We Make Selling an Inherited Home Simple

Inheriting a house often comes with a lot at once: grief, paperwork, family decisions and a property you may live far from. We buy inherited homes in Broward, Miami-Dade and across Florida for cash, as-is, and we work alongside your probate attorney.

  • No repairs and no clean-out: take what matters and leave the rest
  • Close where you live, with a mobile notary, even out of state
  • Every heir signs from home; no one has to fly in
  • No fees or closing costs; local buyer since 2015

Common Situations We Help With

You live out of state. Managing a vacant Florida house from far away is hard. We handle the visit, the paperwork and the closing, and a notary comes to you.

Several heirs, different opinions. One wants to renovate, another wants to sell now. A cash offer gives everyone one clear number, and each heir’s share is paid at closing.

The house is costing money every month. Property taxes, insurance, utilities and HOA fees keep coming while the house sits empty. Many insurance policies limit coverage once a home is vacant for a while.

The house needs work. Older homes often need a roof, plumbing or electrical updates before a buyer with a loan can close. We buy as-is.

Can I Sell Before Probate Is Finished?

Usually you can agree on a sale early and close once the person handling the estate has authority to sign. In short:

  • Someone must have authority to sell. In probate, that’s the personal representative appointed by the court.
  • Small estates move faster. Florida’s simplified “summary administration” can apply when the estate is worth $150,000 or less (not counting exempt property), or when the owner died more than 2 years ago.
  • The will can speed things up. If it gives the personal representative a power of sale, they can usually sell without a separate court approval.
  • Some homes skip probate. A house held in a living trust or passed by a Lady Bird deed may transfer without probate.
  • Homestead has special rules. If the house was the owner’s homestead, the estate attorney may need a court order about it before the sale.

We work with your attorney and set the closing date around the court’s timeline. Probate in Broward goes through the 17th Judicial Circuit, and in Miami-Dade the 11th.

This is general information, not legal advice. Your probate attorney can tell you what applies to your estate.

Speed
Cash offers are typically quicker than traditional home sales. There is no need to wait for a mortgage to be approved, which can take several weeks or even months. .

Certainty
Cash offers are usually considered more certain than traditional home sales because the buyer has the funds readily available and does not need to secure financing. This can help to avoid last-minute complications or delays in the closing process.

Simplicity
Selling a house through a cash offer can be a straightforward process. There is no need to make repairs or improvements to the property, and there is no need to stage the home for showings.

Flexibility
Cash buyers are often willing to close on a date that is convenient for the seller. This can be especially beneficial if you need to move quickly or are looking to avoid a long closing process.

Avoiding Foreclosure 
In some cases, cash buyers may be able to help homeowners avoid foreclosure by purchasing their property quickly.

How We Buy Inherited Homes

Four steps, and every heir can sign from home.

Step 1

Talk with us. Tell us about the house and where the estate stands. We’re glad to talk with your attorney too.

Step 2

Get a cash offer. After we see the house, you get a written offer, often within 24 to 48 hours.

Step 3

Sign from anywhere. A mobile notary meets each heir where they live.

Step 4

Close and get paid. A title company closes the sale and pays each heir’s share as the estate directs. Leave behind anything you don’t want.

Real Families We’ve Helped

Sarah, Fort Lauderdale. Sarah inherited her mother’s 1960s home while living in New York. Realtors told her to renovate first. We made a cash offer within 48 hours and closed with a mobile notary in New York, so she never had to travel. Read Sarah’s story.

The Johnson family, Miami. Five heirs in different states inherited their grandmother’s 1970s home. It sat vacant through probate and picked up code violations, and realtors suggested $85,000 in renovations first. We coordinated with every heir and their probate attorney, arranged notaries in each heir’s city, and everyone was paid within 14 days of probate finishing. Read the Johnson family’s story.

“With five family members involved, we thought this inheritance would become a nightmare. Easy Home Buyer coordinated everything seamlessly.” — the Johnson family

Questions Heirs Ask

Do all the heirs have to agree?

The person with authority to sign, usually the personal representative, signs the sale. In practice, sales go smoothest when the heirs agree, and a single cash number helps.

The house is still in my parent’s name. Can I sell it?

Yes, once the estate gives someone authority to sign. We can agree on terms now and close when that’s in place.

Do I have to clean out the house?

No. Take what matters to you and leave the rest; we handle it.

Will I owe a lot of tax if I sell?

Often not much. Inherited property usually gets a “stepped-up” tax basis equal to its value when the owner died, so selling soon after may mean little or no capital gain. Check with your tax advisor.

How fast can you close?

About 2–3 weeks once the estate can sign, or later if you need more time.
