No probate delays, no cleanout, no agent commissions — just a fair cash offer and a closing that works around your estate timeline.
Share a few quick details
Call, text, or fill out the short form with the property address and where you are in the probate process. We’ll take it from there — no paperwork needed upfront.
We review the property and make an offer
We’ll visit the home as-is and present a no-pressure cash offer, usually within 24 hours. No appraisals, no bank approval, no cleaning required.
We coordinate with your attorney and close
We work directly with your attorney and title company, handle the paperwork, and close on your timeline — helping you avoid foreclosure and move forward with cash in hand.
Inherited houses come with challenges most buyers won’t touch
Selling an inherited house isn’t like a normal sale. There’s probate, multiple heirs, a house full of someone’s belongings, and often repairs nobody wants to fund. We handle all of it so the estate can close.
- Probate coordination — We work directly with your probate attorney and close on the court’s timeline. No surprises, no delays from our side.
- Multiple heirs on title — Siblings can’t agree on price or repairs? One clean cash offer eliminates the deadlock. Proceeds split at closing.
- Houses full of belongings — Take what has sentimental value and leave the rest. Furniture, clothes, garage full of tools — we handle the entire cleanout.
- Out-of-state heirs — Most of our inherited-house sellers don’t live in Illinois. We handle walkthroughs, title, and cleanout locally. Sign remotely with a mobile notary.
- No repairs, no inspections — Old roof, outdated kitchen, code issues — we buy in any condition. The estate doesn’t need to fund a single repair.
Questions heirs ask about selling an inherited house
Clear answers so you can make the right decision for the estate.
Where are you in the inheritance process?
Every estate is different. Wherever you are, we can work with you and your attorney to keep things moving.
Just inherited — probate not started
You’re named in the will or intestate succession but probate hasn’t been filed yet. We can lock in a price now and close as soon as the court appoints an executor.
- No paperwork needed upfront
- We wait for court approval to close
Probate is active
The executor has letters of office and the estate is being administered. We coordinate directly with your probate attorney and close within the court’s timeline.
- We work with your attorney directly
- Close as soon as court authorizes
Probate is closed — you own it outright
The house is in your name (or jointly with siblings) and you’re ready to sell. We can close in as little as 7–14 days with no agent and no open houses.
- Fastest path — 7 to 14 day close
- No showings, no listing needed
Cash buyer vs. real estate agent vs. FSBO for an inherited house
Not sure which path makes sense for the estate? Here’s how the three most common options compare for an inherited Illinois house.
| Easy Exit (Cash Buyer) | Real Estate Agent | Sell FSBO | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Speed to sell | As little as 7 days | 30–90+ days | 60–120+ days typical |
| Certainty of closing | High — cash, no fall-through | Medium — financing can collapse | Low — buyer financing can fall through |
| Repairs needed | None — sell completely as-is | Often required to list | None — but sells at steep discount |
| Fees & commissions | $0 | 5–6% + closing costs | None — but you handle everything yourself |
| Attorney/probate coordination | We work with your probate attorney | They may help — extra cost | You coordinate it yourself |
| Showings & cleanup | None — leave everything | Multiple showings required | You host open houses and showings |
| Best for | Inherited homes, probate, as-is condition, multiple heirs | Good condition, flexible timeline | Simple estate, good-condition home, flexible timeline |
