We’re sorry for your loss
An inherited house is a job nobody signed up for
Grief is hard enough. Then there’s the house: the mortgage or taxes still due every month, the lawn, the furnace nobody has serviced in years, forty years of belongings in the basement, and siblings who each have a different idea about what to do. If you live an hour away — or in another state — every one of those problems is worse.
We’ve helped Wisconsin families through exactly this. Our job is to give you one clear number, explain how we got to it, and then take the whole house off your hands — contents included — on a date that works for the family. No repairs, no cleaning, no estate sale, no showings.
Just as important: we’ll tell you plainly if selling to us isn’t your best option. Some inherited homes are in great shape and should be listed. Some families want to keep them. We’d rather point you the right way than push a sale.
Your options
How selling to us works when you’ve inherited a house
Tell us about the house and where things stand
Is there a will? Has probate been opened? Who are the heirs? Don’t worry if you don’t know yet — we’ll help you figure out what the title company will need.
A quick walkthrough, or photos if you’re far away
No cleaning, no clearing out. If you’re out of state, a video walkthrough or a neighbor with a key is enough for us to make an offer.
A written offer, with the math
What the house would be worth fixed up, what it needs, our costs — all of it in writing so you can share it with the family and your attorney.
Sign the purchase agreement
No deadlines from us. Co-heirs can sign electronically or with a mobile notary wherever they live.
The title company clears the title
In Wisconsin, an estate usually needs a personal representative appointed (or a transfer-on-death deed or small-estate process) before the house can be sold. The title company confirms what applies; we wait as long as that takes.
Take what matters, leave the rest
Keys and a signature at closing, funds wired to the estate or the heirs as your attorney directs, and everything left behind becomes our responsibility.
What we handle so you don’t have to
- Clean-out of every room, garage and basement — keep what you want, leave the rest
- All repairs, from cosmetic to structural, after closing
- Back taxes, utility liens and mortgage payoffs, handled through the title company
- Coordinating signatures with heirs in different cities or states
- Working with your probate attorney or the estate’s personal representative
- A closing date that fits the estate’s timeline, not ours
Not legal advice. Wisconsin probate rules vary with the size of the estate and whether there is a will, a trust or a transfer-on-death deed. A Wisconsin probate attorney can tell you what applies to your family; we’re glad to work alongside them, and many families find the sale is the easy part.
