You stop paying for a house and get a fair price.

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 empty the house before asking us to buy it. We can note any items family members want to keep in the written terms.

Mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, utilities, and ordinary upkeep are carrying costs while the house remains in the estate. We can talk through the house, its contents, access, and timing with you.

What happens next

1. We talk through the Wilmington house, its condition, access, contents, and the estate's signing authority.
2. We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
3. You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company. We review title, payoff, occupancy, and who has authority to sign. 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 you keep after a sale

Compare the written sale terms with the mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, current property-tax share, and other costs to see what may remain. The amount depends on this property and its closing figures; a citywide estimate is not your net.

No agent commissions when you sell to us.

Zillow's typical home value is broad market context, not a price for your address or an amount you will keep: $327,252 (As of September 2026; Zillow typical home value for Wilmington, DE).

Delaware estate rules and transfer taxes

The New Castle County Register of Wills issues letters testamentary when there is a will and letters of administration when there is not. The personal representative cannot act for the estate before those letters are issued. See Delaware’s rules for letters from the Register of Wills.

The personal representative must include the house in the estate inventory. If the will gives the representative a power of sale, the house can be sold under that authority. If the estate's money and other personal property cannot pay its debts, the representative can ask the Court of Chancery to approve a sale before the deed is signed. If neither path applies, the people who inherited the house usually sign the deed together. Read the inventory and possession rules and Delaware sale-authority rules.

For a deed in Wilmington, the combined state and city realty transfer tax rate is 4%: the 2.5% state tax is divided equally between seller and buyer, and the 1.5% Wilmington tax is the seller's responsibility unless the parties agree otherwise. See Delaware’s realty transfer-tax law and the Wilmington City Code.

When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Delaware's state realty transfer tax and Wilmington's real property transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
