Bailey’s Crossroads homes I buy
The crossroads takes its name from Hachaliah Bailey, who bought land at the Leesburg Pike and Columbia Pike intersection in 1837 and used it as winter quarters for his circus (overview). Today it is one of the most built-up corners of Fairfax County, with more condos than almost anywhere outside Tysons.
| Home type | Where | What I usually see |
|---|---|---|
| High-rise and mid-rise condos | Around Skyline Center, Seminary Road and Leesburg Pike | Rising fees, special assessments for building systems, original kitchens and baths |
| Garden condos | Off Columbia Pike and Route 7 | Rentals with tenants, investor-owned units, dated finishes |
| Townhouses | Clusters between the two pikes | HOA resale items, roofs and HVAC near replacement |
| Single-family homes | 1940s to 1960s Capes, ramblers and splits on side streets toward Lake Barcroft and Lincolnia | Original systems, estates, long-time owners |
Bailey’s Crossroads details that affect a cash sale
Condos that are hard to finance
Some older condo buildings fail lender approval rules because of reserves, litigation, investor ownership or pending repairs. That leaves a seller with mostly cash buyers anyway. I pay cash and do not need the building approved, and the resale certificate’s fees and assessments are built into my offer.
Special assessments
Large buildings face big-ticket work: facades, elevators, garages, windows and plumbing risers. If an assessment has been voted or proposed, tell me. You do not have to pay it off before closing; it is handled in the price and on the settlement statement.
Which government?
Bailey’s Crossroads addresses often say Falls Church or Alexandria, but the area is in Fairfax County, not either independent city. That decides your tax bill and probate court. Check with my Falls Church city vs. county guide or Alexandria city vs. Fairfax County guide.
Tenants
Many units here are rented. I can buy with the tenant in place or after the lease ends; deposits and prorated rent are handled at settlement.
What you skip when I buy your Bailey’s Crossroads house
No repairs
Roof leaks, old HVAC, water damage, a kitchen from 1975. I buy the house as it stands today and never send you a repair list.
No showings
One walkthrough, in person or by video. No open houses, no lockbox traffic, no keeping the house spotless for strangers.
No cleanout
Take the things you want and leave the rest: furniture, the garage, the attic. I handle the cleanout after closing.
No commission
You pay no commission when you sell to me. The settlement statement shows every line before you sign.
No inspection contingency
I see the house once and make a written offer. It is not renegotiated over items a home inspector would find.
No closing costs
I pay your closing costs. Your mortgage and any liens are paid off from the sale proceeds at settlement.
How it works
Three steps, no pressure and no obligation. You decide on the offer and the closing date.
Tell me about the house
Use the form, call 703-596-5065 or text 910-382-0029. Address and phone are enough to start. I text back within 15 minutes, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
One walkthrough, written offer in 24 hours
One visit, in person or by video. Nothing needs to be cleaned or fixed first. Your written cash offer arrives within 24 hours, with the nearby sales I used.
Close in 7 days or on your date
Settle at a licensed title company or settlement attorney in as little as 7 days, or on the date you choose. Proceeds are wired to you at closing.

Selling a house in Bailey’s Crossroads: questions
Can you buy my Bailey’s Crossroads condo if lenders won’t approve the building?
Yes. I pay cash, so building approval rules do not apply. The resale certificate is ordered the day we sign and its fees and assessments are built into my offer.
There’s a special assessment coming for my building. Do I have to pay it before selling?
No. Tell me what has been voted or proposed. It is accounted for in the price and on the settlement statement, so you do not pay it out of pocket first.
My address says Falls Church. Is my home in the City of Falls Church?
Probably not. Most Bailey’s Crossroads addresses with Falls Church or Alexandria mail are in Fairfax County. Your tax bill shows which government you are in.
Do you buy condos with tenants?
Yes. Share the lease on the first call. I can close with the tenant in place or after the lease ends.
Do you buy the older single-family homes near Lake Barcroft and Lincolnia?
Yes. Original 1940s to 1960s houses with dated systems are a normal part of what I buy.
Will the offer change after I accept?
Not unless something material and undisclosed turns up, such as an unknown lien, a title problem or hidden structural damage. My offer is made after I have seen the house, so the things you would expect a buyer to find are already priced in. If anything changes, I explain it in writing with the reason, and you are free to walk away.
What does it cost me to sell to you?
No commission and no closing costs; I pay those. What comes out of the proceeds is what you already owe on the house: your mortgage payoff, any liens, and prorated property taxes or HOA dues. The settlement statement lists every line before you sign.
How fast can we close, and can I choose a later date?
I can close in as little as 7 days when title is clear, or on any later date you choose. Estates, liens and HOA resale packets can add time, and you will know about any delay before you sign anything.
Should I have my own realtor or attorney look at your offer?
I recommend it. Because I am the buyer, I cannot advise you on whether to accept. Your own realtor or attorney can review the contract and the numbers at your cost, and I am glad to answer their questions.
