Finding A Property

When you are ready to begin your search, here are a few ways to find a property in one of Richmond’s oldest neighborhoods.

Within the city’s oldest neighborhoods there are thousands of vacant and abandoned buildings full of potential and ready to be renovated for home and business use . However, most vacant properties are not actively listed for sale and may have unpaid debts or legal problems. If you come across such a property while driving through one of Richmond’s neighborhoods, contact A.C.O.R.N. and we will help you determine the best plan for acquiring the property. Determining ownership of the property is the most important first step in this process. Once ownership is determined, A.C.O.R.N. can help you formulate a strategy and begin the process for acquisition. Call our office at 422-2148 with the property address or send us an email us.

Completely Renovated Historic & Newly Constructed Homes in Richmond Neighborhoods

Many vacant, historic properties are acquired by the Richmond Redevelopment & Housing Authority (RRHA) local Community Development Corporations (CDC’s) and private developers that will renovate them and sell them on the open real estate market. Many of the CDC’s provide down payment and closing cost assistance that help keep the cost of owning one of these historic homes more affordable. These properties are available for purchase now and are available for purchase now.
