What we do
Sell the house without clearing it first
An inherited house can keep bringing bills for property taxes, utilities, insurance, and upkeep while you decide what to do. We buy the property as it is, so you do not need to repair, clean, or clear it to sell to us. You can tell us which belongings you want to keep, and we can talk through the contents and access when we discuss the house.
The house does not have to be empty for you to ask about a sale. We will discuss the property and the written terms with you before you decide.
What happens next
Talk through the house, review the terms, then choose
Review the written offer
We give you a written offer and the sale terms before you commit. You can compare them with your other choices and decide what works for you.
Close through a title company
If you choose to proceed, a title company handles closing and confirms the documents and signing arrangements for the sale.
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.
What you may keep
Compare what is left after the costs
The offer or sale price is not necessarily the amount you keep. Compare costs and amounts due for your house, including repairs or cleanout if you list, carrying costs while you wait, a mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes.
Use the calculator to compare a listing with an as-is sale using assumptions you can change.

Who may sign for the estate?
Mississippi estate administration proceeds through Chancery Court. An executor may sell estate real property before the estate closes when the will grants authority to sell or the Chancery Court orders the sale. A family member or heir cannot sign for the estate merely by being an heir; the will, appointment, court order, and title determine who may convey.
Mississippi has no state real-estate transfer tax. Deeds are subject to recording fees, not a state transfer tax. The county Chancery Clerk applies the statutory fee schedule and any other recording charge.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
