For Probate and Estate Attorneys

If you handle probate matters in Allegheny County or the surrounding region, you have clients — executors, administrators, heirs — who at some point need to liquidate real estate. That process is often more complicated than either party anticipates.

The property may be in poor condition. The estate contents may still be inside. The heirs may be scattered across different states. Title may carry old liens or unresolved encumbrances. And throughout all of it, there is a court timeline that does not pause for the real estate market.

We Buy Property LLC exists for exactly these situations. We are a local Pittsburgh cash home buyer. We buy estate properties as-is, with no repairs required, no cleanout required by the seller, and no financing contingencies. We provide written cash offers within 24 hours and can close in as few as 7 to 21 days — or on a timeline that aligns with the probate process.

We are not a national hedge fund operation. We are a local company. When you refer a client to us, you are referring them to someone who answers the phone, communicates clearly, and understands how Orphans’ Court proceedings in Allegheny County actually work.

For Executors and Heirs Managing an Inherited Pittsburgh Property

Selling an inherited property is not like selling a home you have lived in. The timeline is different. The condition is often different. The emotional weight is different. And the legal process around probate adds layers that most traditional buyers are not equipped to navigate.

We work with families like yours every year. We buy homes in any condition, handle the contents left behind, coordinate with your attorney, and make the process as straightforward as we can for people who are already dealing with enough.

Why Estate Properties Are Well-Suited for a Cash Sale

Condition

A home that has been occupied for 30 or 40 years often has deferred maintenance. Traditional buyers using financing will face appraisal requirements and lender conditions that estate properties commonly fail. A cash buyer eliminates that friction entirely.

Contents

Most estate homes are full when they come to market. We allow sellers to take whatever is meaningful to them and leave everything else. We handle the cleanout after closing.

Out-of-State Heirs

We coordinate remote signings through our local title company, so geography does not become an obstacle.

Timeline Pressure

Probate does not wait for the real estate market. A cash sale, with no financing contingencies and a flexible closing date, is designed for exactly this kind of situation.

How We Work Within the Probate Timeline

We understand that an executor cannot legally sell an estate property until the court authorizes the sale. We do not try to circumvent that process — we work within it.

1. Initial contact and property assessment. We connect with the executor or heir, schedule a walk-through (or remote assessment), and provide a written cash offer within 24 hours.
2. Agreement during probate. If the estate is still working through probate, we can execute a purchase agreement with a closing date that accounts for anticipated court approval. We have worked with executors and their counsel to structure agreements that meet the requirements of Allegheny County Orphans’ Court.
3. Coordination with your office. If you are the estate attorney and prefer to be kept in the loop, we are comfortable working alongside your office. We will not close without confirmation that the executor has legal authority to convey the property.
4. Flexible closing. We can close in as few as 7 days once all parties are ready, or extend the timeline to 21 days or beyond if the estate requires it.

What We Handle That Traditional Buyers Will Not

• Deferred maintenance and as-is condition. We do not require repairs, updates, or cleaning before purchase. No inspection contingency that produces a list of demanded repairs.
• Estate contents. Heirs can take what matters to them and leave the rest. We handle everything remaining after closing.
• Complex title situations. Old liens, unpaid mortgages, judgment liens, code violations, and title irregularities are common in estate properties. We work with experienced local title companies who handle these situations routinely.
• Out-of-state coordination. We can close a transaction with heirs who never set foot in Pittsburgh. Signings are coordinated through our title company.
• Tax basis considerations. Pennsylvania recognizes the federal stepped-up cost basis, which means heirs who sell shortly after inheriting may face a smaller capital gains exposure than they expect. We always recommend consulting a tax advisor.

How to Refer a Client

Referring a client to us is straightforward. You do not need to fill out a form or set up a formal referral arrangement. Let your client know we exist and give them our contact information. If you prefer to make a direct introduction, email us at mark@we-buy-property.net with a brief note.

We do not pay referral fees to attorneys, and we do not ask for exclusivity arrangements. We understand that your professional obligations run to your clients, not to us.
