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. We can talk through which belongings the family wants to keep and what can stay with the house.

While the estate is being settled, a mortgage, utilities, insurance, property taxes, and upkeep can keep adding to the cost of holding the house.

What happens next

We talk through the house, its contents, and the estate situation. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.

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 would keep

Compare a possible as-is sale with a listing using the home-sale net proceeds calculator. Adjust the assumptions to fit the inherited house.

Mississippi estate rules and deed costs

The executor may sell the house before the estate closes if the will gives authority to sell or the chancery court orders the sale. Being an heir alone does not let you sign for the estate. The will, appointment, any court order, and title show who may convey. Read Mississippi’s estate and sale-of-land statutes.

Mississippi has no state real-estate transfer tax; deeds are subject to recording fees. Pearl River County’s Chancery Clerk applies the statutory fee schedule and any other recording charge. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate. See the county’s land recording fees and the Mississippi Department of Revenue’s tax laws and regulations.
