Inherited a House

Sell an inherited house — without the burden.

Inheriting a house often comes with a full house of belongings, deferred repairs, taxes and insurance — usually while you're grieving and maybe living far away. We make selling it simple.

Leave the house as it is

You don't need to empty the closets, haul out furniture or fix what's been put off for years. Take what matters to you and your family; leave the rest. We buy the house as-is and handle what's left behind after closing.

  • No cleanout — belongings can stay.
  • No repairs or updates — we price the work in, you don't do it.
  • Remote-friendly — most of the process can happen by phone, email and a local or mobile notary.

Working with probate

If the estate is going through probate, the person the court appoints — the executor or personal representative — is usually the one who can sign to sell. Many sales start while probate is still underway and close once the court allows it. Rules vary by state, so it's worth a quick conversation with the estate's attorney; we're happy to coordinate with them.

When several heirs share the house

A sale often has to work for siblings or other family members too. A clear written offer, with the numbers explained, makes that conversation easier — everyone sees the same thing.

This page is general information, not legal, tax or financial advice. Rules differ by state — for advice about your situation, talk to an attorney, tax professional or HUD-approved housing counselor.
