WHO WE HELP
Sell an Inherited House in Detroit Without Flying Back to Empty It
The families who need to sell an inherited house in Detroit are rarely standing in it. They are three states away with a parent's home full of forty years of belongings, a probate case that has barely opened, and siblings who each have opinions and none of whom have weekends to spare. That distance is the problem we are built for. We buy the house exactly as it stands, contents included: the family takes the photographs and the keepsakes, and everything else becomes our job after closing. Nobody flies back to run an estate sale. Nobody rents a dumpster. The house your parents kept for decades gets treated with respect by people who clear homes like it every week, and the decision your family actually has to make shrinks to a single written number.
Why Detroit Families Come to Us
Inherited Detroit Properties Come With Complications No Other Buyer Wants to Touch.
Detroit's inherited properties often come with more than just grief.
Back property taxes - Wayne County delinquency rates mean many inherited homes carry 2-5 years of back taxes- Wayne County tax-foreclosure auction - if the property is on the list, there is a hard deadline before equity is lost
- 1920s-era construction - wood frame, old wiring, plumbing that won't pass conventional lender requirements
- Code violations or BSEED compliance issues that block a traditional sale
- Out-of-state heirs managing a Detroit property remotely
We buy with all of it in place. Back taxes paid at closing.

Offer Turnaround
“My uncle's east-side home had four years of back taxes and hadn't been updated since the 70s. Chris made an offer in 24 hours, covered the back taxes at closing, and we were done in three weeks. I was managing all of this from out of state. Couldn't have been simpler.”
Angela T.Warren (Inherited Detroit Property)
“We didn't know the house was on the Wayne County tax-foreclosure list until we checked. Chris closed in 18 days. We walked away with equity we didn't think we'd see.”
Marcus D.Detroit (Estate Sale)
“I live in Atlanta and inherited my dad's house on the east side. BSEED violations, back taxes, the whole thing. Chris handled it all remotely. I never had to fly back to Detroit once.”

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Usually yes. Once the court appoints a personal representative and letters of authority issue, the house can generally be sold while the estate continues. We draft around the letters arriving, so the probate weeks are not wasted weeks.
Everyone holding an ownership interest signs, and the personal representative signs for the estate where authority allows. A written offer with a real number is what moves families from debating opinions to deciding, which is why we lead with one.
No. Take what matters to the family and leave the rest, including furniture, boxes and everything in the basement. The cleanout happens after closing on our side, and it never comes out of the offer as a surprise deduction.
That is normal for an inherited home and changes nothing about the process. The repair figure is itemized in the offer at contractor rates, so the family sees exactly what the condition cost rather than a vague discount.
Two to three weeks once authority and title are clear, or timed to the estate's schedule if slower suits the family. The closing date is chosen by you, and out-of-state heirs can sign remotely through the title company.
Often little or none on a prompt sale, because the stepped-up basis resets the taxable value to the date of death. Keep a written valuation from that date, and confirm your family's specific numbers with a tax professional.
