What we do with the house and its contents
We buy houses as-is in Stillwater and Payne County, Oklahoma. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us.
Sell an inherited house without cleanout, repairs, or hauling away a lifetime of belongings — we take it as it is. You can tell us what the estate wants to keep, and we can discuss what remains in the house and any access details before the written terms are agreed.
While an estate is being settled, carrying costs like property taxes, utilities, insurance, and upkeep can keep adding up.

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

Yes, you can sell before the estate is closed. If the will directs or authorizes the executor to sell, Oklahoma law permits the sale without first getting an order authorizing it. The sale generally must still be returned to and confirmed by the probate court before title passes, except for a specific statutory exception. If the will does not authorize the sale, an executor or administrator generally must apply to the district court for an order to sell estate realty, with notice to interested persons. Once we’ve seen the will and court papers, we can talk through a closing date with you.
Oklahoma calls its deed-transfer tax the documentary stamp tax. It applies to a deed conveying sold realty when consideration or value exceeds $100. The rate is 75 cents for each $500 or fraction of consideration, excluding the value of liens or encumbrances that remain on the property at the time of sale. The sales contract can say who pays the tax. The closing agent will confirm the amount and any specific exemption on the settlement statement.
Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from closing costs.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Oklahoma documentary stamp tax.
