We buy the house and handle the contents
Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is.
Keep the belongings your family wants. Remaining contents can stay in the house.
Utilities, insurance, property taxes, upkeep, and any mortgage can keep adding to the house’s carrying costs while the estate owns it.
What happens next
1. Talk through the house
Tell us the address, the house’s condition, what you want to keep, and what you know about the estate.
2. Review the written offer
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
3. Choose a closing time
No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. 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.

Who can sign for the estate?
The court-appointed personal representative handles the estate sale; an heir does not sign for the estate alone. In independent administration, the representative generally can act without a separate court order and sell estate real estate within the will’s limits and for the estate’s benefit. Read Missouri’s independent-administration rule and personal representative powers.
In supervised administration, the representative generally asks the probate court for an order before selling. The court process includes notice to heirs and devisees, a report after the sale, and court approval; interested people may object before approval. See the rules for a court-ordered sale, a petition to sell real estate, and the report of sale. If the will gives the executor power to sell, the executor may use that power under the state’s rule for a sale under a will.
Missouri transfer taxes and deed-recording fees
Missouri’s Constitution bars the state and local governments from imposing new taxes on the sale or transfer of real estate after December 2, 2010. A recorded deed still has state-law charges: $5 for the first page and $3 for each additional page, plus per-document fees. The title company or closing professional confirms the exact recording charges. Read the Missouri Constitution, Article X, Section 25, and state laws on deed-recording fees, recorder user fees, and additional recording fees.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.

Questions about selling an inherited house
Inherited-property questions in O'Fallon, MO
Can a personal representative sell the house before probate is finished?
The court-appointed personal representative—not an heir acting alone—handles the estate sale. In independent administration, the representative generally can sell estate real estate without a separate court order, within the will’s limits and for the estate’s benefit. In supervised administration, the representative generally needs a court order: the court process includes notice to heirs and devisees, a report after the sale, and a chance for interested people to object before approval. A will may also give the executor power to sell. The exact authority comes from the estate’s appointment and will.
Do I have to put the inherited house in my own name first?
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.
Do I need to clean out or repair the inherited house?
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 your family wants; remaining contents can stay in the house.
What happens to the mortgage, liens, or estate claims?
A mortgage, lien, or estate claim still needs to be paid or released so the buyer can get clear title. Those amounts are addressed through the sale and closing.
