Sell Your Simonsdale House for Cash in Portsmouth
Simonsdale sits off Airline Boulevard in western Portsmouth — post-war capes and small ranches built for shipyard families, on compact lots with alleys and mature trees.
Virginia Cash Real Estate buys Simonsdale houses in any condition, for cash, as-is — usually closing in 14–30 days. We're a family business that has bought more than 125 homes across Hampton Roads over the past 11 years, and we buy with our own funds.
Why Simonsdale homes can be hard to sell on the retail market
- 1940s-50s capes with original wiring, oil heat, and no insulation
- Buried heating-oil tanks that block financed closings
- Small footprints that limit what retail renovators will pay
- Heavy rental ownership and long-term tenant wear
What we buy in Simonsdale

How a Simonsdale cash sale works
- Tell us about the house — age, roof, systems, tenants, timeline. A few questions is all it takes.
- We comp the street and send a written cash offer within 24 hours — no assignment clauses, no bait-and-switch.
- You choose the closing date — as fast as 7 days, or 60+ days out if you need time to move.
- We close at a local Hampton Roads title company — no repair credits, no financing contingency, no fees on your side.
Simonsdale cash offer vs. listing with an agent
The retail number usually looks bigger on paper. After 6% commission, seller-paid closing costs, inspection-triggered repairs, and two to three months of mortgage, taxes, insurance, and utilities, the net often lands within a few percent of a cash offer you can have in hand this week. If the house has any of the issues above, cash typically wins outright.

Frequently asked questions about selling a house in Simonsdale
Do you charge fees or commissions? No. The offer we send is what hits your bank at closing.
Will you buy a Simonsdale house with tenants in it? Yes. We buy occupied rentals regularly — month-to-month, lease-holding, or Section 8. You don't need to give notice first.
How fast can you close? Seven days is realistic on clean title; 10–14 days is typical. If you need longer, we close on your date.
Do I need to clean out the house? No. Leave whatever you don't want. We handle cleanout, including full estates.
