Wilson Offers vs. a Roanoke listing.
| Sell to us | List with an agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Time to cash | 7 days, or your chosen date | Roughly a month to a few. |
| Repairs | None. We expect the condition. | Buyers and inspectors will ask. |
| Commission | None. | 5 to 6% of the price. |
| Closing costs | We pay them. | Several percent from proceeds. |
| Certainty | Cash, no lender to spook. | Financing can fall through. |
| Showings | One visit, then done. | Strangers walking your home. |
On a Roanoke home near the $215,000 median, commission and closing costs strip $15,000 to $19,000 off a traditional sale, a big slice of your equity before any repairs. Sell to us and that line is $0.
Takes about a minute to start. No obligation, no games.

Roanoke neighborhoods we cover
Roanoke runs from Victorians in the historic district to 1920s streetcar cottages to four-squares near Mill Mountain. These are the parts of the city we know best, and what usually stops a sale in each one.
Old Southwest and the historic district
Old Southwest is Roanoke’s historic district in the truest sense: late Victorian foursquares and Craftsman bungalows from the 1880s through the 1920s, many on the National Register.
The architecture is exceptional. The wiring, plumbing and foundations underneath it are as old as the woodwork, and preservation rules can make updates expensive even when buyers want them.
Grandin Village, the old streetcar suburb
Grandin Village grew up as a streetcar suburb and has kept its character ever since: compact lots, front porches and a walkable feel that draws buyers.
But the bungalows and foursquares that sell the street on charm can hit a wall once an inspector starts pulling at the systems. We know the type and price for it.
Raleigh Court in the northwest
Raleigh Court holds its value above the citywide median, with 1920s and 1940s homes that have been better kept than most.
If your Raleigh Court home is updated and in strong shape, a traditional listing may beat our offer. We’ll tell you that plainly, before you decide anything.
Wasena, south of the river
Wasena sits south of the Roanoke River, with bungalows and small Craftsman homes that draw buyers for the walkability and river access.
The character is real. So are the aging mechanicals and old wiring that stop a financed buyer looking for a move-in home.
South Roanoke, up toward Mill Mountain
South Roanoke climbs toward Mill Mountain with brick and stone homes from the 1930s and 1950s, some of the city’s most substantial houses.
Estate sales and downsizing are the most common reasons sellers call us from here. The homes are well built, but they’re large, expensive to keep up, and not every heir wants the project.
Where else we buy in Roanoke
The neighborhoods above aren’t the limit. We buy anywhere inside the city line, in any condition.
Salem, just to the west, is an independent city with the same railroad-era housing and the same repair math. Downtown street or mid-century ranch further out, the process and terms are the same as inside Roanoke.
Not seeing your street? Call us. We cover the entire city and the surrounding valley. (804) 735-7979
Questions from Roanoke sellers.
With clean title, seven days is realistic. It’s cash, so there’s no loan underwriting in the way. Need longer to move, settle an estate or finish a job change? We set the date around you.
Most Roanoke sellers who need to move fast close in 7 to 14 days. If a Carilion start date, an estate or a job somewhere else sets your timeline, give us the date and we build the schedule around it.
No, it’s most of what we buy here. Century-old wiring, plaster and worn systems are exactly what we price into the offer. You repair nothing first.
Usually, yes. Job moves with a fixed start date are a common reason people here call us. Give us the date and we work back from it, so you’re not paying this mortgage after you’ve gone.
Yes. At Roanoke prices that’s common, and it’s exactly when a cash sale makes sense. We price the home as it is, so you don’t sink money into repairs you’ll never get back.
Often, yes. In most cases what’s owed gets paid from the sale proceeds at closing, not from your pocket. Call early and we’ll lay out your options before you commit to anything.
We’re the buyer. We fund with our own money and take title at closing. Proof of funds on request. We don’t pass your contract to anyone.
Nothing. No commission, no fees. We cover closing costs and title work. The number on the written offer is the number you keep.
No. Virginia closes through an attorney or title company, which we arrange and pay for. You’re welcome to hire your own for contract review. Most sellers don’t.
We look at recent sales of comparable homes in your part of Roanoke, estimate the repairs, and account for our costs. You see that breakdown with the offer.
A traditional listing does best in spring and early summer. For a cash sale, the season doesn’t matter. We buy at the same pace every month.
