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 things you want; you do not have to empty the house or finish repairs before asking about a sale.
A house can keep bringing bills while the estate is being handled: property taxes, utilities, insurance, and upkeep. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.

Compare what you might net from listing with what you might net from an as-is sale. Change the calculator assumptions to fit the house and its costs; it is an estimate, not a property-specific offer.
Michigan estate authority and sale taxes
In Michigan, an appointed personal representative can generally sell estate real estate during administration without a separate court order, while acting for the estate and following the will and any court restrictions. A state or county public administrator needs court approval before selling estate real estate. The deed, will, and appointment papers determine who can sign and what is needed to close; being named in a will does not by itself give someone the personal representative's powers.
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.
State and county real estate transfer taxes
For an ordinary taxable sale, Michigan state real estate transfer tax is $3.75 for each $500 of the property's value at the time of sale, or part of $500. The county tax is generally another 55 cents for each $500, or part of $500. State and county exemptions are separate, so the actual county, sale value, and any exemption need to be checked for the sale.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Michigan state and county real estate transfer taxes. This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
