Probate & inherited property
Sell an Inherited House As-Is in Dallas–Fort Worth
Sell an inherited house as-is, no repairs or cleanout needed. We work with executors and attorneys on the court’s timeline — serving Dallas, Fort Worth, and the surrounding Metroplex.
Inherited homes often come with years of deferred maintenance, outdated systems, or belongings that need to be cleared out — on top of the emotional weight of losing a family member. Listing traditionally means repairs, showings, and months of waiting while the estate stays open.
We buy inherited houses in whatever condition they’re in. Leave behind whatever you don’t want to deal with. If the property is still in probate, we can often work alongside your attorney or executor to structure the sale around the timeline the court requires.
Do I owe taxes on an inherited house in Texas?
Texas has no state inheritance or estate tax. You may owe federal capital gains tax if you sell, but only on appreciation since the date of death — not on the home’s full value.
Inherited property generally gets a “stepped-up basis” for tax purposes — the home’s value is reset to its fair market value on the date the previous owner passed away, rather than what they originally paid for it decades ago. That usually limits any capital gains tax to appreciation between the date of death and the date you sell, which for a home sold relatively soon after inheriting can be small or nonexistent.
This is general information, not tax advice — every estate is different, so confirm your specific situation with a CPA or estate attorney.
How we help
No repairs or cleanout required
We buy the house and whatever’s left inside it, exactly as it stands.
We work with the estate
Happy to coordinate directly with the executor or the estate’s attorney.
A number, explained clearly
We’ll walk through how we arrived at the offer so every heir understands it.
We’re a direct buyer, not a wholesaler — we purchase with our own funds and never resell your contract to another investor for an assignment fee.
Listing with an agent typically means ~6% in commission plus closing costs coming out of the estate’s proceeds. Our cash offer has zero commissions and zero fees on your end.
Selling During Probate — Questions Homeowners Ask
Do I need to finish probate before I can sell?
Often the property can be marketed or put under contract during probate, with closing timed to when the executor has authority to sell. We can walk through what’s possible in your specific case.
What if there are multiple heirs?
We’re glad to work with all heirs or their representative so everyone is comfortable with the process before anything is signed.
Can I force a sibling to sell an inherited house?
It depends on the will and how the heirs agree to handle the property. If everyone agrees to sell, a co-owner sale is usually straightforward. If one heir wants to keep the house and others want to sell, Texas law allows a partition action, which can force a sale — but it takes time and legal costs. Talking it through together (or with the estate’s attorney) before it gets there is almost always the simpler path.
