What we do with the house and its contents
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is.
You can keep the belongings your family wants. We buy the house as it is, with the rest still inside — no cleanout or hauling to arrange.
Utilities, insurance, property taxes, upkeep, and any mortgage payment can keep adding to the cost of holding a house while an estate is being settled.

If the will gives the executor power to sell, the appointed executor can generally sell without a separate court order unless the will says otherwise or a will contest is pending. See K.S.A. 59-1413.
Without that power, the executor or administrator can ask the district court for an order to sell, with notice unless it is waived. A private sale generally needs an appraisal from the past six months and a price of at least three-quarters of the appraised value; the court confirms the sale, sometimes in the same order. See K.S.A. 59-2303, 59-2304, 59-2305, 59-2307, and 59-2309.
Kansas’s simplified estate procedure reduces court supervision but keeps the notice requirement. If no estate was opened and no will was filed, heirs can ask the district court to decide who inherited after six months. A surviving spouse may be entitled to the homestead, so those rights need to be addressed. See K.S.A. 59-1410, 59-2250, and 59-6a215.
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.
Kansas does not charge a real estate transfer tax or deed tax. The mortgage registration tax ended January 1, 2019. County recording fees are $21 for the first page of a deed or mortgage and $17 for each additional page. See K.S.A. 79-3102, K.S.A. 28-115, and the Kansas Legislative Research Department’s mortgage-registration-tax summary.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
