Sell Your Inherited Property in Tampa Bay - We Make It Easy

The South Tampa Siblings - Parents' Home of 45 Years

Three siblings inherited their parents' South Tampa home after their mother passed. The 1965 house needed $75,000 in repairs - new roof, plumbing, electrical, and complete updating. They lived in different states and couldn't manage repairs or cleanout of 45 years of belongings. We bought the house for $268,000 cash, handled the complete cleanout (donating usable items to local charities), and closed in 14 days. Each sibling received $89,333 without the stress of repairs or estate sales. The daughter told us: "You lifted an enormous burden during our grieving. We couldn't have done this without you."

The Brandon Widow - Husband's Investment Property

Maria inherited her late husband's rental property in Brandon but couldn't manage tenants while grieving. The tenants had damaged the property and stopped paying rent. Eviction would take months and cost thousands. We bought the property with tenants in place for $145,000, handled the eviction ourselves, and gave Maria 30 days to remove any personal items she wanted. She received cash to support herself without the stress of being a landlord during the hardest time of her life.

The Lakeland Estate - 8 Heirs, 1 House

When their aunt passed, 8 cousins inherited a Lakeland property equally. Some wanted to sell immediately, others wanted to keep it, and two lived out of state. The house sat vacant for 9 months while they argued, costing $1,200/month in taxes, insurance, and maintenance. We negotiated with all 8 heirs, got everyone to agree, and bought the house for $185,000. After paying off the remaining $42,000 mortgage and $8,000 in back taxes, each heir received $16,875. Everyone was relieved to have it resolved.

The St. Petersburg Surprise - Hidden Debts Discovered

Tom inherited his father's St. Petersburg home, discovering it had a $65,000 home equity loan, $12,000 in unpaid property taxes, and $8,000 in credit card liens. The house was worth $210,000 but needed $30,000 in repairs. After all debts, he'd net almost nothing through traditional sale. We bought it for $178,000, paid all liens and debts at closing, and Tom walked away with $93,000 instead of the nothing he expected. We handled all the complex paperwork and lien negotiations.

🏚️ Deferred Maintenance & Major Repairs

Many inherited properties haven't been updated in decades. Original kitchens from the 1960s, failing roofs, outdated electrical, cast iron plumbing - repairs easily exceed $50,000-$100,000. Getting contractors, managing repairs from out of state, and paying upfront costs is overwhelming. We buy as-is, handling all repairs after purchase. You don't spend a penny.

📦 Lifetime of Belongings

Clearing out a loved one's belongings is emotionally draining. Estate sale companies charge 35-50% commission. Junk removal costs $2,000-$5,000. Storage units cost $200+/month. We handle complete cleanouts respectfully - taking what you want to keep, donating usable items to charity, and properly disposing of the rest. No cost to you.

⚖️ Probate Complications

Florida probate takes 6-12 months minimum. Attorney fees run $3,000-$10,000. Meanwhile, you're paying property costs monthly. We work with probate attorneys to expedite sales, can purchase subject to probate completion, and handle all requirements. We've navigated hundreds of probate sales successfully.

👥 Multiple Heir Disagreements

When multiple people inherit property, conflicts arise. Some want to sell, others keep it. Some need money now, others can wait. We mediate professionally, get everyone aligned, and ensure each heir receives their share fairly. We've successfully coordinated sales with up to 12 heirs.

📍 Out-of-State Heir Challenges

Managing a Florida property from another state is nearly impossible. Flying down multiple times costs thousands. Finding trustworthy contractors remotely is risky. We handle everything locally, send videos/photos of belongings you might want, and can close entirely remotely. You may never need to visit the property.

Q: Can you buy the house if probate isn't complete?

Yes! We work with your probate attorney to structure the sale properly. We can enter a purchase agreement now and close once probate completes, or in some cases, petition the court for early sale approval. This stops the monthly bleeding of taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs. We've handled hundreds of probate sales and know exactly how to navigate the process efficiently.

Q: What if the house is full of belongings?

We buy houses with everything inside. Take what you want, leave the rest. We handle complete cleanouts respectfully - photographing items you might want, donating usable goods to local charities, and properly disposing of the rest. This service alone saves families $3,000-$8,000 and weeks of emotional work. Many families take photos, important documents, and a few sentimental items, leaving everything else to us.

Q: How do you handle multiple heirs?

We're experienced in coordinating with multiple heirs. We communicate transparently with everyone, ensure all parties understand and agree to terms, and work with the estate attorney to properly document everything. At closing, proceeds are distributed according to the will or state law. We've successfully managed sales with up to 12 different heirs across multiple states and even countries. Our process keeps everyone informed and aligned.

Q: What if there are liens or debts on the property?

We handle all liens and debts at closing. Mortgages, home equity loans, tax liens, contractor liens, HOA liens - we've seen it all. We negotiate with lienholders when possible to reduce amounts owed. All debts are paid from sale proceeds at closing, and you receive the remaining equity. If debts exceed value, we can sometimes structure a short sale to avoid estate liability.

Q: Do we need to make repairs before selling?

Absolutely not. Most inherited properties need significant work - that's expected. Dated fixtures, old roofs, original plumbing/electrical, deferred maintenance - we buy as-is. Don't spend money on repairs or even cleaning. We handle everything after purchase. This saves you tens of thousands in repair costs and months of contractor management.

Q: How quickly can you close?

If probate is complete and all heirs agree, we can close in 7 days. If probate is pending, we work with your timeline and attorney. We've closed some inherited property sales in as little as 3 days for urgent situations. However, we're also happy to give you more time if needed - up to 60 days to remove belongings or make arrangements. This is about making it easy for you during a difficult time.
