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.
You can keep the belongings you want. We can discuss what stays with the house and include it in the written terms. You do not have to clean out or repair the house to sell it to us.
Property taxes, insurance, utilities, upkeep, and mortgage payments can keep adding up while the estate holds the house.
What happens next
Talk through the house
We talk through the Pittsburg address, the house’s condition, what is still inside, and what you know about the estate papers you have.

Close through a title company
If you choose to sell to us, we close through a title company.
Signing from another location

Who may sell and sign
If the will gives the appointed executor power to sell, the executor can generally sell without a separate court order unless the will says otherwise or a will contest is pending. See K.S.A. 59-1413.
Without that authority, the executor or administrator can ask the district court for an order to sell, with notice unless the court waives it. A court-supervised private sale generally needs an appraisal from the previous six months and a price of at least three-quarters of the appraised value; the court confirms the sale, sometimes in the same order. See K.S.A. 59-2303, 59-2304, 59-2305, 59-2307 and 59-2309. Kansas’s simplified estate procedure reduces court supervision but keeps notice; see K.S.A. 59-1410.
If no estate was opened and no will was filed, heirs can ask the district court to decide who inherited once six months have passed. A surviving spouse may be entitled to the homestead. See K.S.A. 59-2250, K.S.A. 59-3203, 59-3205, 59-6a215 and 59-401.
Kansas transfer tax and recording fees
Kansas does not charge a real estate transfer tax or deed tax. The state’s mortgage registration tax ended January 1, 2019. County recording fees are set by state law at $21 for the first page of a deed or mortgage and $17 for each additional page; the exact amount depends on how many pages are recorded. The title company or closing professional confirms the recording charges. See the repealed mortgage-registration-tax statute, K.S.A. 28-115 and K.S.A. 12-194.
Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
