Who this is for
- You’re the personal representative (executor) of an estate, or you will be soon.
- You and your siblings inherited a house together and want a simple, fair way to split it.
- You live out of the area and can’t keep flying back to manage repairs, utilities and an empty house.
- The house is full of a lifetime of belongings and you don’t know where to start.
- The house needs work, and nobody in the family wants to take on a remodel.
How we help
We buy the house as it is. You don’t have to fix anything, clean it out or hold an estate sale first. Take what matters to your family and leave the rest. There are no fees and no commissions, and we pay the closing costs.
We can also work around probate. If the court process will take a while, we can agree on a price now and set the closing for when the personal representative has authority to sign. If family members are spread out, the title company can usually arrange for each person to sign where they live.
How it works in 3 steps
- Tell us about the house. Fill out the form or call. We’ll ask about the property and where the estate is in the process.
- Get a fair cash offer. We look at the house and recent sales nearby and usually make an all-cash offer within 24 hours. There’s no obligation.
- Close when the estate is ready. In as little as 7 days if everything is in place, or on the date that fits the probate timeline.

Selling to us vs. listing an inherited house
| Selling to Backyard Home Buyers | Listing with an agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Cleaning out belongings | Leave what you don’t want | Usually has to be emptied and staged |
| Repairs | None, we buy as-is | Often needed to attract buyers |
| Managing an empty house | Short, with a set closing date | Utilities, insurance and upkeep until it sells |
| Commissions and fees | None. We pay the closing costs | Commission, plus the seller usually pays some closing costs |
| Price | A fair cash price for the house as it is | Often higher if the house is updated |
If the house is in great shape and the family has time, listing may bring more. If you want it handled simply, a cash offer is worth comparing.
Washington and Idaho notes (general, not legal advice)
In both states, the person who can sell an estate’s house is usually the personal representative appointed through probate. In many Washington estates the personal representative can sell without a separate court hearing. Idaho has its own probate process, and timing depends on where the estate is in it. If the house was held in a living trust, the trustee may be able to sell without probate. Every estate is different, so confirm with your title company or attorney what applies to yours.
Where we buy
We buy inherited houses throughout Spokane and Spokane County, Coeur d’Alene and Kootenai County, and the Tri-Cities, including Kennewick, Pasco and Richland, where we work from photos so you don’t have to make the trip.

Inherited house FAQs
Can I sell an inherited house before probate is finished?
Often you can agree on a sale during probate and close once the personal representative has authority to sign. Whether any court approval is needed depends on the estate and the state. Confirm with your title company or attorney.
Do I have to clean out the house before selling it to you?
No. Take anything you want to keep and leave the rest. We buy the house as-is.
What if several family members inherited the house?
Usually everyone with an ownership interest, or the personal representative on behalf of the estate, signs the sale. The title company can arrange for people in different places to sign where they live.
Do I owe taxes when I sell an inherited house?
It depends on your situation. Talk with a CPA or tax professional before you sell, and confirm closing details with your title company or attorney.
How fast can you close on an inherited house?
In as little as 7 days once the estate is ready to sign, or on a later date that fits the probate timeline.
