Sell an inherited house
without the headache.
You didn’t ask for a second house — with its taxes, insurance, and a lifetime of someone else’s belongings. We buy inherited homes as-is for cash, during or after probate, and handle the cleanout ourselves.
Inherited-house sellers ask us
Can I sell an inherited house during probate in Florida?
Yes. We buy inherited homes and work around probate timelines — we can agree on a price now and close once the personal representative has court authority to sell. You don't need to clean anything out in the meantime.
What if probate hasn't been filed yet?
That's common, and it's not a blocker. We can make you an offer now so you know your number, then close once probate is opened and authority to sell is established. We'll also point you toward the Broward Clerk of Courts probate resources to get started.
What if there was no will?
Florida's intestacy laws decide who inherits when there's no will — usually the closest relatives. The court still appoints someone to handle the estate, and that person can sell the house once they have authority. It takes longer than a will-based probate, but the sale itself works the same way.
What if my siblings and I disagree about selling?
Everyone with an ownership interest generally needs to agree to the sale. We're happy to talk through the numbers with all the heirs together — sometimes hearing the same math settles it. If you truly can't agree, that's a family decision no buyer can make for you.
Do I have to clean out the inherited house?
No. Take what matters to you — photos, documents, heirlooms, anything sentimental — and leave the rest. We handle the full cleanout ourselves after closing: donation, disposal, all of it.
What if the inherited house has a mortgage, liens, or back taxes?
The title company pays those off from the sale proceeds at closing — mortgage, tax liens, HOA arrears, code fines. You don't pay anything out of pocket; you receive whatever is left after the debts are settled.
How long does it take to sell an inherited house?
The sale itself can close in 7–21 days once authority to sell is established. The variable is probate: straightforward cases move in weeks, complicated ones take months. We'll work on your probate timeline, not ours.
Is selling an inherited house for cash legitimate?
Legitimate cash buyers provide proof of funds, close at a licensed title company, and never pressure you. We disclose up front — in writing, before you sign — that we're a real estate investment buyer and may assign the contract. And we're buyers, not lawyers: for probate questions, we'll always point you to a probate attorney.
“Take what matters to you — photos, documents, heirlooms, anything sentimental — and leave the rest.”
What has to happen before the house can sell
We're buyers, not lawyers — and for probate questions you should talk to a probate attorney. But here's the general picture in Florida, so you know where you stand.
Someone needs authority to sell
In Florida, a house can't be sold until the court gives someone authority — usually the personal representative named in the will, or someone the court appoints. We can agree on a price with you now and close once that authority is in place.
With a will vs. without one
A will names who handles the estate and usually speeds things up. Without a will, Florida's intestacy laws decide who inherits — typically the closest relatives — and the court appoints someone to manage it. Either way, the sale works the same once authority exists.
Smaller estates can move faster
Florida allows a simplified process called summary administration for smaller estates, which can wrap up much quicker than full formal probate. A probate attorney can tell you in one consultation which path your estate qualifies for.
Out-of-state heirs are normal
Many inherited-house sellers don't live in Florida. Everything — the offer, the contract, the closing — can be handled remotely, and we'll coordinate with every heir so nobody has to fly in.
We’ll work on your probate timeline, not ours. Whether authority takes weeks or months to sort out, the number is good whenever you’re ready to move.
What to do with a lifetime of belongings
Take what matters
Photos, documents, heirlooms, anything sentimental — take your time with those. If you need a few extra weeks before closing to go through things, we'll build that into the timeline.
Leave everything else
The furniture, the garage full of tools, the attic full of boxes — leave it all. After closing, we handle the entire cleanout: donation, disposal, everything. You never lift a finger.
When heirs disagree
Everyone with an ownership interest generally needs to agree to sell. We're happy to walk every heir through the same numbers together — an honest offer on the table settles more family debates than you'd expect.
Debts on the house
Mortgage, back taxes, HOA arrears, code fines — the title company pays them from the sale proceeds at closing. You don't pay anything out of pocket, and you keep whatever is left.
If any of this sounds familiar, we can help
Probate is already stressful enough. Our job is to make the house part simple.
We'll make an offer now and time the closing to the court's schedule — weeks or months out, your call.
Common and not a blocker. Know your number now, file when you're ready, close when authority is set.
Decades of accumulation? Take the keepsakes, leave the rest. Full cleanout is included.
Sell a Broward County house from anywhere. Remote signing, remote closing, one point of contact.
Unpaid taxes, HOA arrears, code fines — settled from the proceeds at closing, nothing out of pocket.
Deferred maintenance, storm damage, outdated everything — we buy as-is and handle the repairs ourselves.

Talk to a probate attorney
We're serious about this one: we're cash buyers, not lawyers. A single consultation with a Florida probate attorney will tell you which probate path applies, what it'll cost, and how long it takes. Many offer free first calls.
The part other cash buyers don't put on their site
When you sell to us, you're selling directly to a real estate investment buyer — not listing through a brokerage. Our founder is a licensed Florida real estate agent, but in this deal we're the buyer, not your agent. We're not acting as your representative or in a fiduciary role for you: we're purchasing for our own account, and we intend to profit by improving, reselling, or assigning the property. You are always free to hire your own real estate agent or attorney, and we encourage you to compare our offer against a traditional listing before signing anything.
Know what the house is worth — then decide on your timeline
One conversation, no pressure, no obligation. Probate moves at its own pace; your offer doesn't have to wait for it.
