You're Not Doing This Alone

A Family Home Shouldn't
Become Another Full-Time Job

Whether it's a rowhome that's been in the family for decades or a property you just found out about, inheriting a house in Philadelphia usually comes with more questions than answers — probate, siblings to coordinate with, deferred maintenance, and a house full of memories you may not be ready to sort through.

We buy inherited Philadelphia houses exactly as they sit — no cleanout, no repairs, no realtor commissions. You take what matters to you, and we handle everything else, working directly with your attorney or title company if needed.

Still in probate — early, mid, or nearly through, we can usually work with your timeline.

Full of belongings — take what you want, leave the rest, no cleanout required.

Split between heirs — we coordinate with everyone named on the deed or estate.

The Pennsylvania Probate Path
— And Where a Cash Sale Fits In

Every estate is different, but the general path looks like this. We can typically step in and get an offer ready well before the final step.

1

Executor or Administrator Named

The will names an executor, or if there's no will, the court appoints an administrator (often the closest next of kin) to handle the estate.

2

Grant of Letters Testamentary

The Register of Wills issues "Letters," giving the executor legal authority to act on behalf of the estate — including, in most cases, selling real estate.

3

Debts, Taxes & Heirs Sorted

Outstanding debts, back taxes, and liens are identified, and any co-heirs are notified. This is often where things slow down — and where we can help.

Now

Get a Cash Offer for the House

Once the executor has authority to sell, we can make a fair, no-obligation cash offer — often before you've even finished cleaning the place out.

Final

Close & Distribute Proceeds

Sale proceeds are distributed to heirs per the will or Pennsylvania's intestacy law, and the estate can move toward final closing.

This is a general overview, not legal advice — every Pennsylvania estate moves on its own timeline. An estate attorney can confirm exactly where your family's case stands and whether a sale can proceed now.

No Situation Too Complicated

Inherited Property Situations
We Help With Every Week

If any of these fit your situation, you're exactly who we built this for.

Still in Probate

The estate hasn't formally closed yet. We can often start the conversation and have an offer ready once you have authority to sell.

Multiple Heirs Involved

Siblings or extended family sharing ownership, sometimes with different opinions. We coordinate with everyone so the sale can move forward.

Out-of-State Heir

You live in another state and can't easily manage a Philadelphia property in person. Most of the process can be handled remotely.

House Needs Major Work

Deferred maintenance, an old roof, outdated systems. We renovate Philadelphia rowhomes every day — you fix nothing.

Full of Belongings

Decades of furniture, keepsakes, and paperwork left behind. Take what matters to you — we handle the rest, no cleanout needed.

Back Taxes or Liens

Unpaid property taxes or old liens attached to the estate. We factor these into the offer and can work with title to resolve them at closing.

"My siblings and I live in three different states and none of us wanted to manage our mom's house from a distance. Kenneth's team made it simple — we barely had to leave our own homes."

"The house was still full of my grandmother's things and I just couldn't face sorting through it. They let me take what I wanted and handled everything else. I'm so grateful."

Inherited House Questions, Answered

Selling an Inherited House —
What You Need to Know

In most cases, yes — the estate typically needs to go through probate and an executor or administrator needs to be formally appointed before a sale can close. We routinely work with families who are still early in that process and can help you understand what stage you're at.
It's common, and it doesn't have to stall the sale. Usually all heirs (or the appointed executor) need to consent to the sale, and we're used to coordinating with several family members, including ones who live out of state.
Yes. We handle out-of-state heirs regularly. Paperwork can typically be signed remotely or by mail through the title company, and we can coordinate the entire process by phone and email.
No. We buy inherited houses exactly as they sit, including homes still full of belongings. You're welcome to take anything you want first, and leave the rest to us.
We review title issues, back taxes, and liens as part of every offer and work with the title company to resolve them at closing whenever possible, so it's one less thing you have to sort out yourself.
Inherited property usually gets a stepped-up tax basis to the value at the date of death, which often reduces or eliminates taxable gain, but every situation is different. We recommend confirming your specific tax picture with an accountant or estate attorney.
