Have you recently inherited a property from a loved one who has passed away?
Losing a loved one is hard. Selling an inherited property on top of grief, family logistics, and court paperwork can feel overwhelming. At Rest Assured Home Buyers, we’re not just cash buyers—we’re problem solvers who work hand‑in‑hand with probate attorneys and local title companies nationwide. We help you sell an inherited house fast, as‑is, with no commissions, no closing costs, and a closing date that fits your family’s timeline—often in 10–14 days once you have authority to sell.
Our promise is simple: what we offer is what you receive (less any existing taxes, liens, or mortgage payoff). We lead with empathy, clarity, and follow‑through—so you can focus on what matters most.
Why Families Choose Rest Assured to Sell an Inherited Home
When you search “selling an inherited property” or “we buy inherited houses”, you’ll find plenty of buyers promising speed. We deliver that—and the support most families actually need:
- We work with your attorney. Probate, trust, TOD deed, joint tenancy—whatever your path, we coordinate with counsel and the title company to keep documents moving.
- As‑is means as‑is. Hoarder contents, storm damage, mold, code violations, tenants—we’ll buy the property as‑is and handle clean‑out after closing.
- Flexible possession. Need time to sort belongings or plan a move? We can structure rent‑back, provide moving help, and even cash advances for deposits when appropriate.
- Radical transparency. We explain comps, condition, and your net proceeds in plain language—no bait‑and‑switch.
Certainty you can plan around. We’re direct cash buyers with a track record: 10+ years, 300+ homes purchased, 4.7★ average rating, and we’ve never failed to close a signed deal.
How We Buy Inherited Houses (Nationwide)
1) Share the Basics & Get a Range
Tell us about the property (online or by phone). We’ll review and provide a preliminary range—free and no obligation.
2) Quick Assessment (30–45 minutes)
We walk the property (or do a virtual review when needed), discuss condition and local comparables, and outline options—including timing around probate authority.
3) Close on Your Timeline
Once you (or your representative) have authority to sell, we coordinate with your probate/trust attorney and local title company and close when you’re ready—often in 10–14 days. Proceeds are sent by wire or certified check. If you need a short rent‑back or moving support, we’ll build it into the plan.
Not legal or tax advice. We collaborate with your professionals and keep the process moving, but decisions about probate and taxes should be made with your attorney/CPA.
Several factors which can determine whether or not you have rights to a property include:
None of these automatically disqualify you from working with us, but it’s important to know these things before getting started.
Common Inherited‑Home Challenges We Solve
- Full of belongings / hoarder level. Keep what matters; we can handle the rest after closing.
- Multiple heirs / disagreement. We coordinate with your counsel to keep communication clear; if a buyout or sale is the better route, we’ll help navigate timing.
- Out‑of‑state executor. We close remotely when needed and keep all parties updated.
- Title clouds, liens, or back taxes. We work with the title company to identify and clear issues early.
- Mortgage after death. We align with the servicer and your attorney; federal rules limit when a due‑on‑sale clause applies to family transfers.
- Medicaid estate recovery (MERP). If applicable in your state, we’ll surface it early with title/attorney so no one is blindsided at closing.
Bottom line: Any reason. Any condition. Any challenge. We bring calm, clarity, and a closing date you can plan around.
Sell As‑Is vs. List vs. Renovate vs. Rent (What’s Best?)
| Option | Speed | Hassle | Typical Proceeds | Good Fit When… |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sell As‑Is for Cash (Rest Assured) |
Fast (often 10–14 days post‑authority) |
Low (we handle repairs/clean‑out) |
Net is clear upfront |
Time matters; home needs work; multiple heirs want certainty |
| List With an Agent | Variable (45–90+ days) | Medium/High (showings, repairs) |
Potentially higher if home is market‑ready |
House is in good shape and you have time |
| Renovate, Then Sell | Slow (months) | High (project risk) | Can be higher, but not guaranteed |
You have capital, contractors, and bandwidth |
| Rent It Out | Ongoing | Ongoing (landlord tasks) | Income over time | You prefer to hold the asset and manage tenants |
