Sell your house · How it works

From first call to keys at closing, here's how it goes.

Selling a house from an estate shouldn't feel like a mystery. We keep the process short and plain: you tell us about the home, we make a fair cash offer, and you pick the closing date. No cleanout, no repairs, no showings on your end.

No surprises, by design

You'll always know exactly what happens next.

The reason people dread selling an estate home is uncertainty: the repairs a buyer might demand, the showings, the offers that fall through at the last minute. A direct sale removes all of that. We're the buyer, we take the home as it is, and once we agree on a price, that's the price.

At every step you'll know where things stand and what comes next. If a traditional listing would actually net you more, we'll tell you before you commit and connect you with a realtor we trust, because we'd rather be straight with you than push a sale.

  • One point of contact from the first call to the closing
  • A written cash offer with the numbers explained plainly
  • You choose the closing date, not us
Ask a question first
The process

Four steps, start to finish

1

Tell us about the house

A short call or message about the property, the estate, and your timeline. There's nothing to prepare and no cost to find out where you stand.

2

We look at the home

In person or by video for out-of-state families. We're looking at condition and contents so our offer is real, not a lowball we walk back later.

3

You get a fair cash offer

A clear written offer with the reasoning behind it. No obligation, no pressure, and time to think it over or run it past your attorney.

4

Pick your date and close

Choose a closing date that fits probate and your plans. Take what you want from the home, leave the rest, bring the keys, and collect the cash.

What you skip

The work you don't have to do

A direct sale means the whole to-do list that usually comes with selling a house simply isn't yours to worry about.

No cleanout

Leave the furniture, the basement, and the attic. We handle everything left behind after closing, the same way we clear any estate.

No repairs

Old roof, dated kitchen, deferred maintenance. We price the home as it stands, so you never front a dollar to fix it up first.

No showings

No open houses, no strangers walking through, no keeping an empty home staged for weeks. One visit from us is all it takes.

No agent commission

On a direct sale there's no listing agent to pay, so a commission never comes out of your proceeds at the closing table.

Common questions

How the sale works, answered

The practical questions people ask before they start. If yours isn't here, a quick call sorts it out.

Ask us directly
How do you decide what to offer?
We look at the home's condition, its location, and what comparable homes sell for once they're fixed up, then work back from there. When we make the offer we walk you through that math, so it isn't a number pulled from thin air.
How long does the whole thing take?
That's largely up to you. Once we agree on a price, a straightforward sale can close in a few weeks, but if probate or your own schedule needs more time, we work around it. You set the closing date.
Is the offer really no-obligation?
Yes. You can take the offer to your attorney, sit with it, or walk away, and it costs you nothing either way. We'd rather you feel sure than rushed.
What if listing with a realtor would get me more?
Then we'll say so. Because we handle both direct purchases and realtor referrals, we have no reason to steer you. If a traditional sale nets you more and you have the time, we'll introduce you to a partner we trust.
Do I need to clean or fix anything before you look?
No. Please don't. We buy homes exactly as they are, contents and all, so there's nothing to tidy or repair before we come by.
