Selling a house quickly due to a military deployment is like taking on an impossible mission — a lengthy and painstaking traditional process.
The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) manages roughly 27 million acres around the globe. That size is about the same as the entire state of Virginia. Speaking of Virginia, if you have just received notice that you will be among the active-duty men and women serving at home or abroad, selling your Richmond house might be on the horizon.
“Why should I? And how?” These questions matter. And CavaBuys is here with answers.
Military Deployment and Time
Deployments can last a few weeks, a year, or even longer. The Army, the Reserve, and the National Guard all rotate personnel based on operational needs, geopolitical events, and the specific missions at hand. In other words, orders can arrive unexpectedly and leave very little wiggle room.
Time is of the essence when selling a property. Once that deployment packet lands, logistics multiply quickly. You find yourself arranging travel, updating paperwork, securing Power of Attorney, and checking a dozen boxes before it is time to go. If your house still does not sell by then, you carry extra emotional and financial weight every day it lingers on the market.
Put simply, the faster you close, the sooner you can focus on your duty instead of mortgage payments.
Managing or Owning a Property While on Duty
“Why should I sell in the first place? Could I not rent the place out or return to it?” Good question. However, managing or owning a property from half a world away is a battle, especially when you have nobody to help you. Just imagine the following fronts:
- Maintenance Emergencies: A burst pipe at 2:00 AM in Richmond is 9:00 PM in Kuwait. Coordinating plumbers between patrols is not feasible.
- Tenant Turnover: Finding reliable tenants (and vetting their references) can be tricky, even if you are in a nearby state.
- HOA Violations and City Fines: Unmowed Grass or Peeling Paint? Inspections can rack up fees swiftly!
- Tax Headaches: Tracking property taxes, insurance renewals, and year-end documentation adds complexity every tax season.
- Emotional Load: Receiving bad news involving your house is never easy. You are never in the right place at the right time.
These issues are solvable if your actual job does not involve protecting millions of people. As such, lighten the load while you can.
How Long Does it Take to Sell?
Virginia real estate is competitive, so selling might not be impossible. Still, deployment forces you to look at the days. For instance, Norfolk homes sell after about 28 days on the market. In Richmond, they clock in at around 14 days. Regardless, you do not have the luxury of time.
The traditional route always takes longer. You start by finding an agent, then conduct pre-sale inspections that reveal required upgrades. After months of working with contractors, you stage the property, list it, and host open houses just to wait on buyer financing, which can collapse before closing.
What if orders are reported in two weeks? You are already in the red zone and enlisted for the woes we mentioned above. Fortunately, CavaBuys lets you skip many steps and move on your timeline.

Houses With Cracked Foundations
You can end up spending thousands to make a structure with a cracked foundation safe and livable again. Why not sell and allow us to handle the concrete?
Abandoned Properties
If it is not your first deployment and you have an abandoned property you have been trying to let go of many times before; we can finally take it off your hands.
