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 decide what you want to keep. Anything left in the house can be listed in the written terms, so you know what is included in the sale.
While the estate is being settled, the house may keep generating carrying costs such as property taxes, utilities, insurance, upkeep, and mortgage payments. Selling as-is can mean you do not have to take on repairs or a cleanout before discussing a sale.
What happens next
- Tell us the property address and what you know about its condition, contents, and estate status.
- We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
- Before you commit, you can review the written offer and written terms. If you choose to proceed, the closing is handled by a title company.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.

Who can sign for the estate?
Often, yes—you may be able to sell before probate is finished, but the person signing for the estate needs legal authority. Unless the will provides otherwise, an 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.
A waiver of administration can reduce paperwork, but it does not remove the administrator's responsibilities. Property liens still need to be paid or released for clear title. The title company or a qualified attorney can check the estate papers and confirm who may sign for this sale.
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.
- RSA 559:18 — sale with written consent
- RSA 559:1 — court license for sale
- RSA 553:32 — waiver of administration
New Hampshire real estate transfer tax
New Hampshire real estate transfer tax charges both buyer and seller $0.75 per $100, or fraction of $100, of the taxable price. On a $100,000 sale, each party owes $750, or $1,500 combined. Each party's tax is rounded to the nearest whole dollar; for a price of $4,000 or less, the minimum is $20 each. The closing professional handles the tax stamps and required Department of Revenue Administration filings, including any exemption.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New Hampshire real estate transfer tax. This does not pay the seller's mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes.
