Frequently Asked Questions About Selling Inherited California Homes
Will I have to pay anything out of pocket?
No. We cover all closing costs and there are no commissions or fees. You keep 100% of the cash offer we provide.
What if my house is in poor condition?
That’s totally fine. We buy houses ”as-is” — you don’t need to repair, clean, or even remove anything before the sale.
How fast can you close?
We can close in as little as 7 days, or on your timeline. You choose your move out date.
Do I need a real estate agent?
Not at all. You’re selling directly to us, so no agents are involved — and no commissions to pay.
What happens if I say no to your offer?
Nothing at all. There’s no obligation. We’ll give you a fair cash offer, and it’s 100% your choice if you want to accept.
What if the house is tenant occupied?
No problem. If the house is occupied by tenants, we will manage it.
Can I sell an inherited house before probate?
Typically, no. Selling an inherited house before probate is usually not possible because probate establishes legal ownership of the house. However, we can guide you through the process and ensure a smooth transition once probate is complete.
What if the inherited house is in a trust?
No problem. Trusts can be beneficial because they enable the distribution of assets without the need for probate. Trusts can avoid probate delays, reduce taxes, and provide greater privacy.
Are there taxes when you sell an inherited house?
Taxes owed when selling an inherited house in California may include capital gains tax, transfer tax, property tax, inheritance tax, income tax, estate tax, and other taxes. We recommend consulting with a local lawyer or accountant who specializes in tax and estate planning matters – they can advise you based on your specific needs and suggest tax-minimization strategies.
Do I need to make repairs?
No repairs are necessary. We buy houses ”as-is,” in any condition. We save you the time, expense, and hassle of home improvements.
What if there's an existing mortgage on the house?
No problem. We will work with you and the lender to pay off the existing mortgage.
What if there's a complicated family situation?
We’re experienced in navigating complex family inheritance situations. We’ll help you resolve a complicated family scenario with sensitivity and professionalism – ensuring a fair and respectful resolution for everyone involved.
