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 tell us what the family wants to keep. We can discuss what stays with the house and put the contents arrangement in the written terms before you commit.
While the estate holds the house, carrying costs may include a mortgage, property taxes, utilities, insurance, and upkeep.
What happens next
- Tell us the Greenville-area address, the house’s condition, what is in it, and where the estate process stands.
- We review the house and give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
- If you choose to move forward, you get written offer terms before you commit, and the sale closes through a title company.

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: compare your estimated proceeds
Compare a written as-is offer with what you might net from a listing after costs. Use your own assumptions; the calculator is an estimate for comparison, not an offer or settlement statement.

Ohio estate rules, signing authority, and conveyance fees
Usually, yes: if the will gives the executor power to sell, the executor appointed by the probate court can sign without a separate court order to sell under Ohio Rev. Code § 2113.39. The will and appointment still matter.
If the will does not give that power, another route may avoid a court sale. Unless the will forbids it, the surviving spouse and all beneficiaries named in the will — or all heirs if there is no will — must give written consent and file those consents with the probate court. The sale price must be at least 80% of the house's appraised value in the approved inventory. This option is not available if the surviving spouse or any beneficiary or heir is under 18. See Ohio Rev. Code § 2127.011.
If the owner recorded a transfer-on-death designation, the house may pass outside probate. The beneficiary records an affidavit and may sell it like an owner under Ohio Rev. Code § 5302.22 and § 5302.222. Check the recorded deed and title for the property's route.
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.
Ohio law sets a state conveyance fee of $1 per $1,000 of value and allows a county fee of up to $3 per $1,000 under Ohio Rev. Code § 319.54 and § 322.02. These statewide amounts are not a Darke County quote; confirm the current charge and how it applies to the deed with the Recorder or title company.

Frequently Asked Questions — Inherited Property in Greenville, OH
Can I sell an inherited house in Ohio before probate is finished?
Usually, yes. If the will gives the executor power to sell, the appointed executor can sign without a separate court order to sell. Ohio also has a written-consent route that may avoid a court sale, subject to the will, required consents, the approved inventory appraisal, and age restrictions. A recorded transfer-on-death designation may provide another route. The estate file and title review determine which one applies.
Who can sign for an inherited house?
If the will gives the executor power to sell, the executor appointed by the probate court can sign without a separate court order to sell. Other routes have their own conditions. The will, appointment, recorded deed, estate file, and title review matter. 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.
Do I have to put the house in my own name before selling it?
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. The title company or a qualified attorney can confirm who has authority to sign for the estate.
Can a transfer-on-death designation keep a house out of probate?
If the owner recorded a transfer-on-death designation, the house may pass outside probate. The beneficiary records an affidavit and may sell it like an owner under Ohio Rev. Code §§ 5302.22 and 5302.222. Check the recorded deed and title for the property’s actual route.
Do I need to clean out or repair an inherited house before selling to you?
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.
How do we handle personal belongings in the house?
Tell us which belongings the family wants to keep. Before you commit, the written terms can identify what will stay with the house and what will be taken out.
Can I sign from outside Ohio?
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 is the Ohio conveyance fee in Darke County?
Ohio law sets a state conveyance fee of $1 per $1,000 of value and allows a county fee of up to $3 per $1,000. Those statewide amounts are not a Darke County quote; ask the Recorder or title company to confirm the current charge and how it applies to the deed.
