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 belongings the family wants. Tell us what should stay with you; the rest can stay in the house.

Until the house sells, bills can continue for property taxes, utilities, insurance, upkeep, and any mortgage payment.

What happens next

We start with a conversation about the house, its condition, what the family wants to keep, and what you know about the estate.

We give written cash offers in 24 hours.

You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.

No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.

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.

The home value starts with Zillow’s typical value for the area. Your house may be worth more or less. You can change the value and every cost below. Adjust anything you know, including your payoff, repair or credit risk, cleanout cost, agent commission, and how long you expect to carry the property.

Ohio estate rules and conveyance fee

Who can sign?

An appointed executor can sign to sell without a court order if the will gives the executor that power under Ohio Rev. Code §2113.39.

If the will does not give that power, another route may be available 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 and file it with probate court. The sale price must be at least 80% of the house's appraised value in the approved inventory. This option is unavailable if the surviving spouse or any beneficiary or heir is under 18 under Ohio Rev. Code §2127.011.

If the owner recorded a transfer-on-death designation, the house may pass outside probate. The beneficiary records an affidavit and can sell it like any owner under Ohio Rev. Code §5302.22 and §5302.222.

Ohio conveyance fee

Ohio charges a conveyance fee of $1 per $1,000 of the sale price, plus up to $3 per $1,000 the county can add under Ohio Rev. Code §319.54 and §322.02. The Fairfield County Auditor can answer county conveyance questions.
