We buy houses in Richmond
I Buy Rhode Island Houses buys Richmond houses for cash and as-is, closing in as little as 7 days or on a date you choose.

Houses we see in Richmond
Richmond never had a single town center. Its villages grew up around mills on the Wood, Pawcatuck and Queen rivers, and I Buy Rhode Island Houses buys houses in every one of them, as-is.
- The town's plan says some Richmond homes still have cesspools or other older septic systems that are no longer permitted. We'll buy one without an upgrade.
- Most homes use private wells. The town water system, built in the early 1980s after gasoline contamination in Wyoming, serves about 10% of homes, between Wyoming and the elementary school.
- Shannock and Carolina are National Register mill villages, but with no historic district commission, the town doesn't review exterior changes to historic homes.

Selling a house in Richmond: common questions
The estate is in Richmond Probate Court. Can we sell?
Yes. Richmond's probate court has its own judge, with the Town Clerk serving as probate clerk, and hearings run at 9:30 a.m. on the third Tuesday of the month at Town Hall, 5 Richmond Townhouse Road. You can also attend by Zoom. When the will or a license from the court gives the executor authority to sell, I Buy Rhode Island Houses can close. How probate sales work.
Can I sell a house with an old cesspool?
Yes. A cash home buyer like I Buy Rhode Island Houses can take a Richmond house with a cesspool as it is. State law then allows 12 months after the sale for it to be replaced with a septic system, and it leaves who pays to the buyer and seller.
Do you buy houses that have flooded?
Yes. Richmond's flooding comes from its rivers, and FEMA lists 32 flood insurance claims in town, 22 of them from the March 2010 nor'easter. I Buy Rhode Island Houses buys Richmond houses with water damage as they are.
