How do I sell a house I inherited?
To sell an inherited house you need legal authority to sign — usually as the executor or personal representative appointed by the probate court, or as the heirs on the deed. Once that is in place, you can sell the house as-is to Southern Home Offers without repairs or a clean-out.
Why this kind of house is hard to sell the usual way
Inherited houses are often dated, full of belongings and sitting vacant, which makes them hard to list and costly to hold.
Several heirs may need to agree, some may live out of state, and the estate keeps paying taxes, insurance and utilities every month it waits.
How we buy it
- We work with the executor, the heirs and the estate attorney — and can wait for the court where needed.
- Out-of-town heirs can usually sign remotely through the title company.
- One offer, one price, split however the estate directs.
How it affects your offer
Inherited houses are priced like any other: the after-repair value, minus updates, clean-out and the costs to resell. Your share is paid at closing through the title company or attorney. See exactly how we calculate an offer.
