 7 days.
You can get rid of the headache of that property fast and avoid paying any more utility payments, tax payments, insurance payments, or mortgage payments… you get the drill. If you list your house and wait 90+ days to close, you have to figure in all of the costs of holding that property during the time you have it listed and are waiting to close.

Don’t worry about fixing anything or cleaning your house again and again for buyer after buyer.
We don’t care how dirty your house is (we’ve seen worse!) or how many repairs are needed (a complete fixer? Great! We love projects). We want to make an offer on your house no matter what the condition. This saves you time and money that you can keep in your pocket.

Don’t worry about paying those pesky closing fees (we’ve got you covered).
Because we are a full-service professional home buyer in VA, we make it easy for you. We pay for all of the closing costs! What we offer you is what you get (of course minus any mortgage payoff or other encumbrances on the property). Pretty refreshing, eh?
So when you add up the time you could save by working with Derrick Bradford Real Estate, the no-hassle experience, and the money you’ll save on commissions, fees, and holding costs while you wait to sell the traditional route, for many Chesterfield area home owners selling to a professional house buyer is the best viable option. And if it’s not, we have you covered there as well!
