What we do with the house and contents
Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is. You can keep the items your family wants and tell us what may remain; a cleanout is not required to sell to us.
Property taxes, utilities, insurance, and upkeep can keep adding to the cost of holding a house. We can talk through the property and its contents whether the family plans to keep it or sell it.
What happens next
We'll talk about the address, the home's condition, and the contents your family wants to keep. We review the property and give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
We review title, payoff, occupancy, and seller authority with the title company. 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.
What you keep from the sale
Compare an as-is sale with a listing estimate using your own assumptions for repairs, cleanout, monthly bills, and closing costs. No agent commissions when you sell to us. The calculator is an estimate; your written offer and the property's closing details determine the actual figures.

Wisconsin estate rules and taxes
Usually, an estate can sell the house before probate is finished. A personal representative—the person appointed to manage the estate—with issued, unrevoked letters (current appointment papers) can generally sell estate real estate without a separate court order. See Wis. Stat. § 860.01.
The will still matters: any restriction on a sale must be followed, and a beneficiary specifically left the house generally must join the sale. A court-order exception may apply when the estate cannot otherwise pay its required expenses and claims. See Wis. Stat. § 860.11(1)–(4). A valid transfer-on-death deed may pass the house to its named beneficiary outside probate under Wis. Stat. § 705.15. Before setting a closing date, the title company or a qualified attorney can review the deed, will, appointment papers, and any court orders.
Wisconsin real estate transfer fee
On a sale that isn't exempt, Wisconsin charges the seller 30 cents for every $100 of the sale price, or part of $100. That's $300 on a $100,000 sale. It is collected when the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt, and recording and other closing charges are separate. See Wisconsin's transfer-fee statutes and the Wisconsin Department of Revenue report.
When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
