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 house 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-house situations we handle

  • Out-of-state heirs who can't fly back repeatedly to deal with the house
  • 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 house 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 house. This locks in your sale price and timeline before the market shifts.

What an inherited-house sale looks like

Here's the typical flow: You call or message us with the basics about the house. We pull comps and provide a written cash offer within 1-2 business days. 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.

Selling an inherited house: common questions

Straight answers for heirs, whether you are local or handling it from out of state.

Often yes, but it depends on where the estate is in the process. In Mississippi, title usually has to clear probate before it can transfer to a buyer. We can sign a purchase agreement while probate is still underway, which locks in the price and timeline early, then we close once the court clears the sale. We work with your attorney on the timing. For your specific estate, talk to a Mississippi probate attorney.

Everyone with an ownership interest generally has to agree to the sale and sign. That is common with inherited houses, and a cash sale can actually make it easier, because one clean number and one closing date is simpler to get everyone to agree on than a drawn-out listing. If the heirs are split on whether to sell, that gets sorted before we come in.

No. We handle inherited houses for out-of-state heirs regularly. Closings can be done remotely through the title company with a mail-away or notary, so you do not have to fly in. We can also handle checking on the house, since you are not nearby to do it yourself.

No. You can take what you want and leave the rest. We buy inherited houses as they sit, including ones that need repairs or are still full of furniture and personal items. You do not have to clean it out, fix anything, or stage it. That is usually a relief when you are handling an estate from a distance.

Inherited houses get what is called a stepped-up basis, which often reduces or removes capital gains tax, but it depends on your situation and what the house was worth when you inherited it. We are not tax advisors and cannot tell you what you will owe. Talk to a CPA or tax professional before you sell so you know where you stand.
