Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about how to deal with an inherited house and the complicated process of probate? We have you covered! Here is a quick collection of some of the questions people ask us, along with our answers.
If you still have a question, don’t hesitate to contact us anytime. We would be happy to answer it for you.
Q: Will you be listing my house on the MLS or actually buying it?
A: Great question! If we make you an offer to buy your House, We’re actually the buyers. We are professional home buyers and we purchase inherited properties quickly and for cash. From there we may repair the house and resell it to another homeowner or keep it as a rental ourselves.
Q: What if I want to list the property instead of taking your cash offer?
A: If you decide the cash offer isn’t a fit and would like to discuss listing the property the traditional way. We HAND PICK a SMALL network of agents throughout that country that are experts in the Probate process. We usually only work with 1-2 agents per market depending on the size of the market. We would connect you directly with that agent in your market. We’re not selling your information to one of those agent lead services that’s going to blow up your phone with 15 phone calls within seconds.
Q: How do you determine the price to offer on my house?
A: Our process is very straightforward. We look at the location of the property, what repairs are needed, the current condition of the property, and the value of comparable houses sold in the area. Taking all of this information into consideration, we come up with what we hope you will consider a fair price!
Q: Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A: We are looking to get a fair discount on a property, and many of the houses we purchase are below market value. We’re not a charity so we do need to make a profit. We do this so we can resell it at a profit to another homeowner. In our experience, many sellers aren’t necessarily expecting a large “windfall” on the property. Instead, they appreciate that we can offer cash, we can close very quickly, and – in the case of probate – we can help you through the court system, and no time, effort, or expense is required on your part to fix up the property or pay agent fees.
If that’s what you’re looking for and you see the value in getting your house sold fast, let’s see if we can come to a win-win price for both parties. Our no-obligation pricing commitment means that you don’t have to move forward with the offer we give, but it’s good to know what we’re offering!

Q: Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A: There are NO fees or commissions when you sell your house directly to us. We’ll make you an offer and, if it’s a fit, then we’ll buy your house with no hassles and no fees. We’ll often pay for the closing costs, too! We make our money after we pay for repairs on the house and sell it for a profit. Once we buy the property from you, the responsibility is ours and you walk away with cash and without the burden of the property and its payments.
Q: How are you different from a real estate agent?
A: Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. The agent shows the properties to prospective buyers, and then takes a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. Oftentimes, the agent’s commission is 3 to 6% of the sale price of your house. This means if it’s a $100,000 house, you’ll pay between $3,000 to $6,000 in commissions to an agent.
Agents provide a great service for those that can wait months to sell but most agents have zero experience with the process of probate. But that’s where we’re different. We’re not agents, we’re home buyers, and we are the leading experts on inherited properties and the probate process. Let us help you navigate this often-confusing process and buy the house directly from you. Since we pay with all cash and purchase the house from you, we can make a decision to buy your house within a couple of days (sometimes even the same day). Again, we make our living by taking the risk to buy the house with our own cash, repair the house, and market it ourselves to find a buyer.
Q: Is there any obligation when I submit my information?
A: There is absolutely zero obligation for you. Once you tell us a bit about your property, we’ll take a look at things and set up a call with you to find out a bit more. For homes that qualify, we will make you an all-cash offer that we hope is fair for you and fair for us, too. From there, it’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to sell your house to us. We want you to decide what’s right for you.
