Sell an Inherited House Fast, As-Is
Inheriting a house often comes during one of the hardest times in life, along with property taxes, insurance, utilities, a full house of belongings and maybe siblings who don't agree on what to do. If you don't want to become a landlord or spend months fixing up the house to list it, a cash sale lets you settle the property quickly and fairly.
Can you sell a house that's still in probate?
In most states you can sign a purchase agreement while probate is open, but the sale can only close once the executor or administrator has legal authority to sell, or the estate otherwise passes title to the heirs. Some homes skip probate entirely, such as those held in a living trust, joint tenancy, or with a transfer-on-death deed. Your state's rules matter; see our state guides and speak with a probate attorney.
Selling when several heirs inherit together
When siblings or relatives inherit a house together, everyone usually has to agree to sell. A cash sale makes that easier: one clear number, no repairs to fund jointly, no months of carrying costs, and proceeds divided at closing according to each person's share.
Leave the belongings behind
Clearing out a lifetime of belongings is exhausting. When you sell to us, you can take the items that matter and leave the rest. We'll handle clean-out after closing.
Selling an inherited house from out of state
Many heirs live far from the property. We can do most of the process remotely: photos or a walkthrough with a local contact, electronic documents, and a mail-away or remote closing where your state allows it.
Taxes to ask about
Inherited property often receives a "stepped-up" tax basis to its value at the date of death, which can reduce capital gains if you sell soon. Some states reassess property taxes when ownership changes. Ask a tax professional how this applies to you.

Do I have to fix up an inherited house before selling?
No. We buy inherited houses as-is, including houses that need major updates or a full clean-out.
How long does it take?

What if there's still a mortgage on the house?
The loan is paid off from the sale proceeds at closing.
What if one heir doesn't want to sell?
Generally all owners must sign. A probate or real estate attorney can explain the options in your state.
