You didn't plan for this. Whether probate is done or just starting, Cash Home Advisors buys inherited houses across Texas as-is — no fees, no cleanout, on your family's timeline.
An inherited house comes with more than a set of keys. There is often a mortgage or tax bill still ticking, a yard that needs mowing, a lifetime of belongings inside, and family members — sometimes in three different states — who all need to agree on what happens next. And all of it lands while you are still grieving.
If you have decided that keeping the house does not make sense, Cash Home Advisors can make the selling part simple. We are a DFW-based company that buys houses across Texas directly, as the actual buyer, with our own funds. No listing, no showings, no repairs, and no agent commissions or fees taken out of your proceeds.
Our offer math is straightforward, and we show it to you line by line: offer = what the house would sell for fixed up − repair costs − our selling costs − a fair margin. You can question any number in that equation. If a repair estimate looks off, tell us why and we will look again.
Every inherited-house sale in Texas runs through the same three questions: who legally owns the property now, who has to sign, and what happens to everything inside.
Texas is friendlier here than most states. When there is a valid will, independent administration is common: the court gives the executor authority to handle the estate, including selling the house, with relatively little ongoing supervision. When there is no will, families sometimes use an affidavit of heirship to document who inherited, though title companies have their own requirements for accepting one. Which route fits your family depends on your facts, so talk to a Texas probate attorney — this page is general information, not legal advice. If you do not have an attorney, your title company can often point you to ones they see regularly.
It is common for the person handling a DFW or Texas property to live in California, Chicago, or overseas. That is fine. We can walk the property for you, send photos and our repair notes, and the title company can arrange remote or mail-out signings so nobody has to fly in for closing.
This surprises people: take the photo albums, the paperwork, and anything with meaning, and leave the rest. Furniture, clothes, the shed, the second refrigerator in the garage — we buy houses with everything still in them and handle the cleanout after closing.
Listing can absolutely be the right call for a move-in-ready house when the heirs have time and agree on strategy. But listing an inherited house usually means months of holding costs — taxes, insurance, utilities, lawn care — plus repairs the estate has to fund up front and commissions at the end. A direct sale trades some top-line price for certainty: one buyer, one clear number, no financing contingency, no middleman assigning your contract to someone else, and a closing date the family controls. If we think listing serves you better, we will say so — we would rather you make an informed choice than a fast one.
If you have inherited a house anywhere in Texas and want to know what a cash sale would actually look like, call Cash Home Advisors at (817) 635-0743 or email adrian@cashhomeadvisors.com. We will listen to your situation, explain the numbers behind any offer we make, and give you a real timeline. If probate is not finished yet, that is okay — call anyway, and we will help you understand what usually has to happen before a sale can close.
Usually the estate needs legal authority to transfer title first — often through independent administration when there is a will, or another route such as an affidavit of heirship when there is not. We can sign a contract while probate is still in progress and set the closing date for when the court work is done. A Texas probate attorney can tell you exactly what your situation requires; this is general information, not legal advice.
Yes. Generally everyone with an ownership interest signs, and the title company can arrange remote or mail-out signings for heirs in other states. Nobody has to travel to Texas to close — we handle the property walk-through and send photos and repair notes so every heir sees what we see.
No. Take the items your family wants to keep — photos, documents, keepsakes — and leave everything else. Furniture, clothes, appliances, the boxes in the attic: we buy the house as-is with the contents included and handle the cleanout after closing.
Inherited property is often treated differently for tax purposes than a house you bought yourself, and the outcome depends on the property's value when you inherited it, how long you have held it, and your own situation. We cannot give tax advice — talk to a CPA or tax advisor before deciding. What we can do is show you every number in our offer so your advisor has clean figures to work with.
The same transparent math as every offer we make: the price the house would bring fully repaired, minus repair costs, minus our costs to sell, minus a fair margin. We walk you through each line, and you are free to challenge any of them. Because we buy directly with our own funds, no commissions or fees come out of your side at closing.
No fees, no pressure — and help in your language.
