A real offer, not a lowball
Here’s how we price a house.
Every offer starts from the same simple formula.
- Estimated renovated value: what the house sells for once it’s fixed up, based on local sales.
- Repairs & renovation: what it costs to bring it to that condition.
- Buying, holding & resale costs: closing, taxes, insurance and selling it again.
- Our margin: what we earn for taking on the project.
Example only. Every house is priced on its own comps.
The walkthrough
What Happens When We Visit?
It’s a quick walkthrough. We look at the roof, the systems and the big repairs so the offer is accurate and doesn’t change later. Ask us anything while we’re there.
“We want to see the house exactly as it is.”

| Commissions | Usually 5–6% in agent commissions | No commissions |
| Showings | Showings and open houses | One walkthrough |

| Price | Can be higher on the open market | A fair cash price, no fees |
Real sellers, real reviews
What it’s like to sell to us
We needed to sell our house quickly and searched for we buy houses Norfolk VA companies. O’Neill Home Buyers stood out right away. They viewed our property, gave a no-obligation cash offer, and closed exactly when we needed. The entire process was seamless and stress-free. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell their house fast in Norfolk, VA.
