Selling a house in Virginia: the rules that matter
Who runs the closing
Virginia closings are handled by settlement agents — either a title company or an attorney. Two-to-three-week cash closings are normal.
Seller taxes and fees
Virginia’s seller-side grantor tax is $0.50 per $500 of the price (0.1%), with small regional additions in Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads.
The foreclosure clock
Virginia is a non-judicial deed-of-trust state with a fast timeline — published notice can be as short as two weeks before the trustee sale. If a sale is advertised, the window to act is short.
