Your Options for Selling an Inherited House in Florida

  1. List With a Realtor
    • May take months to find a buyer
    • You’ll likely need repairs, cleaning, and showings
    • 6%+ commissions and closing costs apply
  2. Keep the Property
    • Good if one heir wants to live in the home
    • You’ll take on mortgage, taxes, insurance, and upkeep
  3. Sell to a Direct Buyer (As-Is)
    • No repairs, no cleaning, no open houses
    • Close in weeks instead of months
    • Flexible if you need more time for probate or family decisions

Common Challenges With Inherited Property

  • Multiple Heirs → Disagreements about whether to sell or keep the home
  • Repairs Needed → Many inherited homes are older and outdated
  • Back Taxes or Liens → Surprises that show up during probate
  • Ongoing Costs → Mortgage, insurance, and utilities add up quickly

We understand these pressures and we work with families every week in Florida who are dealing with the same issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to fix up an inherited house before selling?
No. We buy inherited houses as-is. You don’t need to spend money on repairs, cleaning, or updates.

What if multiple heirs are involved?
All heirs must agree to the sale, but we work directly with families to make the process as smooth as possible.

Do I need to wait for probate to finish before selling?
Not always. In many cases, you can sign a contract during probate, and we’ll close once the court gives approval.

What if the house has a mortgage or back taxes?
We can still buy the property. Liens, taxes, and mortgages are paid off at closing.
