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 do not have to clean the house or make repairs to sell to us.
If there are belongings your family wants to keep, tell us while we discuss the property and written terms. We do not assume you want to leave everything behind.
While a house remains in the family, carrying costs can include utilities, insurance, maintenance, and property taxes. Compare those ongoing bills with the sale options that fit your situation.
What happens next
- Tell us the address and what you know about the house, its contents, and the estate. You can call or use the form above.
- We talk through the property details and give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
- You review the offer and written terms before deciding. Closing is through a title company.
Written offer and written terms before you commit; title-company closing.
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 Indiana unsupervised estate, a court-appointed personal representative can generally sell estate property without a separate sale order, subject to statutory limits. A will can also give the representative power to sell. If neither route applies, a court order may be needed. Check the appointment, will, deed, and any court restrictions before setting a closing date.
A valid transfer-on-death deed recorded before the owner's death may pass the house to the named beneficiary outside probate. The deed and title record determine whether that route applies to a particular property.
We help coordinate the sale, but we do not provide legal advice. The title company or a qualified attorney can confirm who has authority to sign for the estate.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay the seller’s mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes; those remain separate.
