What we do with the house and its contents
USA Home Buyers buys houses as-is in New Philadelphia, OH and throughout Tuscarawas 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.
Belongings can remain in the house, and you do not need listing-agent showings to sell to us. Before you decide, we can discuss what stays, access, and the contents in clear written terms.
Keeping a property can mean carrying costs such as property taxes, utilities, insurance, mortgage payments, and maintenance. You can compare those ongoing costs with an offer and the other choices for the house.
What happens next
- We talk through the property, its condition, the belongings, access, and what you know about the estate.
- We review the house as-is, along with title, payoff, occupancy, and seller authority. You do not have to repair or clear out the contents first.
- We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and clear written terms to review before you commit, and can decide whether they work for you.
- If you choose to proceed, we close through a title company. 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.
Compare what you keep
Compare a written cash offer with an estimate of what listing could leave after costs, using your own assumptions. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. No agent commissions when you sell to us. No fees. Your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate. The calculator is for planning; it is not a property-specific offer.

Ohio estate rules
Can an inherited house be sold before probate is finished? Usually, yes. If the will gives the executor power to sell, the appointed executor can sign without a court order to sell (Ohio Rev. Code § 2113.39).
If the will does not give that power, another route may avoid a court-supervised sale. Unless the will forbids it, the surviving spouse and all beneficiaries named in the will—or all heirs if there is no will—can give written consent. The consents are filed with the probate court, and the sale price must be at least 80% of the house’s appraised value in the approved inventory (Ohio Rev. Code § 2127.011). This option is not available if the surviving spouse, any beneficiary, or any heir is under 18.
If a parent recorded an Ohio transfer-on-death designation, the house may pass outside probate. The beneficiary records an affidavit and can sell as an owner under Ohio Rev. Code §§ 5302.22 and 5302.222.
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.

Questions about selling an inherited house in Ohio
Can I sell an inherited house in Ohio before probate is finished?
Usually, yes. If the will gives the executor power to sell, the appointed executor can sign without a court order to sell. If it does not, Ohio law may allow an alternative unless the will forbids it: the surviving spouse and all beneficiaries named in the will—or all heirs if there is no will—give written consent, file those consents with the probate court, and sell for at least 80% of the house’s appraised value in the approved inventory. This consent option is not available if the surviving spouse, a beneficiary, or an heir is under 18. Ohio Rev. Code §§ 2113.39 and 2127.011.
Does an inherited house have to be put in my name before it is sold?
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.
Can a transfer-on-death designation keep a house out of probate?
A recorded Ohio transfer-on-death designation may let the house pass outside probate. The beneficiary records the required affidavit and can sell as an owner under Ohio Rev. Code §§ 5302.22 and 5302.222. We can coordinate with the title company on the documents needed for the sale.
Do I have to clean out or repair the inherited house first?
Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We can discuss the contents and access in the written terms before you decide.
Can I sell from another state without attending settlement?
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.
