Inheriting a house sounds like a blessing, but it often arrives as a burden: property taxes, insurance, yard work, an aging roof — sometimes in a city you don't even live in. Meanwhile every month the house sits empty, it costs money and invites problems. If you'd rather have the value of the home without the responsibility of it, that's exactly what we do.
Why heirs choose a direct cash sale
- Sell as-is — outdated kitchens, deferred maintenance, even fire or water damage. We've bought it all.
- Full cleanout included — take the keepsakes, leave everything else, down to the furniture.
- Long-distance friendly — we can handle nearly everything remotely, including mobile-notary closings.
- Fast and fair split — multiple heirs? A clean cash sale makes dividing the proceeds simple.
What about taxes?
Good news: inherited property generally gets a 'stepped-up basis,' which means most heirs owe little or no capital gains tax when selling near current market value — but confirm the details with a tax professional for your situation. We're happy to walk you through the typical numbers before you decide anything.
No pressure, ever. Our offer is free and comes with zero obligation. Even if we're not the right fit, we'll point you in the right direction.

Questions sellers ask
How do I sell an inherited house?
First, someone needs the legal authority to sell, which usually means probate or a court order that lets the heirs sell directly. Once that’s in place, you can list the house or sell it directly for cash. If you’re not sure where you stand, send us the address and we’ll tell you what we see.
Do I have to pay taxes when I sell an inherited house?
Inherited property generally gets a stepped-up basis, so heirs who sell near the home’s value at the time of death often owe little or no capital gains tax. Every situation is different, so confirm the details with a tax professional.
Can I sell an inherited house that needs repairs?
Yes. We buy inherited houses as-is, including outdated homes, deferred maintenance, and houses still full of belongings. Take the keepsakes and leave the rest; we handle the cleanout.
Can I sell an inherited house if I live out of state?
Yes. We can handle most of the process remotely, and closings can often be signed with a mobile notary near you. You don’t need to travel to sell.
What if the inherited house is still in my parent’s name?
That’s common, and it usually means probate or another legal step is needed before the house can be sold with clean title. A probate attorney can tell you which path fits your family. Tell us the situation, and we’ll take an honest look at the house and what a sale could look like.
