If you are handling an estate, you are managing a lot — attorneys, paperwork, family conversations, and a property that may be sitting empty miles away. We help families move forward with the house, at their pace, on their terms.
Most of the families we work with are juggling grief, siblings, an attorney, and a long list of tasks. Selling the house should not add to the weight you are already carrying.
You may be weeks from probate closing, or months. You may be ready to talk this week, or in six months. There is no right moment — only yours.
Some families want a quick, quiet sale. Others need time to sort belongings, hold a service, or align with siblings. We adapt to what you need.
You do not need to clean out the house, sort belongings, or make a single repair. Take whatever matters to your family. We handle everything that remains.
We can wait until probate is finalized, or close before it closes when the PR has authority. You and your attorney set the timing. We work around your schedule.
You work directly with us from the first conversation through closing. No call centers, no surprises — if we ever need to bring in a capital partner on a transaction, we tell you upfront.
We are Massachusetts buyers who know these neighborhoods. We give honest numbers up front and explain how we got there — never bait you with a high offer and re-trade after inspection.
Call or send a quick message. We will talk through your situation, answer questions, and explain what a sale might look like — even if you are months from being ready.
If it feels like a fit, we will provide a no-obligation written offer based on the property and your timeline. You and your family take the time you need to consider it.
When you are ready — whenever that is — we close. We coordinate with your attorney, handle the paperwork, and you walk away with a clean, finished sale.
Often yes, depending on the type of estate and the powers granted to the personal representative. In many Massachusetts probate cases, the PR can sign a purchase and sale agreement during probate and close once authority is confirmed. In some cases — particularly intestate estates or where the will does not grant sale powers — the PR needs a License to Sell from the probate court under M.G.L. c. 202 before conveying real property. Your attorney will know what applies in your specific case, and we coordinate with them directly on timing.
No. We buy houses with all contents in place — furniture, belongings, dishes, the contents of the basement and attic. You take what matters to your family. We handle the rest after closing. Most families find this is the most stressful part of selling an inherited home, so we remove it entirely.
That is common, and it is okay. We never push a family toward a decision. If you are still working through it together, we are happy to provide information you can share with your siblings, answer questions on a group call, or simply step back and stay available for when you reach alignment. Practical note: if title has already been distributed out of the estate to multiple heirs, all owners typically need to sign the purchase agreement. We help identify who needs to sign and work with your attorney on the paperwork.
We look at recent comparable sales in the neighborhood, the condition of the property, any needed repairs, and current market conditions in your specific area. We are happy to walk you through how we arrive at the number — there are no proprietary algorithms or hidden adjustments. A direct cash offer is typically below what the property might fetch on the open market in exchange for speed, no repairs, and a clean closing — we will always be upfront about that trade-off.
We charge no commission and no fees, and we typically cover standard buyer-side closing costs. The estate will still have its own expenses — for example, Massachusetts transfer (excise) tax is statutorily on the seller (currently $4.56 per $1,000 of price), plus the estate's own attorney fees and any prorated property taxes. The net amount the estate receives is spelled out in the purchase and sale agreement before signing — no hidden fees from us. Compare that to a traditional sale, where the estate also pays 5 to 6 percent in agent commissions on top of those standard seller costs.
You do not make any repairs. Outdated kitchens, deferred maintenance, water damage, hoarding situations — we buy houses in any condition. The estate does not spend a single dollar fixing anything.
Yes. Conversations are private, your information is never shared or sold, and there are no public listings, signs, or open houses. Many families value the discretion as much as the simplicity.
Massachusetts probate filings are public record. We identify potential matches through Massachusetts probate court records and reach out by mail to Personal Representatives. We never share or sell the information we collect from those mailings. If you would prefer not to hear from us again, let us know and we will remove your address from future mailings.
Whether you are ready to talk specifics or just want to understand your options, we are glad to help. There is no obligation, and we will never pressure you toward a decision.
Conversations are confidential. We respond within one business day.
