Anne Arundel County wraps around more Chesapeake Bay shoreline than almost any other Maryland county. There are rivers and creeks everywhere, from the Magothy and Severn down to the South and West Rivers. Annapolis is the state capital and county seat, and Highland Beach is the county’s only other incorporated town. Glen Burnie, Pasadena, Severn, Odenton and Crofton are all unincorporated. I’m Evan Weissman. I buy Anne Arundel houses for cash as-is, and I list them as a licensed agent.

Where I Buy in Anne Arundel

North county: Glen Burnie, Linthicum, Brooklyn Park, Ferndale, Severn, Hanover and Pasadena. Central: Odenton, Gambrills, Crofton, Millersville, Severna Park and Arnold. South county: Edgewater, Davidsonville, Mayo, Shady Side and Deale. Plus Annapolis itself. In the north, it’s mostly 1950s Cape Cods, ranchers and townhomes. Down south, waterfront cottages have often been expanded over the years. If you’re further north in Carroll, see the Westminster page.

I’ll look at almost any house: single-family, townhome, row, twin, or multi-family, any age, any condition, any situation.

The Critical Area and Waterfront Lots

Land within 1,000 feet of tidal water falls under Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay Critical Area rules. Those rules limit new impervious surface, clearing and building close to the shoreline. Many buyers want to add a garage, a deck or a second story. In the Critical Area, those plans may need variances, and that affects what a buyer will pay. Bulkheads, piers and shoreline erosion are inspection items to expect. See Critical Area basics.

Military and BWI-Area Moves

Fort Meade, the Naval Academy and BWI Marshall bring a steady stream of people moving in and out of Odenton, Severn, Hanover and Glen Burnie. When orders come with a short report date, a cash sale or a fast listing can line up with the move. See military PCS moves and relocating.

Anne Arundel Settlement Taxes

Anne Arundel’s county transfer tax is 1.0% on most homes, rising to 1.5% of the full price on sales of $1,000,000 and up. Recordation is $3.50 per $500, and the state adds 0.5%. Your contract decides the split. See what it costs to sell in Maryland.

Estates, Taxes and HOAs

Anne Arundel estates open at the Register of Wills, 2011 Commerce Park Drive in Annapolis (410-222-1430). If you’re behind on property taxes, contact the county’s Office of Finance well before the annual tax sale. Many subdivisions and townhome communities have HOAs that require resale packets, and past-due dues get paid at settlement. See inherited houses, behind on property taxes and HOA resale documents.

How a Sale With Me Works

Call, text or fill out the form with a few basics about the house.
I walk the house with you and hear what you need.
You get a written cash offer with no obligation.
You pick the settlement date. A Maryland title company handles closing.

Three Ways to Sell in Anne Arundel County

Option 1: Sell directly to me for cash

No repairs, no bulkhead work, no showings and no commission on my own purchase. You choose when to settle.

Option 2: List with me

Waterfront and updated homes in Severna Park, Arnold and Annapolis often do well on the open market. I’ll list yours and give you realistic numbers.

Option 3: Renovate and Sell Together

Where it fits, Evan can handle and pay for the updates under a written agreement, then sell on the open market. The cost of that work is repaid at settlement. You keep ownership until the sale. There is no guaranteed sale price or profit. Review any agreement with your own attorney before you sign.

I renovate most houses I buy with my own crew, and if I partner with another local buyer on yours, I’ll tell you before you sign.

Side-by-side paths: cash offer vs listing in Maryland.

Behind on Mortgage Payments

If you are behind on your mortgage or facing foreclosure, start with free help before you decide anything. A HUD-approved housing counselor costs nothing and can walk you through options with your servicer, such as catching up, a repayment plan, forbearance, or a loan modification. The Maryland HOPE hotline, 1-877-462-7555, connects homeowners with those counselors. If you have court papers or a sale date, I also recommend talking with a Maryland attorney. I can’t promise to stop a foreclosure, and I won’t pressure you. If you and your counselor decide a sale makes sense, I’ll put a cash number next to a listing plan so you can compare.
