What we do with the house and its contents
Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is. Take the things you want and leave the rest with the house.
While it remains unsold, property taxes, utilities, insurance, upkeep, and mortgage payments can keep coming.
What happens next
We talk through the property, its condition and contents, and what you know about the estate. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
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.
What you keep
Compare a written offer with estimates for a listing and the costs you expect to carry. Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Virginia estate rules, taxes, and who can sign
In Virginia, real estate passes at death to the heirs or the people named in the will. To sell, an executor must be appointed through the circuit court clerk, and the will must direct a sale or give the executor power to sell; a court can grant that power too. Otherwise, the heirs or beneficiaries generally sign together. If they cannot agree, a circuit court can order a sale. See Virginia Code § 64.2-200 and § 64.2-521.
If heirs or beneficiaries sell within one year after the owner's death, the deceased owner's creditors can challenge the sale unless no court action over estate debts is started and no report of debts is filed within that year. A court-ordered sale within that first year is protected when the money goes to a court-appointed commissioner. See Virginia Code § 64.2-534, § 64.2-535 and § 8.01-81.
Virginia charges grantor tax when the deed is recorded. The law assigns it to the seller, but the sales contract can shift who pays. The rate is 50 cents for each $500, or part of $500, of the greater of the sale price or value. Separate state and locally adopted recordation taxes may also apply. Exemptions and transfers for little or no consideration can change the amount; the settlement agent confirms the figures. See Virginia Code § 58.1-802.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Virginia state and local recordation taxes, grantor tax and any applicable regional WMATA capital fee, regional congestion relief fee or regional transportation improvement fee. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.
