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 and your family can decide what to keep. Property taxes, utilities, insurance, upkeep, and any mortgage payment can continue while the house is held. The written terms can identify which contents stay with the house.
What happens next
- 1. Talk through the property. Share the Evansville address, the house’s condition, what is inside, and what you know about the estate.
- 2. Review the written offer. We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours. You can review the offer and written terms before deciding.
- 3. Close through a title company. If you choose to proceed, the title company reviews the property and estate records and confirms the signing and closing steps for this sale.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.

What you keep
Compare a written cash offer with a possible listing using your own estimates for repairs, selling costs, and the time the house may carry expenses.
Indiana estate rules and closing costs
Often, yes: an inherited Indiana house may be sold before probate is finished. In an unsupervised estate, a court-appointed personal representative—the person appointed to manage the estate—can generally sell estate property without a separate sale order. A will may also give the representative power to sell. If neither route applies, a court order may be needed. Check the appointment, will, deed, and any court restrictions before setting a closing date. See Indiana Code § 29-1-7.5-3(a)(25), subject to § 29-1-7.5-2(d) and §§ 29-1-15-2 and -3.
A valid transfer-on-death deed recorded before the owner’s death may pass the house to the named beneficiary outside probate. See Indiana Code § 32-17-14-11.
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.
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.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay a mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes; those remain separate.

Questions about selling an inherited house
Inherited-property questions in Evansville
Can I sell an inherited Indiana house before probate is finished?
Often, yes. A court-appointed personal representative—the person appointed to manage the estate—in an unsupervised estate can generally sell estate property without a separate sale order. A will may also give the representative power to sell. If neither route applies, a court order may be needed. Check the appointment, will, deed, and any court restrictions before setting a closing date.
Who can sign for an inherited house?
The right signer depends on how the house passes and the estate documents. A court-appointed personal representative in an unsupervised estate can generally sell estate property without a separate sale order; a will may also give the representative power to sell. If neither route applies, a court order may be needed. The title company or a qualified attorney can confirm who has authority to sign for the estate.
Do I need to put the house in my own name before selling it?

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.
Can a transfer-on-death deed pass the house outside probate?
A valid transfer-on-death deed recorded before the owner's death may pass the house to the named beneficiary outside probate. Have the deed and current title reviewed to confirm whether that route applies.
Do I need to clean out or repair the inherited house first?
