Sell an inherited house — probate or not

Inherited properties are the single most common thing we buy. Usually the house is older, partly furnished, and has been sitting since the last owner moved into care or passed away. Sometimes the estate is still open; sometimes three siblings own it together; sometimes the deed is still in a parent’s name.

We buy in every one of those situations. If the estate is still in probate, the personal representative can usually sign a purchase agreement subject to court approval, or we wait until the estate closes. If several heirs are involved, everyone who holds title signs at closing — and we will happily get on a call with the family and the attorney so nobody has to relay messages.

You do not need to empty the house, fix the roof, or clean out forty years of belongings. Take the photographs and the sentimental items, tell us what stays, and we handle the rest.

What we look at before quoting a number

• Whether probate is open, closed, or not required in your state
• How title is held and who must sign at closing
• Outstanding taxes, liens, or reverse-mortgage balance
• The condition: roof, systems, water intrusion, contents
• Your timeline — some families want it done in a week, others need months

How a cash sale solves this

There is no listing period, no showings, no repair requests and no buyer whose mortgage can collapse three weeks in. You get one written number, a title company that handles the paperwork, and a closing date you choose — typically fourteen to thirty days from acceptance.

If getting a real number for the property would help you decide — even if you are months away from doing anything — ask for one. It costs nothing and there is no obligation.
