Every pin is a property we bought and funded ourselves. The inherited ones are spread right across the metro, because families end up with houses wherever their parents happened to settle — Fifth Ward, Near Northside, South Park, Quail Valley, Deer Park, Freeport.
The family inherited a house that had been empty long enough for someone else to move into it. On top of that there were several heirs who needed to agree before anything could happen. It is the kind of situation most buyers walk away from. We worked through both and closed in 24 days.
Several family members inherited the property and the discussion went on long enough that the house deteriorated while it was being had. Nobody was being difficult; they simply could not reach agreement. We bought it as-is in 28 days, which ended the carrying costs for everyone involved.
An inherited house that had been vacant for years and needed far more work than the family wanted to take on. No retail buyer's lender would have financed it in that condition. We bought it exactly as it stood, in 31 days.
In most cases the estate cannot transfer clear title until probate has moved far enough along. How long that takes in Texas depends on whether there was a will, whether it was contested, and how quickly the court moves. Meanwhile the house sits, and the bills do not.
Two or three siblings inherit a house together. One wants to sell now, one wants to keep it, one cannot be reached. Nothing moves, and usually one person ends up carrying the taxes and insurance on their own while everyone decides.
A large share of the inherited homes we buy belong to someone in another city or another state. Managing repairs, lawn care, a break-in or a code violation from four hundred miles away is genuinely difficult, and flying back repeatedly is expensive.
Forty years of belongings, and nobody has had the time — or the heart — to sort through it. Most agents will tell you it has to be emptied and cleaned before it can be listed. That is often the single thing that stops people from starting at all.
Property taxes, utilities, lawn maintenance, and homeowners insurance that usually gets more expensive once a house is recorded as vacant. Empty houses also attract attention — we have bought inherited homes with squatters in them and with copper stripped out of the walls.
Heirs have jobs, families and homes of their own, often in other cities. Nobody has spare months to give to a house nobody lives in, and the person with the most time usually ends up carrying it alone.
Every property featured is a real home we’ve helped close and fund. Before any property or story is published on our website, we obtain the seller’s permission—nothing is shared without their consent. If you ever want to update or remove your story in the future, simply call us at (346) 360-4444, and we’ll take care of it promptly.
Inherited properties we have purchased are spread across the whole metro, not just one corner of it.
From Fifth Ward and Near Northside to Westbury, Sunnyside, South Park, Mission Bend, Memorial West and Spring Shadows — and out to Missouri City, Richmond, Baytown, Deer Park, The Woodlands and Freeport. If the house is within about a two hour drive of Houston, we will look at it.
Take what matters to you and leave the rest exactly where it is. Furniture, paperwork, a garage nobody has opened in years. We handle all of it after closing.
We buy as-is. Foundation movement, a failed roof, fire or flood damage, decades of deferred maintenance — none of it needs fixing before we buy.
There is no commission and we cover standard closing costs. The figure we agree is the figure the estate receives.
