Sell an inherited house in San Antonio without months of probate friction. We buy inherited and estate homes directly from heirs across Bexar County, with a written cash offer within 48 hours and a close in as little as 7 days. No commissions, no repairs, no cleanout.
A few details, a few minutes, no obligation. We follow up with a written offer within 48 hours of submission.
We built our process around the things sellers tell us are missing from the rest of the industry: clarity, follow-through, and respect for your time.
Share the address and a few details about the home and your situation. The form takes under two minutes. There is no obligation and no credit check.
We research comparable sales, condition, and any encumbrances. If we have questions, we will call.
We present the offer in plain language. Purchase price, who pays which costs, and the proposed timeline.
We close at a Texas title company on the date that works for you. If you need additional time in the home after closing, we can structure that too.
Three numbers we are willing to put in writing. The rest we say in person.
We are built for the properties and circumstances that traditional listings handle poorly. If your situation is below, or close to it, we can help.
A property you did not plan for, often shared between siblings, sometimes hundreds of miles away. We work directly with heirs and probate attorneys without forcing repairs, showings, or out-of-state travel.
Probate timelines, court approvals, and family dynamics each add complexity. We coordinate with probate counsel and structure a purchase that works once the estate is positioned to sell.
When a foreclosure date is approaching, time and clarity matter. We assess your specific situation, walk you through realistic options, and if a sale makes sense, present terms in plain language.
Difficult tenants, deferred maintenance, or simply the desire to exit the rental business. We purchase tenant-occupied properties and properties that need work, without requiring you to deliver a vacant or repaired home.
Vacant, neglected, or overfilled properties are part of our normal scope. We do not require cleanouts, staging, or photographs. Leave behind whatever you do not wish to keep.
The conversation still costs you nothing. Divorce, code violations, relocation, repairs you cannot afford. Tell us what you are working with.
Tell Us About ItWe purchase inherited and estate property across the City of San Antonio, all of Bexar County, and the surrounding San Antonio-New Braunfels MSA. Inside the historic core, across the neighborhoods between Loop 410 and Loop 1604, the suburban ring beyond 1604, and the MSA towns at the metro edge. We understand the historic-district rules that govern homes in King William and Monte Vista, and the military relocation timelines that drive so many San Antonio sales.

Texas has no state inheritance or estate tax, per the Texas Comptroller.

Often, yes. If there is a valid will and no unsecured debts beyond a homestead mortgage, a muniment of title can clear the way in roughly 4 to 8 weeks. With no will, an affidavit of heirship recorded in the Bexar County deed records frequently lets a title company insure the sale. In a formal probate, an independent executor can sell as soon as Letters Testamentary issue. We work with your timeline and your probate counsel rather than around them.
It depends on the estate. An executor named in the will sells under Letters Testamentary, an administrator under Letters of Administration, a beneficiary under a signed muniment of title, and a trustee when the home was held in a living trust. When the house passed to several heirs with no will, the heirs sell together once an affidavit of heirship establishes the chain of ownership. We confirm authority to convey with the title company before any closing.
A house can still be sold without a will. Texas allows an affidavit of heirship, recorded in the Bexar County deed records, to establish who the legal heirs are. Many Texas title companies will insure a sale on a properly executed affidavit, especially once it has been on record long enough to be relied upon. For larger or more complex estates, a determination of heirship through the probate court may be the cleaner path. We will tell you which fits your facts.
When a home passes to multiple heirs as tenants in common, a standard sale needs every heir to sign. If they cannot agree, any co-owner can file a partition action to force a sale, and the Uniform Partition of Heirs’ Property Act gives the other heirs a first right to buy out the selling heir at appraised value. Partition is slow and expensive. A negotiated buyout or an agreed cash sale almost always nets the family more.
Texas has no state inheritance tax and no state estate tax. The only common tax is federal capital gains, and the stepped-up basis usually keeps it small: the home’s basis resets to its fair market value on the date of death, so a sale soon after death often produces a near-zero gain. Confirm the numbers with a CPA, because the result depends on your specific estate.
No. We purchase as-is, in any condition, and remove the contents at closing, so you do not clean, repair, or stage anything. That includes homes with deferred maintenance, dated finishes, fire or water damage, or a lifetime of personal property still inside. For homes in a historic district such as King William or Monte Vista, where exterior changes fall under the city’s Historic and Design Review Commission, an as-is cash sale avoids the renovation-approval process entirely.
Yes. San Antonio is a military city, and many of the heirs we work with are active-duty, deployed, or on orders elsewhere. We coordinate the entire sale remotely through a Texas title company, with remote online notarization where allowed, so you do not have to travel back to Bexar County to close. We can also coordinate multiple heirs signing from different states.
Possibly. In most transactions we close as the buyer of record. In some, we may assign our equitable interest in the contract to a vetted investor partner who closes in our place. Texas Property Code §§ 5.0205 and 5.086 require us to disclose this in writing before any assignment is made. Your purchase price and timeline do not change.
If a direct sale is the right move for your situation, we will tell you. If it is not, we will tell you that too.
