What we do with the house and its contents
We can buy the inherited house with belongings left inside. You do not need to clean it out, make repairs, or haul belongings away to sell to us.
Property taxes, utilities, insurance, and upkeep can keep adding to the carrying costs while the house is in the estate.
What happens next
We start with a conversation about the house, its condition and contents, the estate, and what you want from a sale. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
Signing from somewhere else
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.

If you are the executor, you may be able to sell the house before the estate closes when the will gives you authority or Chancery Court orders the sale. Being an heir alone does not give you authority to sign for the estate. Read Mississippi Code Title 91, Chapter 7.
Mississippi has no state real-estate transfer tax. Deeds are subject to recording fees. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate. See the Mississippi Department of Revenue's tax laws and regulations.

Questions about selling an inherited Hattiesburg house
Can an inherited house be sold before the Mississippi estate closes?
If you are the executor, you may be able to sell the house before the estate closes when the will gives you authority or Chancery Court orders the sale. Being an heir alone does not give you authority to sign for the estate.
Do I have to put the inherited house in my own name before selling?
You can sell in the estate's name once the estate is opened — no need to put the house in your own name first. The estate still needs the right person to sign and any court authority required for that sale.
Do I have to clean out or repair the house?
We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. You can leave belongings in the house.
Can I sell from outside Mississippi?
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.
Does Mississippi charge a real-estate transfer tax, and who pays closing costs?
Mississippi has no state real-estate transfer tax; deeds are subject to recording fees, not a state transfer tax. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.
