Help with an inherited or probate home
Dealing With an Inherited House in the Bay Area?
Losing a parent or grandparent is hard enough. If the property has become another weight to carry, we can buy it as-is for cash, work patiently with everyone involved, and close when the estate is ready.
When a house is the last thing you want to deal with
You may be grieving, living out of the area, or trying to manage bills and decades of belongings with other heirs. The house can feel like a second job when you already have enough to carry. We have handled these situations before, and we'll make the property as simple as we can for you.
You can leave the repairs and cleanout to us. We buy with our own funds in the home's current condition, and you take what matters and leave the rest. Tell us your preferred closing date, and we close at a reputable local title company when the estate and title are ready.
You do not have to decide today. If you want someone to explain your options, call us. A real person will listen and tell you what we can and cannot do.
Does this sound like your situation?
Tell us what you are handling with the house
Your inherited house has its own history and complications. We work through the situations below, and you can still ask us for a cash offer if yours looks different.
Multiple siblings or heirs
If several heirs need to agree on a price and plan, one written cash offer gives everyone the same number to discuss.
A house full of belongings
Decades of furniture, papers, and keepsakes. You don't have to empty it. Take what's meaningful and leave the rest for us to clear out.
Deferred maintenance
An older home that needs a roof, plumbing, or a full update. We buy it in its current condition with no repairs and no clean-up on your end.
Ongoing carrying costs
Property taxes, insurance, utilities, and upkeep can add up every month on an empty house. A faster sale can stop those costs from piling up.
The estate is in probate
The sale may need to go through probate first. We're comfortable working alongside the estate's attorney and the court's timeline.
Not sure where your situation fits? Call or text (408) 314-4420 and walk us through it, or read more about selling a house as-is.
What we handle for you
We take the property work off your plate
When you sell to us, we handle the house from your first call through closing. Tell us the timing you need, and keep the belongings that matter to you.
Buy it as-is
Leave the repairs, staging, and cleaning to us. We look at the home as it sits today and make a fair cash offer based on its condition.
Leave the belongings
Keep the photos and the heirlooms that matter. Everything else can stay. We handle the cleanout after closing so you don't have to.
Coordinate with everyone
We keep each heir and the estate's attorney informed without pressuring anyone.
Flexible timeline
We can close in as few as 7 days when the estate and title are ready, or give you weeks to sort things out. Tell us the date you need, and we'll work around probate if it applies.
One clean cash number
Our offer includes no commissions or listing fees. The title company will show the estate's final proceeds after any liens, taxes, or other obligations.
Local and accountable
Before you trust us with a family home, you can verify who we are. We have a named local team, public seller reviews, and a Fremont office.
If probate or taxes are part of your situation
If the house is in probate, the court may need to confirm who has the legal authority to sell it before you can close. The steps and timing depend on how the estate was set up, whether there was a living trust, and whether all the heirs agree.
We're not a brokerage, and we cannot give legal or tax advice. We can buy the house once the estate is ready to sell and work with the attorney handling probate so your closing follows the court's process. We've closed sales this way before, and we'll move at the estate's pace.
Before you decide, please ask a probate attorney about authority to sell and a CPA or tax professional about capital gains or step-up-in-basis questions. The answers depend on your situation, and the right professional may save the estate money. When the legal side is ready, we'll be ready to buy.
