Sell an Inherited House
in Kansas City
We buy inherited and probate houses as-is across the KC metro in Missouri and Kansas. No repairs, no cleanout, no agent fees.
Inherited a House You Don’t Want to Keep?
Losing a parent or loved one is hard enough. Then comes the house: the taxes, the utilities, the lawn, a lifetime of belongings, and a family trying to agree on what to do. We help Kansas City families sell inherited houses without fixing them up, cleaning them out, or listing them.
Situations We Help With
- The house is still in probate, or probate hasn’t been opened yet
- Several siblings or heirs share ownership
- Heirs live out of state and can’t take care of the property
- The house is full of belongings
- The house needs major repairs, has code violations, or has been sitting vacant
- There are back taxes, a mortgage, or liens on the property
- A tenant or family member is still living there
Sellers Love Working With Us
Very professional process. We had multiple siblings as owners on an inherited property. Hector negotiated a fair price and the closing was handled seamlessly. I highly recommend this company.

How Selling an Inherited House to Us Works
- Tell us about the house. Call or fill out the form. We’ll ask about the property and where things stand with the estate.
- We walk the house and make an offer. Our cash offer is based on the house as it sits today. No repairs or cleaning needed.
- We work with your attorney and title company. We coordinate with the estate’s attorney and a local title company so the sale is done the right way.
- Close when the estate is ready. You choose the closing date. Take what you want from the house and leave the rest. We handle the cleanout.
Can I Sell a House That’s Still in Probate?
Often, yes. In both Missouri and Kansas, the person the court appoints to handle the estate (the personal representative, executor, or administrator) can usually sell estate property once they have the authority to do so. Some sales also need the court’s approval. Every estate is different, so we work alongside your probate attorney. We can make an offer before probate is finished and close once the estate is cleared to sell.
We’re not attorneys, and this isn’t legal advice. Talk with a probate attorney about your family’s situation.

Inherited House FAQs
Do all the heirs have to agree to sell?
Generally, everyone with an ownership interest, or the court-appointed representative, needs to sign off on the sale. We’re happy to talk with each family member and answer their questions so everyone understands the offer.
What happens to the belongings in the house?
Take anything you want to keep. Leave the rest. We handle the cleanout after closing.
What if there’s still a mortgage or back taxes on the house?
Those are usually paid off from the sale proceeds at closing through the title company. You don’t need to pay them off first.
Do I have to live in Kansas City to sell?
No. Many of the heirs we work with live out of state. Most of the process can be handled by phone and email, and title companies can often arrange mail-away signing.
How fast can you close?
Once the estate is cleared to sell, we can often close in as little as 7 days, or later if your family needs more time.
