You don't have to fix it, clean it, or empty it

Inherited homes are frequently decades behind on updates and full of a lifetime of belongings. You don't need to renovate, stage, or even clear it out. We buy the property exactly as it stands — take whatever you want, leave the rest, and we handle the cleanout.

That matters most when heirs live out of state or out of the country. There's no need to fly in for repairs or open houses; the entire sale can be handled remotely with a local attorney.

How probate affects selling in New York

If the estate hasn't cleared probate yet, the house usually can't be sold until the Surrogate's Court in Queens appoints an executor or administrator. In New York that process can take a few months, though a will with a named executor moves faster than an estate without one.

We work alongside your estate attorney and can have a cash offer and contract ready to sign the moment the executor has authority to sell — so there's no delay once the court clears the way. If you don't have an attorney, we can point you to Queens probate attorneys who handle these regularly.

Splitting the proceeds among heirs

When several siblings or relatives inherit one house, a fast, clean cash sale is often the fairest outcome — everyone gets a defined dollar amount instead of arguing over repairs, listing price, or who manages the property. Because our offer is all-cash with no financing contingency, the number you agree to is the number that gets split at closing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sell an inherited house in Queens before probate is finished?

Usually the sale can be signed and negotiated during probate, but it can't close until the court appoints an executor or administrator with authority to transfer title. We prepare everything in advance so closing happens the moment that authority is granted.

Will I owe taxes on an inherited house I sell?

Inherited property generally receives a 'stepped-up basis' to its value on the date of death, so capital-gains tax is often minimal if you sell soon after. Confirm your specific situation with a tax professional — we're not tax advisors.

What if the house is full of belongings?

Leave whatever you don't want. We buy the property as-is and handle the cleanout after closing at no cost to you.
