What we do with the house and its contents
USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in Green Bay and Brown County, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, and no cleanout required to sell to us.
You can tell us what you want to keep; we can address the contents left in the house in the written terms. You do not have to haul away belongings before selling to us.
While an estate keeps a house, carrying costs such as mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, utilities, and upkeep can continue. The actual bills depend on the property and its accounts.

Wisconsin estate rules and transfer fee
Green Bay is in Brown County; for someone who lived in Wisconsin, probate generally takes place in the county where they lived at death, not necessarily where the house is. See Wis. Stat. § 856.01.
Usually, yes. A Wisconsin personal representative with issued, unrevoked letters can generally sell estate property before probate is finished without a separate court order under Wis. Stat. § 860.01. Follow any sale restriction in the will. If the will specifically leaves the house to a beneficiary, that beneficiary generally must join in the sale under Wis. Stat. § 860.11. A court-order exception may apply when the estate cannot otherwise pay its required expenses and claims. A valid transfer-on-death designation may pass the house outside probate under Wis. Stat. § 705.15.
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.
On a sale that is not exempt, Wisconsin charges 30 cents for every $100 of the sale price, or part of $100. The fee is collected when the deed is recorded. Some transfers are exempt, and recording and other closing charges are separate. The Wisconsin Department of Revenue explains the real estate transfer fee.
When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee.
That named fee is separate from your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes.

Can I sell an inherited Green Bay house from the estate?
You can sell in the estate's name once the estate is opened — no need to put the house in your own name first. A personal representative with issued, unrevoked letters can generally sell estate property before probate is finished, subject to the will and any required beneficiary or court approval.
Who can sign to sell an inherited house in Wisconsin?
A Wisconsin personal representative with issued, unrevoked letters may generally sell estate property without a separate court order. The will still matters: a sale restriction must be followed, and a beneficiary specifically left the house generally must join in the sale. A court-order exception may apply when the estate cannot otherwise pay its required expenses and claims.
Do I have to clean out the house or make repairs first?
Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. Tell us what you want to keep; any remaining contents can be addressed in the written terms.
Can I sign from outside Wisconsin?
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 transfer fee applies when an inherited house is sold?
On a sale that is not exempt, Wisconsin charges the seller 30 cents for every $100 of the sale price, or part of $100. Inheriting a house does not by itself exempt a later sale. When you sell to us, we pay the Wisconsin real estate transfer fee.
How long can an inherited-house sale take?
Estate administration has no single timeline. We can discuss the house and a written offer while the estate process continues. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
