Selling an Inherited Property in the Bay Area

Inheriting a house is rarely just inheriting a house. Usually you're also dealing with the loss of a parent, the logistics of a memorial, the paperwork of an estate, and probably a sibling or two who has a different opinion than you do about what to do next. The house feels like one more thing on a list of hard things.

We've worked with hundreds of Bay Area families in this exact situation since 2009. Here's how we usually help.

First, we don't need the probate process to be finished before we talk. We can walk through the property, give you a fair cash offer, and let you decide whether selling makes sense for your family at all. No commitment, no pressure.

Second, you don't have to clean it out. Most of the inherited homes we buy still have furniture, clothes, photo albums, kitchen things, and decades of accumulated stuff. Take what you want to keep. Leave the rest. We handle the cleanout. We donate what we can to local charities.

Third, we're patient with the timing. Probate in California can take 6 to 18 months depending on the situation. We can wait. We can also close in 3 to 7 days if the estate is already settled and you want to move on quickly. Your timeline.

A lot of the families we work with are spread across the country. The kids live in three different states, the lawyer is in one place, the house is in another. We handle everything remotely if needed. You don't have to fly out.

If we're not the right fit. Say, the house is in great shape and the family has time to list traditionally. We'll tell you. We'd rather be honest than push you into a sale that doesn't serve you.
