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. If the family wants to keep certain belongings, talk with us about them before you decide.
Until closing, carrying costs can continue: a mortgage, current property taxes, insurance, utilities, and upkeep.
What happens next

Who can sign
Once the estate is open, the court appoints a personal representative and issues letters—the papers showing that person's authority to handle the estate. The representative can generally sell the house during probate, subject to the will, any court restrictions, and estate debts (New Mexico Statutes §§ 45-3-103 and 45-3-715). Read the New Mexico Courts probate guidance and the statute on the personal representative's power to sell.
A house held in joint tenancy with right of survivorship or covered by a valid transfer-on-death deed may pass without probate.
Recording and closing costs
A New Mexico county clerk generally charges $25 to record a document with up to ten index entries, plus $25 for each additional block of up to ten entries under NMSA § 14-8-15. That is a document-recording fee, not a percentage of the sale price. See the New Mexico recording-fee statute.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate amounts settled at closing.
