Question 1

Can I sell an inherited home if it’s still in probate?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in many cases you can. If you’re the executor or personal representative of the estate, you may be able to sell the home during probate—though court approval may be required in some states. Rob Buys Houses works with probate attorneys and title companies to ensure all legal steps are handled correctly. This means:

Coordinating with your attorney for required documents
Making sure court approvals are obtained if needed
Ensuring debts and liens are addressed at closing

Selling to us can help you avoid delays and keep the process moving smoothly.

Question 2

Do I need to make repairs before selling an inherited house?

Accepted Answer

No. We purchase inherited homes in their current condition. Whether it’s a move-in ready property or one that hasn’t been updated in decades, you can sell without making repairs, painting, or even cleaning. This saves time and money, especially if:

The home needs major updates
You live out of state and can’t manage contractors
The cost of repairs outweighs your budget

We make selling easy and cost-free for you.

Question 3

What if there are multiple heirs who can’t agree on selling?

Accepted Answer

This is common. We’ve helped many families in situations where siblings or heirs disagree. Sometimes the court will order a sale, but often, once a fair cash offer is on the table, it becomes easier to reach an agreement. We can:

Provide a single cash offer for everyone to review
Allow flexible timelines for decision-making
Work with your attorney to ensure proceeds are divided fairly

Our goal is to make the sale process as neutral and stress-free as possible.

Question 4

Will you handle leftover belongings in the home?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many inherited homes still contain furniture, clothing, personal papers, and sentimental items. We allow sellers to take what they want and leave the rest—we’ll handle cleaning out the property after closing. This includes:

Donating usable items to charities
Disposing of damaged or unwanted items
Handling any hazardous or specialty waste properly

This way, you don’t have to spend weeks sorting through everything yourself.

Question 5

How quickly can I sell an inherited house for cash?

Accepted Answer

We can often close in as little as 7–14 days, depending on your situation. If probate is already complete, the process is even faster. Selling directly to Rob Buys Houses eliminates the months of waiting common with traditional listings, inspections, and financing. You choose the closing date that works for you, giving you complete control over the timeline.

Question 6

Why sell to a cash buyer instead of using a realtor?

Accepted Answer

Selling an inherited home through a realtor often requires:

Making repairs or upgrades
Paying for staging, cleaning, and photography
Waiting months for a buyer to secure financing
Paying commissions and closing costs

When you sell to Rob Buys Houses, you skip all of that. We make a fair cash offer, buy the home as-is, and cover most closing costs. It’s faster, simpler, and often more profitable once expenses are factored in.
