Inheriting a house is rarely simple. There’s grief, paperwork, family to coordinate, and a property that keeps costing money every month it sits. Pima County Home Buyer buys inherited houses anywhere in Tucson and Pima County for cash, in whatever condition they’re in, so the family can settle the estate without repairs, cleanouts or months of showings.
Call or text (520) 900-8875 to talk it through. There’s no obligation, and you’ll get a straight answer.
Where you might be in the process
- Probate hasn’t been opened yet. We can look at the house and give you a number now, so the family knows its options before anyone goes to court.
- Probate is open in Pima County Superior Court. Once the personal representative has letters of appointment, they can usually sign to sell. In many informal probates no court hearing is needed for the sale.
- The house was in a trust. The successor trustee can often sell without probate at all.
- It’s a small estate. If the person’s Arizona real estate is worth $300,000 or less after liens, the heirs may be able to use a small estate affidavit instead of full probate, starting six months after the death.
Every estate is different. This is general information, not legal advice, so check your situation with an Arizona probate attorney.
Why families sell inherited houses to us
- Nothing to clean out. Take the keepsakes and leave the rest of the furniture, clothes and garage full of stuff.
- No repairs. An older roof, original plumbing, a dated kitchen or code problems don’t need fixing first.
- Easy for heirs who live out of state. Most of the paperwork can be signed remotely.
- One clear number. A firm cash offer makes it easier for brothers, sisters and other heirs to agree.
- The carrying costs stop. Property taxes, insurance, utilities and HOA dues end at closing.
- Your timeline. Close quickly, or wait until the court paperwork is ready.
How selling to us works
- Tell us about the house. Call, text or fill out the form. A few minutes is all it takes.
- We take a look. We walk through the house with you, in person, and answer your questions.
- Get a clear cash offer. No obligation, no pressure. If it works for you, you pick the closing date.
- Close with an Arizona title company. Escrow handles the paperwork and pays off any mortgage or liens, and you get your money at closing.
Inherited house questions
Can we sign a contract before probate is finished?
Often you can agree on an offer early, but the sale usually can’t close until the personal representative has authority from the court. We plan the closing around that date.
What if there’s still a mortgage or a reverse mortgage?
It’s paid off from the sale at closing, like any other sale. Reverse mortgages usually come due after the borrower passes away, so it’s worth talking to us early.
Do the heirs have to agree?
Whoever has legal authority to sell has to sign. If the family disagrees, talk with your attorney before signing anything.
Do you buy houses outside Tucson?
Yes. We buy across Pima County, including Marana, Oro Valley, Vail, Sahuarita, Green Valley and the west side.
