Local situations
What Portsmouth sellers call us about
Older homes that need work
Cradock and Truxtun were built in 1918 to house Norfolk Naval Shipyard workers, and Park View and Port Norfolk date from the same era. Old wiring, plumbing, roofs and foundations are common, and we price that work in so you don’t have to do it.
See how it works →Rentals and tired landlords
A lot of Portsmouth houses are rentals. If you’re done being a landlord, we buy with tenants in place, so you don’t have to wait for a lease to end or turn the unit over first.
See how it works →Flooding and water damage
Streets near the river and its branches see tidal flooding, and some houses carry old water damage or sit in a flood zone. We buy them as they are and factor it into the offer.
Inherited houses
If a family member’s will goes through the Portsmouth Circuit Court, we can buy the house as-is once the executor can sell, with nothing to clean out first.

Portsmouth questions
Selling a House in Portsmouth: FAQs
Do you buy houses in every part of Portsmouth?
Yes. We buy in Olde Towne, Park View, Port Norfolk, Cradock and Truxtun, and out in Churchland, Westhaven, Hodges Manor and Simonsdale.
My house is in a historic district. Can I still sell it as-is?
Yes. In the city’s historic districts, exterior work like new windows, siding or a roof goes through a design review first, which can slow repairs down. We buy the house as it is, and that review becomes our job, not yours.
Will you buy a house that has flooded?
Yes. We buy houses with past flood or water damage and houses in flood zones, and we factor the condition into the offer instead of asking you to fix it.
Can I sell a rental house with tenants still living in it?
Yes. We buy rentals with tenants in place. The lease carries over to us, and you don’t have to ask anyone to move out before closing.
Can I sell an inherited house before probate is finished?
Usually the executor or administrator named by the court is the one who can sell. Once they’re in place, we can buy the house as-is. Your attorney can tell you where your estate stands.
How fast can you close?
In as little as 7 days when the title is clear, or on a later date you choose.

Hampton Roads sellers on working with 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.
If you are struggling with how to quickly get rid of an inherited property, Jack at O’ Neill Home Property is your guy. My father passed away and I inherited his property that was not very well maintained and needed a lot of work. I live out of state and really needed help figuring out how to handle my situation and quickly because I didn’t want to get stuck with paying property taxes, etc. Jack bought the house quickly and made the situation pleasant.
I worked with Jack and his team at O’Neill Home Buyers. The process of selling a house is very stressful for us as it isn’t something we have done before. Jack was able to paint a clear picture of how the process would go, we felt we got more than a fair number for the house since it needed a good amount of work and they actually stuck to the timeline they agreed too. Highly recommend them if you need help with a property.
