Why heirs and estates call us

Multiple siblings or heirs who agree on one thing: nobody wants to manage a renovation together
Out-of-state heirs who cannot easily fly in for showings, repairs, or closing appointments
A house sitting vacant, which brings its own risks — break-ins, insurance lapses, code violations
Years of belongings left behind that nobody has the time or heart to sort through
Back taxes or a reverse mortgage balance that surprised the family after the funeral — see selling a house with back taxes

We are not attorneys and this is not legal advice — every estate is different, and we always recommend confirming your authority to sell with the estate's attorney. But we can often make an offer and move toward closing in parallel with probate, so the sale is ready the moment the court signs off, instead of waiting to even start.

Does the house have to finish probate before I can sell?

Not always. Florida offers a faster "summary administration" for smaller or older estates (generally under $75,000 in non-exempt assets, or when the person passed more than two years ago), while larger or more complicated estates go through "formal administration" with a personal representative appointed by the court. Which path applies to your situation — and whether a sale agreement can be signed before it's finished — depends on the specific estate, which is one more reason to loop in the estate's attorney early. We can often have a cash offer in hand while that process plays out, so you are not starting from zero once it wraps up.

What we do not ask you to do

No repairs, no roof, no permits, no contractor quotes
No cleaning out — leave everything, take only what you want
No agent commissions and no listing fees
No showings, open houses, or strangers walking through
No waiting on a buyer's mortgage approval or appraisal

If a cash sale is not actually the estate's best option, we will tell you that. Sometimes listing with an agent nets more once probate closes, and the family deserves to know before deciding.

Areas we buy in

We are based in Tampa and we buy across Florida — Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, Polk, Manatee, Sarasota, Orange, Duval and beyond. If it is in Florida, tell us about it.

Good Questions

Frequently asked

Can I sell an inherited house in Florida before probate closes?

Often yes, with the personal representative's authority. We can frequently make an offer and move toward closing in parallel with probate, so the sale is ready the moment the court signs off instead of waiting to even start.

Do all the heirs have to agree before we can sell?

That depends on how the estate is set up and who has legal authority to sell — usually the personal representative or executor. We always recommend confirming authority to sell with the estate's attorney before signing anything.

What if the inherited house still has a mortgage or back taxes?

That's common and it doesn't stop a sale — outstanding mortgage balances, liens, and back property taxes are typically settled out of the proceeds at closing. See our page on selling a house with back taxes for how that works.

Do I need to clean out the house or fix anything first?

No. Take what the family wants and leave the rest — we handle cleanout and repairs after closing.

Does Florida require probate before I can sell an inherited house?

Not always. Smaller or older estates can often use Florida's faster summary administration, while larger or more complicated estates go through formal administration with a court-appointed personal representative. Which applies depends on the specific estate, so confirm with the estate's attorney — we can often make an offer while that plays out.
