We buy the house and handle the contents
An inherited house may continue to bring mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, utility bills, and upkeep costs while the estate is being handled. Those carrying costs can add up over time.
Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is. You do not have to clear the house before selling to us. We can discuss what you want to keep, and the written terms can say what remains.
What happens next
1. Talk through the house
Share the Rome address, the house’s condition, what is still inside, and where the estate is in the process.
2. Review the written offer
We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You can review the written offer and terms before you commit.
3. Close through a title company
If you choose to proceed, a title company handles closing and confirms the documents and signatures needed for this property and estate.
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.

Who can sign
A Georgia personal representative may sell estate real property before probate closes when the will grants a power of sale or the probate court authorizes it under O.C.G.A. § 53-8-13. Without authority in the will, the personal representative must ask the probate court for leave to sell. Being an heir or named executor alone is not enough to sign. The will, appointment, court order, and title record determine who may convey the property.
See Georgia Probate Court Standard Form 13, Petition of Personal Representative for Leave to Sell Property for the court petition route.
Georgia real-estate transfer tax
The Georgia Department of Revenue transfer-tax guidance describes a tax based on the sale price: $1 for the first $1,000 or fraction, then $0.10 for each additional $100 or fraction. The seller is legally liable, though the sales contract can assign payment to the buyer. The deed generally cannot be recorded until the tax is paid, and some exemptions may apply.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Georgia real-estate transfer tax.
This does not pay your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
