Inheriting a house usually comes at one of the hardest times in life. On top of grieving, you may be handling a probate case, splitting things with brothers and sisters, paying taxes and utilities on an empty house, and deciding what to do with a lifetime of belongings. If you live out of town, it is even harder.
Honest Homebuyer Dayton buys inherited houses for cash, as-is, all over the Dayton area. You don’t have to clean it out, fix it up, or list it. We work with you, your family, and your attorney on a timeline that fits.
Why families choose to sell an inherited house as-is
- No clean-out. Take what you want, leave what you don’t. We handle the furniture, the basement, the garage, all of it.
- No repairs. Old roof, outdated kitchen, foundation issues, code violations: we buy it in the condition it is in.
- No agent commissions or fees. The offer we make is the money you split, minus normal closing costs we will go over with you.
- Stop the holding costs. Property taxes, insurance, utilities, and lawn care on an empty house add up fast. A quick sale stops them.
- One simple decision for the whole family. A fair cash number makes it easier for heirs to agree.
Can I sell a house that is still in probate?
Often, yes. In many cases the executor or administrator can sign a purchase agreement while the estate is open, and the sale closes once the probate court gives the authority to sell. Some houses skip probate entirely, for example when the owner recorded a Transfer on Death designation. Every estate is different. We will gladly work with your attorney, or if you don’t have one, we can recommend a probate attorney we have worked with who has done a great job for our clients. When it made sense, we have even covered the attorney’s fee for a family. We work alongside the attorney and the title company, and we wait for the court timeline instead of pressuring you.
What if the house is full of stuff, run down, or has tenants?
That is exactly the kind of house we buy. Hoarded houses, houses that have sat empty for years, houses with tenants still in them, houses that need everything. You do not need to do anything to get it ready for us.
What if not all the heirs agree?
It is common for brothers and sisters to have different ideas. A written cash offer gives everyone a real number to talk about. We will answer every family member’s questions, and we never push anyone to sign.
How it works
- 1. Call, text, or fill out the form. Tell us about the house. There is no obligation.
- 2. We walk through the house with you. We will look at the condition, answer your questions, and explain how we came up with our number.
- 3. You choose the closing date. We close at a local title company, and you get paid at closing.
Our honest promise
We will always tell you what is in your best interest, even if that means selling to us is not your best option. If listing the house with an agent would put more money in your family’s pocket, we will tell you. When we buy your house ourselves, you deal directly with the buyer, with no middleman fee coming out of your sale.
