Inherited & probate property

Selling an inherited house in Houston

Inheriting a house in Houston — whether it sits in Heights and Pasadena or anywhere else in Harris County — is rarely simple. There may be a mortgage still attached, property taxes piling up, an out-of-state family, and a building full of a lifetime's belongings. In Texas, an inherited property usually has to clear probate before title can transfer. Texas has no state income tax, so property taxes are among the highest in the country. Non-judicial foreclosure sales happen the first Tuesday of every month at the county courthouse. A traditional listing means clearing it out, making repairs, and waiting months for a buyer — time and money many families don't want to spend on a house they never planned to keep.

Why heirs choose a cash buyer

A cash sale cuts every one of those steps loose. We buy the Houston house as-is, which means no repairs, no cleanout, and no showings. You keep what you want and leave the rest. Our offer typically lands at 70–85% of after-repair value, there are zero fees or commissions, and we cover the closing costs. You pick the closing date, and we close in as few as 7 days once the estate has the authority to sell. Owners in Heights, Pasadena and Sunnyside and the wider Harris County reach us for the same reason: a real number, fast, on their street.

Selling while probate runs

In most cases the estate must move through probate in Harris County before title can change hands in Texas. That doesn't have to stall things: we can agree on a price up front and have everything staged so we close the moment the personal representative is cleared to sign. Every closing runs through a licensed local title company or real estate attorney, so the chain of title is clean and recorded properly.

The cost to you

Nothing. There's no fee to request a real cash offer within 24 hours, no obligation to accept it, and zero fees or commissions if you do. We buy throughout the Houston Metro area, so a local team handles the Houston closing. We're cash buyers, not agents or attorneys — show our written offer to your lawyer or accountant before you sign. If the number works for your family, we close on your schedule; if it doesn't, you walk away at no cost.

Questions

Sell an inherited house in Houston — answered

Can I sell an inherited house in Houston before probate is finished?
Usually the estate has to clear probate in Harris County before title can transfer in Texas, but we can start the process, agree on a price, and be ready to close the moment the personal representative has authority to sell. We've closed many inherited Houston homes this way.
Do I have to clean out or repair the inherited Houston house first?
No. We buy inherited homes as-is, including any furniture, belongings, or junk left behind. Take what matters to you and leave the rest — there's nothing to fix, stage, or haul away.
What if several heirs own the property together?
That's common. Everyone on title (or the estate's personal representative) signs at closing. We're used to coordinating multiple heirs on a single Houston sale and can work around schedules and out-of-state signers.
How much will you pay for an inherited Houston house?
Offers typically land between 70–85% of after-repair value, based on recent comparable sales and the home's condition. There are zero fees or commissions, so the number you accept is the number you net.
Are there taxes when I sell an inherited Texas house?
Inherited property generally receives a stepped-up cost basis, and no state real estate transfer tax. Title company closing is standard. We're cash buyers, not tax advisors, so confirm specifics with your accountant — but you're welcome to run our written offer past them before you sign anything.
