How the process works
Timeframe: Once we receive your property information, we quickly put together a fair cash offer based on your Fairfax County area home. If you accept, we can close in as little as seven days, or on a later date that works better for you. Our process is flexible and designed around your needs, not ours.
Step 1: Call Old Fashioned Home Buyers or Submit Your Info
Reach out and tell us about the house, your situation, and when you need to sell in or around Fairfax County.
Step 2: Get Your Fair Cash Offer
We review the details and give you a prompt, no-obligation cash offer—often during our first call or shortly after a quick walk-through.
Step 3: You Pick the Closing Date
You decide if the offer works for you and choose the day to close—whether you need to sell my house fast in Fairfax County or prefer more time.

Selling your Fairfax County home can be a quick & easy process
Old Fashioned Home Buyers buys houses in and around Fairfax County (and nearby Virginia and Maryland counties, too!) We’re not listing your house—we’re actually the ones buying your home for cash.
Because we pay cash and are buying your Fairfax County home directly from you, we’re able to close quickly (or on the exact date you choose).
Work with a Local Cash Home Buyer
No fees – No commissions
Unlike listing a house with a traditional agent, we charge no fees and no commissions when we buy your home.
You never have to worry about surprise costs coming out of your pocket just to sell your house fast for cash.
You don’t have to worry about getting your house “market-ready”—no showings, open houses, or last-minute cleanings.
We want to buy your house as-is—you can leave behind repairs, junk, and problem tenants.
No matter how ugly or pretty it is and no matter the location, we buy houses in Fairfax County in any condition, even if other buyers have passed.
From Fair Cash Offer to Close in as Little as 7 Days
You can get rid of the headache of your property fast and avoid paying one more utility payment, tax payment, insurance payment, mortgage payment, or any other holding costs on a house you no longer want.
If you list your house and wait 90+ days to close, you have to factor in every month of payments and stress while you hope a buyer doesn’t back out before closing.
We make it easy
Don’t worry about fixing anything or deep cleaning your house again and again for strangers walking through.
We don’t care how dirty your house is (we’ve seen worse) or how many repairs are needed. Foundation issues, leaks, or old finishes are all okay.
Is it a complete fixer? Great! We love projects and will handle the work after we buy.
Let us save you time, reduce your stress, and put more cash in your pocket at closing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does “as-is” mean when I sell my house fast?
We buy your Fairfax County home as-is, meaning you don’t have to do repairs, cleanouts, or updates to sell. No contractors, no handyman visits, and no showings. We handle inspections, repairs, and updates after we purchase your home. We factor that work into our offer, but it saves you the cash, time, and hassle of getting the house ready.
What does an “all-cash offer” mean?
“All-cash” means exactly that—all cash for your Fairfax County home. Because we are local real estate investors purchasing your house directly, we don’t rely on traditional bank financing like retail buyers. When you sell to us, there’s no worry about loans falling through or closing being pushed back. When we make you an offer, that’s the amount you’ll receive at closing, minus any existing mortgages or liens.
How fast is a fast closing?
After you send us information about your home, we can usually make you a no-obligation, fair all-cash offer in as little as 24 hours. Once you accept, we close at a local, reputable title company in as little as 7 days. Compared to the 30+ days it often takes to close when listing your house the traditional way, the difference can be huge when you need to move quickly.
What if I don’t need a fast closing?
At Old Fashioned Home Buyers, we work on your time frame. If you don’t need to sell my house fast and prefer a later closing to make plans, pack, or line up your next place, we’ll schedule the closing on the day that works best for you.
Will I get a lowball offer?
Our goal is to provide you with the fairest offer we can. Unlike some national buyers, we’re transparent about how we come up with our numbers. Our offer is based on what the property should be worth after we complete the needed repairs and updates, minus our costs and a reasonable profit. We’re happy to walk you through the numbers so you can see how we arrived at your offer.
Is this even legit?
Yes, it is. More and more homeowners in Fairfax County and across the DMV area are choosing a direct cash home buyer instead of listing. We offer a simple, transparent way to sell for cash when you’re dealing with foreclosure, inherited property, divorce, or a house that just needs too much work. We’ll listen to your situation, make a clear all-cash offer, and close on the timeline that works for you.
