Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell an inherited duplex in Fairfield without going through probate?
It depends on how the property was titled. In many cases with a transfer-on-death deed or living trust, probate is not required. We work with estate attorneys to determine the fastest path to sale.
Do all heirs need to agree to sell the inherited duplex?
Generally yes — all parties with ownership interest must agree to the sale. We have experience working with multiple heirs and can help coordinate the process.
Will I pay capital gains tax on the inherited duplex?
Inherited properties typically receive a stepped-up cost basis to the date-of-death value, which can significantly reduce or eliminate capital gains. Consult a tax professional for your specific situation.
Can I sell my duplex in Fairfield with tenants still living there?
Yes. We buy duplexes with tenants in place. You do not need to evict or wait for leases to expire. We honor existing lease agreements.
How do you value a duplex versus a single-family home?
Duplexes are valued based on both comparable sales and rental income potential. We analyze current rents, market rents, condition, and location to determine our offer.
What if only one unit of my duplex is occupied?
Partial occupancy does not affect our ability to purchase. Whether both units are rented, one is vacant, or both are empty, we make an offer based on the property's full potential.
What Our Sellers Say
“My mom passed and I inherited her place in Antioch. It needed a ton of work and I live out of state so I couldn't deal with contractors or showings. They came out, looked at it, and had a number for me the next day. We closed in 9 days. The whole thing was so much easier than I expected.”
Inherited Property
“Honestly I was skeptical at first because I'd heard horror stories about cash buyers lowballing people. But they explained exactly how they came up with the number and it was fair. We were behind on payments and they got everything done in a week. No last-minute changes, no surprises at closing.”
Avoided Foreclosure
“My husband got transferred to Dallas and we had about three weeks to figure out the house. A friend told us about EasyOffer. They gave us a cash offer that same afternoon and worked around our move date. We closed 11 days later without having to do a single showing or open house.”
