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 decide what the family wants to keep. We can talk through what remains in the house before you review written terms; you do not have to sort or clear the contents just to ask about a sale.
While the estate owns the house, property taxes, insurance, utilities, and upkeep can keep adding up. Selling is one option if it fits the estate’s plans; we do not assume the house was unwanted.
Start with the address, what you know about the house and its contents, and any estate paperwork you have. We talk through the property and what you may want to keep.
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get the written offer and written terms before you commit; closing is through a title company.
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 a written offer with what a listing might leave after repairs, cleanout, monthly bills, and closing costs. Adjust the assumptions for the house and estate.

Often, yes: an inherited Indiana house can be sold before probate is finished. In an estate proceeding without ongoing court supervision, a court-appointed personal representative — the person appointed to handle the estate — can generally sell estate property without a separate sale order, subject to legal restrictions. A will can also give the representative power to sell. If neither route applies, a court order may be needed. Check the appointment, will, deed, and any court restrictions before setting a closing date.
A valid transfer-on-death deed recorded before the owner’s death may pass the house to the named beneficiary outside probate. The recorded deed and title determine whether that route applies.
Indiana law: estate sale authority, personal-representative powers, and transfer-on-death deed law.
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.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate. For a Miami County real-estate or delinquent-tax collection question, contact the Treasurer; the property account and closing records determine the amount for a particular house.
