You Inherited a House — Not an Obligation to Keep It
Most people who inherit a Pittsburgh property never planned to be landlords or renovators. The house may be dated, full of a lifetime of belongings, and hundreds of miles from where you live. Meanwhile the taxes, insurance, and utilities keep coming due.
Selling for cash is often the cleanest way to turn an inherited house into money in the bank — without repairs, without clearing it out yourself, and without months of uncertainty.
How It Works
- Submit the property — Tell us the address and the basics; we’ll explain what’s possible.
- We assess and make a cash offer within 24 hours — Based on as-is condition, contents and all.
- We coordinate with the estate and title company — Including remote e-signing if you’re out of state.
- You close and walk away — Take what you want, leave the rest. We handle the cleanout.

Probate in Pennsylvania — The Basics
If the home passed through a will, it usually goes through probate in the county Register of Wills. An executor is appointed and given authority (often called “letters testamentary”) to act for the estate, including selling real estate. Pennsylvania probate commonly takes several months to a year depending on the estate’s complexity.
You generally do not have to wait until probate fully closes to sell — in most cases the executor can sell the property during probate once letters are granted. When you contact us, tell us where the estate stands and we’ll work within it.
Common Inherited-Property Situations We Handle
- Multiple heirs who want to split the value and move on
- Out-of-state owners who can’t manage upkeep or a local sale
- Homes full of belongings no one has time to clear
- Dated properties that would need heavy work to list traditionally
- Estates that simply need the asset converted to cash to settle
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell before probate is finished?
Usually yes — once the executor has authority. We’ll coordinate with the estate’s attorney and the title company.
There are several heirs — does everyone have to agree?
Yes, the parties with legal interest need to agree to sell. We can make one clean offer everyone reviews together.
Do I have to clear out the house?
No. Take the keepsakes you want and leave everything else — the cleanout is on us.
What about taxes on the sale?
Inherited property often receives a “stepped-up” cost basis, which can reduce taxable gain — but tax depends on your situation. Confirm with a CPA; we’re happy to work on your CPA’s timeline.
I live out of state — can this be done remotely?
Yes. We handle the walkthrough here and coordinate a remote closing. You don’t have to fly in.
