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. You can keep the belongings you want, and you do not have to empty the house before asking about a sale. We agree in writing on how any remaining contents are handled.
Whether the family keeps the house or sells it, property taxes, utilities, insurance, and upkeep can continue adding to its carrying costs.
What happens next
- Tell us the Laconia property address, its condition, what is in the house, and what you know about the estate.
- We talk through the property and the sale questions you already know about. We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
- You receive written offer terms before you commit. If you want to move ahead, the closing is handled through a title company.
- The title company reviews the deed, estate signer, liens, and closing paperwork 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.
Compare what you keep
Compare the written offer with a realistic listing estimate after costs and the time the estate expects to keep paying for the house. The calculator uses editable assumptions; its result is an estimate, not a property-specific offer.

Often, an inherited New Hampshire house can be sold before probate is finished, but the person signing for the estate needs legal authority. Unless the will provides otherwise, the administrator or executor may sell with written consent from the surviving spouse and the heirs or devisees, or their guardians or conservators. The probate court can also license a sale, for example when other estate assets cannot cover estate debts. See the New Hampshire rules for a sale with consent and a court-licensed sale.
A waiver of administration reduces paperwork; it does not remove the administrator's responsibilities. Property liens still need to be paid or released for clear title. The statute on waivers of administration explains that 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.
New Hampshire real estate transfer tax is charged to both buyer and seller at $0.75 per $100, or fraction of $100, of taxable price. Each party's tax is rounded to the nearest whole dollar; for a taxable price of $4,000 or less, the minimum is $20 each. On a $100,000 sale, each party's tax is $750. The closing professional handles tax stamps through the county register of deeds and required filings with the Department of Revenue Administration, including any exemption. See the state sources for the transfer-tax rate and payment and rounding rules.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New Hampshire real estate transfer tax. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.
