Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell an inherited fixer-upper in DeSoto 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 fixer-upper?
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 fixer-upper?
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.
How much less will I get for a fixer-upper versus a renovated home in DeSoto?
Our offer reflects the property's current as-is value. However, when you factor in renovation costs, contractor timelines, carrying costs, and agent commissions avoided, the net difference is often much smaller than expected.
What counts as a fixer-upper for your buying criteria?
Any property needing repairs — from cosmetic updates to major structural work. Outdated kitchens, damaged roofs, foundation issues, fire damage — we buy it all.
Can I sell a fixer-upper that has been partially renovated?
Yes. Whether you started a renovation and ran out of budget, or the previous owner left work half-done, we buy properties in any state of renovation.
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.”
