Sell the house as it stands
A traditional listing
A listing may bring a higher price, but you may need time and money to prepare the house, arrange showings, respond to buyer requests, and pay agent commissions.
Compare what you might keep, the work involved, and when you need to move — not only the sale price.
Compare the Cash Offer and EZ Sale
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.
Cash Offer
USA Home Buyers buys directly. 30 days or less. Lower price. No repairs, no commissions, no closing costs.
EZ Sale
Goes to one of our partners. 60 days or less. Higher price than the Cash Offer. Still no repairs, no commissions, no closing costs.
Showings: Yes, partner visits.

Selling an inherited house
The probate court appoints a personal representative — an executor or administrator — to handle the estate. An heir cannot sign just because they inherit. In independent administration, the representative generally can sell estate real estate without a separate court order, within the will's limits and for the estate's benefit. In supervised administration, a sale generally follows a court order. A will may also give the executor power to sell.
You can sell in the estate's name once the estate is opened — no need to put the house in your own name first. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one. Not sure what your papers mean? Call us — we'll sort it out with you.

The St. Louis County Probate Court page has local probate contacts, forms, FAQs, and estate-fee information.
If a trustee's sale is scheduled
A sale may still be possible if the loan can be paid off before the sale. When a home loan is secured by a deed of trust with a power of sale, the lender can foreclose through a trustee's sale without a court case. The sale is held in the county where the property is, with at least 20 days' notice published in a newspaper and mailed by certified or registered mail to the owner of record.
If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.

Questions Oakville sellers ask
Who can sign for an inherited Missouri house?
The personal representative appointed by the probate court handles the estate; an heir cannot sign just because they inherit. In independent administration, the representative generally can sell without a separate court order, within the will's limits and for the estate's benefit. In supervised administration, a sale generally follows a court order. You can sell in the estate's name once the estate is opened — no need to put the house in your own name first.
Can I sell a house with tenants still living there?
You don't always need to evict to sell to us. We buy houses with tenants in place — we've done it many times, including cash-for-keys when that works better for everyone.
Can I sell before a Missouri trustee's sale?
A sale may still be possible if the loan can be paid off before the sale. If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
What deed recording fees apply in Missouri?
County recorders charge $5 for the first page of a deed and $3 for each additional page, plus per-document fees set by state law. The title company or closing professional confirms the exact recording charges. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
