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. We can agree on what stays with the house before you commit, and you do not have to clear it out before asking about a sale.
Property taxes, insurance, utilities, upkeep, and mortgage payments can continue while the estate holds the house. Those are carrying costs we can discuss when you ask us to buy it.
What happens next
- Tell us the property address, what you know about its condition and contents, and where things stand with the estate.
- We talk through the house and your questions, then give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
- You receive the written offer and terms before you decide; if you proceed, closing takes place through a title company.
- 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.
What the seller keeps
Compare the written offer with what you might keep after your own estimates for a listing, repairs, mortgage payoff, taxes, and carrying costs. The calculator lets you edit the assumptions; it is an estimate, not an offer or settlement statement.
No agent commissions when you sell to us.

Often, an inherited New York house can be sold before the estate is finished. An executor or administrator appointed by Surrogate’s Court can generally sell estate property during administration, subject to the will and court restrictions. Being named executor in a will is not the same as having the court’s appointment.
A house the will leaves to a specific person is outside that general sale power, so the sale usually needs that person’s agreement or a court order. Some court papers also bar selling real estate without the court’s approval. A release of the New York State estate-tax lien is generally needed to close.
Some houses pass outside probate through a valid transfer-on-death deed. The deed and estate papers determine who can sign for the sale.
New York State real estate transfer tax is $2 for each $500 of the sale price, or part of $500, when the price exceeds $500. The seller normally pays this base tax, but the sale agreement can provide otherwise. Local transfer taxes may add to it. A separate 1% mansion tax applies to residential sales of $1 million or more and is normally paid by the buyer.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New York State real estate transfer tax and any applicable local real estate transfer taxes.
Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes are separate from the closing costs we pay. The actual amounts and allocations depend on the sale file.

Questions about selling an inherited house in Warsaw, NY
Can an executor sell an inherited New York house before the estate is finished?
Often, yes. An executor or administrator appointed by Surrogate’s Court can generally sell estate property during administration, subject to the will and court restrictions. A house the will leaves to a specific person is outside that general sale power, so the sale usually needs that person’s agreement or a court order. Some court papers also bar selling real estate without court approval. The appointment, will, deed, and court papers determine the route for the property.
Does being named executor in a will let me sign?
Not by itself. Being named executor in a will is not the same as having the court’s appointment. The Surrogate’s Court appointment and estate papers, deed, and any court restrictions determine who can sign for the property.
Do I need to put the house in my own name before selling it?
You can sell in the estate's name once the estate is opened — no need to put the house in your own name first. If you need an estate attorney, we can help you find one.
Can a house pass outside probate in New York?
Some New York houses pass outside probate through a valid transfer-on-death deed. The deed and estate papers determine who can sign for the sale.
