You inherited a house. Now what.
Inheriting a house is rarely simple. A parent or relative is gone, you may be grieving, and now there's a property to deal with, often full of decades of belongings, possibly in a different city or state, and almost always needing some level of work. The traditional sale process, with showings and inspections and waiting on financing, can take months you don't have and energy you don't want to spend.
We handle inherited properties regularly. We work with local probate attorneys, coordinate with siblings and co-heirs, accommodate remote sellers, and buy the house as-is, contents and all. Leave behind whatever you don't want. We'll handle the clean-out.
Common inherited-property situations we handle
- Out-of-state heirs who can't fly back repeatedly to deal with the property
- Multiple siblings or co-heirs who want a clean cash split rather than a drawn-out sale
- Probate still in process, where we work directly with the attorney and close once the estate is cleared
- Homes full of belongings, including hoarder situations and decades of accumulated items
- Properties needing significant repair that traditional buyers won't take on
- Title issues from informal succession or old liens that need cleanup before closing
Working with your attorney
If the property is still in probate, we don't push you to act before the estate is ready. We can sign a contract subject to the probate completing, give you a defined cash offer, and close once the attorney releases the property. This locks in your sale price and timeline before the market shifts.
What an inherited-property sale looks like
Here's the typical flow: You call or message us with the basics about the property. We pull comps and provide a written cash offer within 24 to 48 hours. If the number works, we sign a contract, coordinate with your attorney if needed, and close at a local title company. The estate receives cash, you split it according to the will, and you're done.
If you have things in the house you want, take them. If you don't, leave them. We'll handle everything else.
