You stop paying for a house and get a fair price.

We buy the house and handle the contents

An inherited house can keep bringing utility, insurance, upkeep, and property-tax costs while the estate is being handled. Those carrying costs depend on the house and the estate.

Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is. You can tell us which belongings you want to keep, and the written terms can address the contents and access. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

What happens next

1. 1. Talk through the house

   Share the Clarksville address, the house’s condition, what is inside, and what you know about the estate. You do not need every estate question answered before you call.

2. 2. Review the written offer

   We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You receive written terms to review before you commit.

3. 3. Close through a title company

   If you choose to proceed, the title company reviews the closing file and confirms the documents and signatures needed for this property and estate. Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.

Tennessee estate rules and transfer tax

Who can sign

Often, yes: you can sell an inherited Tennessee house before the estate is finished once the right people sign. Tennessee real property usually passes at death to the heirs or the people named in the will. A will can instead direct that the house be handled as part of the estate, under the personal representative’s control.

The probate court appoints the personal representative to handle the estate. When there is a will, this is usually the executor it names. The court’s letters show that person’s authority. If the will puts the house under the personal representative’s control or gives that person the power to sell it, the representative can usually sign. Otherwise, the heirs or beneficiaries who own the house generally all need to sign the deed.

If the estate’s other assets cannot pay its debts, the personal representative or a creditor can ask the court to order the house sold. Everyone with an interest in the house is part of that court case. Tennessee’s small-estate process covers personal property only, not a house. Estate debts can still affect a sale, so the closing attorney or title company will confirm who must sign. See Tenn. Code Ann. §§ 31-2-103, 30-2-402 and 30-4-102.

We help coordinate the sale, but we do not provide legal advice. The title company or a qualified attorney can confirm who has authority to sign for the estate.

Tennessee realty transfer tax

Tennessee charges a state realty transfer tax when a deed is recorded. The rate is 37 cents for each $100 of the price paid or the property’s value, whichever is greater. By law, the buyer pays it. The county Register of Deeds collects the tax for the state. Some transfers are exempt, including certain deeds between spouses, divorce settlements, an executor’s deed carrying out a will, and transfers into or out of a revocable living trust. See Tenn. Code Ann. § 67-4-409(a) and the Tennessee Department of Revenue’s recordation-tax guidance.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Tennessee's realty transfer tax.

Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.
