What Hampton's Codes Compliance Process Looks Like

How Our Hampton Process Works

1. Reach out with the address and whatever backstory you have. We don't need much.
2. We do a drive-by within 24–48 hours and pull city records, deed, and title history.
3. You get a written cash offer — usually inside of 24 hours after the drive.
4. Pick a closing date. 7 days, 30 days, 60 days — your call.
5. Close at a local Peninsula title company. All liens and back taxes paid from proceeds. You leave with funds the same day.

No inspections you have to pass. No financing contingencies. No back-and-forth on repair credits. The number we offer is the number you net (less mortgage payoff, unpaid taxes, and city liens, all itemized on the settlement statement).
