We buy the house and handle the contents

Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is. You can keep belongings you want; the written terms can say what stays in the house.

Mortgage payments, property taxes, utilities, insurance, and upkeep can continue while the estate holds the house. We can discuss the house and its contents as they are, without asking you to clean it out first.

What happens next

  1. 1. Talk through the house

    We discuss the El Dorado address, the house's condition, its contents, and any estate papers you already have.

  2. 2. Review the written offer

    We give you the written offer and terms before you commit, so you can review them before deciding.

  3. 3. Close through a title company

    If you choose to proceed, the sale closes through a title company.

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 may keep after costs

Arkansas estate rules and taxes

Who can sign

The personal representative can sell estate property before the estate closes if the will grants a power of sale. If it does not, the representative generally needs an order from the probate court before selling. Read Arkansas Title 28, Chapter 49 or the state's Arkansas Code and Constitution.

Arkansas Real Property Transfer Tax

Arkansas's Real Property Transfer Tax applies to a deed or other writing conveying real property and is $3.30 per $1,000 of actual consideration when the transaction exceeds $100. The settlement agent confirms how it applies to the instrument and consideration, any exemption, and local charges. See the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration tax guidance.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Arkansas Real Property Transfer Tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
