What we do with the house and its contents
Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is.
You can take the belongings you want to keep. Tell us what you would like to keep, and we can write down what stays with the house.
While the estate owns the house, bills can continue: property taxes, insurance, utilities, upkeep, and a mortgage payment. Selling lets you stop carrying the house going forward.
What happens next
Start with a conversation about the property, its condition, the contents, and any estate papers you have. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
Signing from another location
Sell from anywhere in the country — we can send a notary to you, and you don't have to attend settlement or even visit the property.
Compare what you could keep
Compare a written offer with an estimate of what you might net through another sale path. Change the assumptions to match the property and the costs you expect.

Who can sign?
In Georgia, a personal representative may sell estate real property before probate closes if the will grants a power of sale or the probate court grants authority under O.C.G.A. § 53-8-13. If the will grants no power of sale, the representative must ask the probate court for leave. Being an heir or named executor alone is not enough to sign. Read the official Georgia Probate Court petition for leave to sell property.

Georgia real-estate transfer tax
Georgia's real-estate transfer tax is $1 for the first $1,000 of sale price or fraction, then 10 cents for each additional $100 or fraction. The seller is legally liable, although the sales contract can assign payment to the buyer. The deed generally cannot be recorded until the tax is paid, and some statutory exemptions may apply. Read the Georgia Department of Revenue's real-estate transfer tax guidance.
Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate from the closing costs we pay.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Georgia real-estate transfer tax.
