Cash Offer or EZ Sale: compare the written numbers
Compare the written numbers with a listing plan, the time you have, and the costs and responsibilities that fit your house.
We have two ways to buy. A Cash Offer is built for speed, condition, and tough situations — heavy repairs, tight timelines, difficult circumstances. EZ Sale is often the better fit when the house doesn't need major repairs and you want a higher number. Either way, you compare written numbers and you pick what works best for you.

Estate authority and Missouri trustee-sale timing
Selling a house held in an estate
The probate-court-appointed personal representative handles the estate sale; an heir does not sign for the estate just because they inherited the house. In independent administration, the representative generally may sell estate real estate within the will's limits and for the estate's benefit. A sale in supervised administration generally follows a court order. The representative petitions the court, notice goes to heirs and devisees, and the representative files a report of sale for court approval. If the will gives the executor a power to sell, the executor may sell under that power.
If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one. Not sure what the papers mean? Call us — we'll sort it out with you.

If a trustee's sale is scheduled
A sale may still be possible if the loan can be paid off before the sale. With a deed of trust that gives the lender a power of sale, foreclosure can proceed through a trustee's sale without a court case. The sale is held in the county where the house is located, with at least 20 days' notice published in a newspaper and mailed by certified or registered mail to the owner of record. If the lender or someone acting for it buys at the sale, you can redeem within one year. To keep that right, give written notice of intent at the sale or within ten days before it, then file a court-approved bond within 20 days after the sale. If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
