We buy the house and take it as it is
We buy houses as-is in the City of Hudson and Columbia County. 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.
Mortgage payments, property taxes, utilities, insurance, and upkeep can continue while the estate is being handled. You do not have to finish a cleanout or repair project before asking about a sale. If the estate intends to keep particular belongings, identify them during the conversation so they can be addressed in the written terms.
What happens next
- Tell us the Hudson property address and what you know about its condition, contents, access, and estate status.
- We talk through the house and your questions, then give you a written offer and written terms before you commit.
- If you choose to proceed, a title company coordinates the closing and confirms the documents and signatures needed for this property.
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.

Who can sell and sign?
Often, yes: an executor or administrator appointed by Surrogate’s Court can generally sell estate property during administration, subject to the will and court restrictions. If the will leaves the house to a specific person, that property is outside the representative’s general sale power; the sale usually needs that person’s agreement or a court order. Some court papers also require court approval before real estate is sold.
Being named executor in a will is not the same as having the court’s appointment. Some New York houses pass outside probate through a valid transfer-on-death deed. The deed and estate papers determine who can sign. A release of the New York State estate tax lien is generally needed to close.
New York State real estate transfer tax is $2 for each $500 of sale price, or part of $500, when the price exceeds $500. That is $400 on a $100,000 sale before local tax or an exemption. The seller normally pays the base tax, but the sale agreement can provide otherwise; local transfer taxes may add. A separate 1% mansion tax applies to residential sales of $1 million or more and is normally paid by the buyer.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New York State real estate transfer tax and any applicable local real estate transfer taxes. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.

Questions and contact
Questions about an inherited house in Hudson, NY
Can an executor sell an inherited New York house before the estate is finished?
Often, yes. An executor or administrator appointed by Surrogate’s Court can generally sell estate property during administration, subject to the will and court restrictions. A house the will leaves to a specific person is outside that general sale power, so the sale usually needs that person’s agreement or a court order. Some court papers also require court approval before real estate is sold.
Who can sign to sell an inherited house in New York?
The deed and estate papers determine who can sign. Being named executor in a will is not the same as having the Surrogate’s Court appointment. The title company or a qualified attorney can review the actual documents and confirm who has authority for this property.
Does every inherited New York house go through probate?
No. Some houses pass outside probate through a valid transfer-on-death deed. The deed and estate papers determine which route applies and who can sign.
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.
Do I need to clean out or repair an inherited house first?
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.
