Sell an Inherited House — Fast Cash, No Repairs, No Probate Headaches
Whether the estate is already in probate, still being settled, or you're one of several heirs trying to agree on next steps, we make selling an inherited property simple, fair, and fast.
One Less Thing to Manage During an Already Difficult Time
Inheriting a property often comes with distance, disagreement, or a home that needs more work than anyone wants to take on. Here's how selling to us simplifies it.
No Repairs Needed
Sell the property exactly as it was left to you — no cleanout, no fixing up, no staging required.
Works With Multiple Heirs
We can coordinate with all heirs or with a single executor, and structure the sale so everyone is kept informed.
Out-of-State Friendly
Handling the sale remotely? Most of the process can be done by phone, email, and mobile notary — no need to fly in.
Flexible on Timing
Close quickly once probate allows, or take the time needed to sort through belongings and family logistics.
Zero Fees or Commissions
No agent commissions, no closing costs on our end — more of the estate's value stays with the heirs.
Patient & Judgment-Free
We understand this is often an emotional process, not just a transaction, and we move at a pace that respects that.
Where We Can Step In During Probate
Every estate is different, but here's generally how the process unfolds — and where a cash sale can fit in.
Executor Appointed
The court appoints an executor or administrator to manage the estate's assets.
Property Identified
The inherited home is inventoried as part of the estate along with other assets.
Court Authorization
Depending on the case, the executor may need court approval (or Independent Administration authority) to sell.
Sale & Distribution
Once cleared to sell, proceeds are distributed to heirs per the will or state law.
This is a general overview, not legal advice. For guidance specific to your estate, we recommend speaking with a probate attorney — and we're happy to work alongside them.

Leave the Belongings — We'll Handle It

"As executor, I needed a clean, documented sale the court and my siblings could all trust. They were patient and professional through the whole probate timeline."
"We didn't have to touch a single box or piece of furniture. They bought the house as-is, contents included, which took so much weight off our shoulders."

Additional Questions About This Selling Situation
Can heirs sell an inherited Bay Area house as-is?
Yes. We buy inherited houses as-is, including homes that need repairs, cleanout, or coordination among multiple heirs.
What if the inherited property still has belongings inside?
You can take the items you want and leave the rest. Cleanout needs can be factored into the cash offer and handled after closing.
Can you work with an executor or probate attorney?
Yes. We can coordinate with the executor, administrator, or probate attorney so the sale process fits the estate requirements.
Is selling for cash always the best option for heirs?
Not always. Some inherited homes are better suited for a traditional listing, but a cash sale can help when repairs, distance, timing, or family coordination make listing difficult.
