Can I sell a probate property before probate is complete?

In Texas, you generally need court approval to sell real property that is part of a probate estate. However, we can begin the process — including the offer and paperwork — before court approval is granted, so you're ready to close the moment the court signs off.

Do I need to make repairs before selling?

No. We buy properties in any condition, as-is. Whether the home needs cosmetic updates or major structural work, our offer accounts for the property's current state. You don't spend a dollar on repairs.

How long does the probate sale process take?

The timeline depends largely on the probate court schedule and whether the estate is contested. A straightforward independent administration in Texas can close in 30–90 days. We work within whatever timeline the court sets.

Are there any fees or commissions?

No real estate commissions, no hidden fees. We cover standard closing costs. The cash offer we present is what the estate receives at closing.

What if there are multiple heirs who need to agree?

We're experienced working with multi-heir estates. We'll communicate clearly with all parties and the estate attorney to ensure everyone is informed and aligned before moving forward.

Do you work with probate attorneys?

Yes — we work alongside probate attorneys regularly and consider them key partners. We understand the legal process, respect attorney-client relationships, and make the transaction as smooth as possible for everyone involved.

How the Probate Property Sale Process Works

We've guided hundreds of Houston families through the probate sale process. Here's exactly what to expect — step by step.

01
Reach Out to Us
Call or fill out our form. We'll listen to your situation, answer your questions honestly, and explain how we can help — with zero pressure and no obligation.
Most families contact us shortly after a loved one passes, often before probate is even filed. That's fine — we can walk you through the timeline and what to expect from the court process.
02
We Evaluate the Property
We'll schedule a brief walkthrough of the property at a time that's convenient for you. We assess condition, location, and market value to prepare a fair offer.
No need to clean, repair, or stage anything. We buy properties in any condition — from move-in ready to properties that need significant work. Our offer reflects the true as-is value.
03
Receive a Fair Cash Offer
Within 48 hours of our walkthrough, we'll present a transparent, no-obligation cash offer. We'll explain exactly how we arrived at the number.
Our offers are based on comparable sales, property condition, and current Houston market data. We don't lowball — we want to build a long-term relationship with the estate attorney community.
04
We Handle the Paperwork
Once you accept, our team coordinates with the probate attorney, title company, and court to prepare all closing documents.
We're experienced working within Texas probate law. We know what the court requires, how to handle heirship affidavits, and how to work around court approval timelines.
05
Close on Your Timeline
We close when the estate is ready — as fast as 14 days or whenever probate court approves. You receive cash at closing, with no commissions or hidden fees.
We work around court schedules, not the other way around. If the estate needs more time, we'll wait. Our goal is a smooth, stress-free closing for the entire family.
