Inherited a house in Columbus you don’t want to keep?

Cash offer · As-is · No agent commissions

Between cleanup, repairs, taxes, and family decisions, inherited property can drag on. If a fast, private sale fits your situation, we’ll review the home honestly — and we’ll say so if a traditional listing is the better play. We hear from heirs across Clintonville (43202), Northland (43229), Hilltop (43204), Far East (43232), the Whitehall and Reynoldsburg sides of the metro, and other Franklin County ZIPs when everyone needs a simple path.

Get inherited-home help How it works

Not legal or tax advice. Probate and title questions belong with a qualified attorney — we’re buyers, not a law firm.

Common inherited-property pressures

  • The home needs work nobody wants to fund
  • Heirs live out of town or disagree on next steps
  • Holding costs (taxes, insurance, utilities) keep stacking
  • You want clarity more than a months-long listing
  • Personal belongings still inside — you need a practical path

You may still have options

A direct sale is one path — not the only one. Some families prefer listing when the house is retail-ready; others need speed and certainty. We’ll tell you where we think you land.

Repairs you don’t want to manage?

We buy as-is — dated kitchens, roof issues, and cleanup situations show up all the time with inherited homes. Share what you know; we’ll respond with a realistic yes or no.

Probate or title complexity?

Ohio estates are county-specific. We coordinate with title once your attorney confirms who can sell — we don’t replace that counsel.

Other paths (not from us)

Transfers to heirs, refinances, rentals, or a conventional listing may fit some families better. We focus on buying when a straightforward cash sale makes sense.

Inherited property in Ohio (high level)

Title and authority matter. Who can sign a deed, whether an estate is open in Franklin County Probate Court, and what liens attach to the property all affect whether — and when — a sale can close. Local records and county practices are part of that picture.

We’re not attorneys or accountants. Use licensed professionals for probate strategy, tax basis, and distribution questions. Our job is to make a clear cash offer when selling fits.

Inherited home questions (Columbus & Franklin County)

Short answers — not legal advice. See our FAQ.

Sometimes — it depends on how title is held, whether an estate is open in Franklin County Probate Court, and what the court or attorney says about authority to sell. We’re not a law firm; many sellers loop in a probate attorney familiar with Franklin County. We can discuss a cash purchase once it’s clear who can sign and what title needs.

We can’t force alignment. If everyone isn’t on the same page, a sale usually waits until decision-making and authority are sorted. When the path is clear, we’re happy to evaluate the property and give a straightforward offer if it fits.

Often yes — we buy as-is. Full houses, dated systems, and deferred maintenance are common with inherited properties. Share photos and what you know; we’ll tell you if we’re a realistic buyer.

We’re investors, not listing agents — there’s no brokerage commission in a direct sale to us. We’ll explain our number so you can compare to a traditional listing if you’re weighing both paths.

It depends on title, probate status, and heir coordination — not just our preference. Some deals move in a couple of weeks when title is clean; others need more time for court or paperwork. We’ll outline what we’re seeing once we have the basics.
