We Understand What You Are Going Through

Selling a parent's home is about more than real estate. This is the house where you may have grown up, where holidays were celebrated, where memories were made. Every room holds significance. The decision to sell is emotional, not just practical.

At the same time, you are likely managing other estate responsibilities: paperwork, bills, family coordination, perhaps your own grief. The traditional real estate process, with its showings, staging, and months of uncertainty, adds stress when you can least handle it.

We work with families every day who are in this situation. We approach every transaction with respect for what the property means to you, while making the practical side as simple as possible.

Common Situations We Help With

The House Has Been Vacant

Your parent lived in assisted living or a nursing home, and the house has sat empty. We buy properties regardless of how long they have been vacant.

Decades of Belongings

Your parent lived there for 40 years and the house is full. We buy with contents included so you only take what you want.

Deferred Maintenance

As your parent aged, home repairs fell behind. We buy as-is, no repairs needed.

Siblings in Different States

Your family is scattered across the country. Our remote-friendly process works for everyone.

Probate Is Required

You are navigating the court process. We work with estates in probate regularly.

Need to Settle Quickly

Estate expenses are mounting or heirs need their share. We close in as little as 7-14 days.

Questions About Selling Parents' House

The timeline depends on how the property was titled. If it was in a trust or had a transfer-on-death deed, you may be able to sell almost immediately. If probate is required, you typically need to wait until you are appointed as personal representative (usually 2-4 weeks after filing). We work with families at every stage of this process.

Not if you sell to us. We purchase properties with all contents included. You can take the personal items and keepsakes you want, but you do not need to deal with furniture, household items, or belongings. We handle the cleanout after purchase.

This is a common challenge. All heirs with ownership interest typically need to agree on major decisions like selling. If agreement is difficult, selling to a direct buyer can help because the process is faster and provides clear cash value for division. We recommend open communication about what each sibling needs from the sale.

Yes. Many parents' homes have deferred maintenance or dated features. We buy properties in any condition, so you do not need to invest in repairs or updates. The condition is factored into our offer, but it does not prevent sale.

Inherited property receives a stepped-up basis to fair market value at the time of death. If you sell relatively soon at near that value, you may owe little to no capital gains tax. Colorado has no inheritance tax. We recommend consulting a tax professional for your specific situation.
