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 what you want and leave the remaining contents with the house.
While the estate owns the house, bills for utilities, insurance, upkeep, property taxes, and any mortgage payment can continue. Selling can end those ongoing carrying costs after closing.
What happens next
- Talk with us about the Raymore house, its condition, the belongings, and what you know about the estate.
- You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
- If you choose to sell, we work toward closing with the title company. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
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.
No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
Compare what you may keep
Compare a written offer with what a listing might leave after repairs, commissions, carrying costs, and closing costs. A mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes can also affect what remains from the sale.

Who can sign for the estate?
The probate court appoints a personal representative — the person who handles the estate. That representative, not an heir acting alone, sells estate property. In independent administration, the representative generally can sell without a separate court order, within the will's limits and for the estate's benefit. See Missouri Revised Statutes § 473.783 and § 473.810.
In supervised administration, a sale generally follows a court order. The representative petitions to sell, heirs and devisees receive notice, and the representative reports the sale for court approval; interested people may object before approval. A will may also give the executor power to sell. See § 473.460, § 473.493, § 473.513, and § 473.457.
A mortgage, lien, or estate claim still has to be paid or released for the buyer to receive clear title.

The title company or closing professional confirms the exact recording charges.

Questions about selling an inherited house in Raymore
Can an inherited house be sold before probate is finished?
The probate court appoints a personal representative to sell for the estate; an heir acting alone does not sign for it. In independent administration, the representative generally may sell without a separate court order, within the will's limits and for the estate's benefit. In supervised administration, a sale generally follows a court order. A will may also give the executor power to sell.
Do I have to put the house in my name before selling it?
You can sell in the estate's name once the estate is opened — no need to put the house in your own name first. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.
Do I need to clear out or repair the inherited house?
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 and leave the rest with the house.
What happens to a mortgage or lien on the house?
A mortgage, lien, or estate claim does not disappear when the owner dies. It must be paid or released for the buyer to receive clear title, and it can affect what remains from the sale.
What transfer taxes and deed-recording fees apply in Missouri?
Missouri's constitution bars state and local governments from imposing new taxes on real-estate sales or transfers after December 2, 2010. County deed-recording fees still apply: $5 for the first page and $3 for each additional page, plus per-document fees set by state law. The title company or closing professional confirms the exact recording charges.
Can I sign if I live outside Missouri?
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.
How soon can closing happen?
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
