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 tell us which belongings the family wants to keep, and we can discuss what stays in the house. Property taxes, insurance, utilities, and upkeep can keep adding to its carrying costs while the estate holds the house.
What happens next
- 1. Talk through the property. Tell us about the house, what the family wants to keep, and what you know about the estate. We can discuss the house as it is.
- 2. Review a written offer. 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.
- 3. Understand the costs and timing. No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. 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 an estimate of what you might net from listing, using your own assumptions for repairs, cleanout, and carrying costs.

In an unsupervised estate, a court-appointed personal representative can generally sell estate property without a separate sale order. A will may also give the representative power to sell. If neither route applies, a court order may be needed.
A valid transfer-on-death deed recorded before the owner's death may pass the house to the named beneficiary outside probate.
The Greene County Treasurer can answer questions about a property-tax account or tax-sale notice. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from closing costs.
