Inherited and estate homes
What makes an inherited house different
Most inherited homes have been lived in for decades. The roof, furnace and kitchen may all be due at once, and every room is full. Getting a house like that ready to list can take months of work and thousands of dollars, often organized by family members who live somewhere else.
Then there is the legal side. In Colorado, the person named to handle the estate, called the personal representative, usually needs authority from the probate court before the house can be sold. We can agree on a price now and close once that authority is in place. If the house passed to you another way, such as a beneficiary deed or joint ownership, the sale can often move sooner.
Meanwhile the house keeps costing money: insurance, utilities, taxes, yard care, and the worry of an empty property. A cash sale ends those costs on a date everyone can plan around, and gives the heirs a single figure to divide.

FAQ
Questions about selling an inherited house.
Do not see yours here? Ask us directly. A real person will answer.
You can usually agree to a sale while probate is under way, but closing generally has to wait until the court has given the personal representative authority to sell. We are used to that timeline and can wait.
No. Take the photographs, keepsakes and anything of value to the family, and leave everything else. Clearing out what remains is our job after closing.
Everyone with a legal interest in the house needs to agree to the sale. A single written cash offer tends to make that conversation easier, because there is one number and one date to decide on.
That depends on your circumstances, and we are not tax advisers. Speak with an accountant or the estate's attorney before you decide.
