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. Keep the belongings your family wants; the rest can stay in the house.

Utilities, insurance, property taxes, upkeep, and any mortgage payment can continue while the estate owns the house. Selling can end those carrying costs after closing.

What happens next

We talk through the house, its condition and contents, your timing, and where the estate process stands. You can call before the appointment papers arrive.

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

Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.

No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.

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 may keep

Compare a direct offer with a possible listing using estimates that fit the house and its carrying costs.

Idaho estate rules and sale costs

Who can sign?

The personal representative — the person appointed to handle the estate, often called the executor in a will — can sign. Idaho gives the representative authority when appointed under Idaho Code § 15-3-701. Unless the will or a court order in a formal case limits that authority, the representative can sell estate land at a public or private sale without a separate court order under Idaho Code § 15-3-715.

Idaho has no state real estate transfer tax. Kootenai County charges $15 to record a deed up to 30 pages. Idaho property-tax bills arrive in November; pay by December 20, or pay half by December 20 and the rest by June 20 of the next year. Idaho state tax laws, Kootenai County recording information, Idaho Code § 31-3205 and the Idaho State Tax Commission property-tax guide explain the fees and payment dates.
