Inherited House sales — what to expect
How inherited house sales work with us.
Inheriting a house can be both a gift and a burden. Distance, deferred maintenance, sibling coordination, and tax questions all add complexity to a time when you're already grieving. We make the sale part simple — one cash offer, remote signing, full clean-out, close on your schedule.
Many inherited California homes haven't been updated in 20+ years. Roof, HVAC, plumbing, paint — the cost to make it 'sale ready' through traditional listing can run $30k-$80k. We buy as-is, no repairs, no inspections, no surprises.
What we handle
Common inherited house complications — solved.
We've worked through these scenarios many times before.
Out-of-state heirs
You don't need to come to California. Documents are signed remotely with mobile notary or eNotary services.
Estate full of belongings
Take what's meaningful. Leave the rest. We handle clean-out and donate items locally — furniture, appliances, even cars.
Multiple siblings
We coordinate one offer that everyone reviews. The executor (or all heirs together) signs. Equity splits per the executor's instructions to title.
Older home with deferred maintenance
Inherited homes often have 20-30 years of deferred maintenance. Roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical — none of it stops us. We buy as-is.
Tax basis advice
We coordinate with your CPA on stepped-up basis valuation at date of death. You receive proper closing documentation for your tax return.
Sentimental items + speed
Need a few weeks to sort through belongings? We work with your timeline — 30, 60, even 90 days post-offer.
