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 the belongings your family wants; the remaining items can stay in the house. We’ll talk through what stays and include it in the written terms.
Utilities, insurance, property taxes, upkeep, and any mortgage payment can continue while the estate owns the house.
What happens next
Tell us about the house, its condition and contents, where the estate process stands, and the timing you have in mind. You can call while you’re sorting out the estate papers.
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs.
Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
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.

In an unsupervised Indiana estate, a court-appointed personal representative—the person appointed to handle the estate—can generally sell estate property without a separate sale order. A will can also give the representative power to sell. If neither route applies, a court order may be needed. These rules appear in Indiana Code §§ 29-1-7.5-2(d) and 29-1-7.5-3(a)(25) and Indiana Code §§ 29-1-15-2 and -3. The appointment, will, deed, and any court restrictions can affect who signs and what the sale needs. Not sure? Call us — we’ll sort it out with you.
A valid transfer-on-death deed recorded before the owner’s death may pass the house to the named beneficiary outside probate. See Indiana Code § 32-17-14-11.
