Yes, in most cases.
Not always. Some estates choose direct buyers for speed and simplicity.
I received a Postcard from Darren. Grandpa left me a home after he died. It needed lots of repairs and required going thru the probate process. I didn’t have the funds for it. We discovered an issue with title and he stuck with me through getting it fixed. Darren was the best, he took care of all of the expenses. He is very patient and willing to work through any issues. My brother lived in it, paid no rent, would not get a job either. The home needed a new roof and more. He closed in 2 weeks, fixed the roof and worked out some thing with my brother. He even went above and beyond. Fast forward my brother got a job, rented from Darren for a year. The next year Darren sold it back to him at a reasonable price

Q Will you be listing my inherited home on the MLS or actually buying it?
A Great question. We’re not agents, and we don’t list homes. As a veteran-owned company with over 30 years of experience, we are professional home buyers: We buy inherited homes in Sacramento that meet our purchasing criteria. We specialize in probate, trust, and inheritance situations, which make up over 70% of our purchases. After buying your property, we may renovate it for another homeowner or add it to our rental portfolio.
Q Do you pay fair prices for properties?
A Many of the homes we purchase are below market value (we do this so we can resell at a profit to another home owner). We aim for a fair discount on properties, particularly inherited homes that may need work or have title complications. However, in our experience, many sellers dealing with inherited properties aren’t necessarily expecting a large “windfall” but rather appreciate our ability to offer cash, close quickly (no waiting for financing), and handle properties as-is—even those full of belongings or needing major repairs. If you value getting your inherited home sold fast without any effort or expense on your part, let’s see if we can reach a fair win-win price. (Besides, our no-obligation pricing commitment means that you do not have to move forward with the offer we give…but it’s good to know what we’re offering!)
Q How do you determine the price to offer on my mobile home?
A Great question, and we’re an open book: our process is very straightforward. As licensed California Brokers with an A+ BBB rating, we look at the location of the property, what repairs are needed, the current condition of the property, and the value of comparable homes sold in the area recently. For inherited properties, we also consider any probate complications, outstanding liens, or trust requirements. We take many pieces of information into consideration…and come up with a fair price that works for us and works for you too.
Q Are there any fees or commissions to work with you?
A This is what makes us stand out from the traditional method of selling your inherited home: there are NO fees or commissions when you sell your home to us. We’ll make you an offer, and if it’s a fit then we’ll buy your home (and we’ll often pay for the closing costs too!). We can even advance funds for probate attorney fees when needed. No hassle. No fees. We make our money after we pay for repairs on the home (if any) and sell it for a profit (we’re taking all of the risks here on whether we can sell it for a profit or not, once we buy the home from you…the responsibility is ours and you walk away without the burden of the property and its payments…and often with cash in your hand).
Q How are you different from a real estate agent?
A Real estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. The agent shows the properties to prospective buyers if there are any (the average time to sell a property in many markets right now is 6-12 months) and then takes a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. Oftentimes, the agent’s commission is 3-6% of the sale price of your home (so if it’s a $100,000 mobile home, you’ll pay between $3,000 – $6,000 in commissions to an agent). Agents provide a great service for those that can wait 6-12 months to sell and who don’t mind giving up some of that sale price to pay for the commissions. But that’s where we’re different: we’re not agents, we’re specialized inheritance home buyers. We don’t list homes. We partner with top local probate attorneys to streamline the process for inherited properties. Since we’re actually the ones buying the home from you with cash, we can make a decision to buy your home within a couple of days (sometimes the same day), even if it’s full of belongings or has title issues. We take on the risk and responsibility so you can move forward with peace of mind.
Q Is there any obligation when I submit my info?
A There is absolutely zero obligation for you. Once you tell us a bit about your inherited property, we’ll take a look at things, maybe set up a call with you to find out a bit more about your situation (whether it’s probate, trust, or divorce-related), and make you an all-cash offer that’s fair for you and fair for us. We provide confidential, professional support throughout the process. From there, it’s 100% your decision on whether or not you’d like to sell your home to us… and we won’t hassle you, won’t harass you… it’s 100% your decision and we’ll let you decide what’s right for you and your family.
We would love to hear from you! Please fill out this form and we will get in touch with you shortly.
