What we do with the house and its contents
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.
Keep the belongings you want; the rest can stay with the house. Property taxes, utilities, insurance, and upkeep can continue while you hold it, and a mortgage payment may also be due.
What happens next
- 1. Talk through the property. Share the Vincennes address, the house’s condition, what is inside, and what you know about the estate. You can call before you have every estate document in hand.
- 2. Review the written offer. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
- 3. Choose a closing timeline. Close as fast as 7 days when title and closing details allow.
No fees. No agent commissions when you sell to us. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.
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 keep
Compare a written cash offer with a possible listing using your own estimates for repairs, selling costs, and the time the house may carry expenses.
Indiana estate and deed rules
In an unsupervised Indiana estate, the court-appointed personal representative—the person appointed to manage the estate—can generally sell estate property without a separate sale order. A will may also give the representative power to sell. If neither applies, a court order may be needed. See Indiana Code § 29-1-7.5-3(a)(25), subject to § 29-1-7.5-2(d) and §§ 29-1-15-2 and -3.
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.
