Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell an inherited house in MO before probate is complete?
In many cases, yes. Depending on how the property was titled and your state's probate laws, you may be able to sell during the probate process. We work with your probate attorney to navigate the requirements in Missouri.
Do I need to clean out the inherited property before selling?
No. We buy the property with everything inside. You do not need to sort through belongings, hire a junk removal service, or clean the home.
What if there are multiple heirs on the inherited property?
We work with multiple heirs regularly. All parties with legal interest in the property simply sign at closing. We can also work with estate administrators and attorneys to coordinate.
Do I have to pay capital gains tax on an inherited house in MO?
Inherited properties receive a stepped-up cost basis as of the date of death. This means you typically only owe capital gains on appreciation that occurs after you inherit the property. Consult a tax professional for your specific situation.
What if the inherited property has deferred maintenance or damage?
We buy as-is regardless of condition. Roof damage, outdated plumbing, mold, foundation issues — none of it affects whether we will make an offer.
How long does it take to sell an inherited property in Kansas City?
Once probate requirements are met, we can close in as few as 7 to 14 days. If probate is still pending, we can have our offer ready so you close immediately once the court approves.
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.”
