Why Selling an Inherited Home Feels Complicated

Most inherited properties come with challenges that slow down a traditional sale:

  • The home needs repairs or updates

  • Multiple heirs must agree

  • Probate is still in progress

  • Mortgage, taxes, or utilities are piling up

  • You live out of state

  • You don’t want to list with showings, inspections, or delays

You’re not alone – and you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

A Simple, Supportive Way to Sell

Even when probate slows things down, the process doesn’t have to feel confusing or heavy. We guide you through each stage, so you always know what’s next.

Step 1 – A Real Conversation

We start by understanding your situation — where you are in probate, what the family needs, and what timeline feels realistic. No pressure. No judgment. Just clarity.

Step 2 – A Fair Cash Offer

We can make an offer before probate is complete, based on the home exactly as it sits. This gives you answers early, even if the court isn’t ready for the sale yet.

Step 3 – You Choose the Timeline

If probate is finished, we can close quickly.
If probate is still in progress, we simply pause and align with the court’s timeline. You’re never rushed, and you’re never left guessing.

Step 4 – We Handle the Hard Parts

From coordinating with your probate attorney to managing paperwork, title work, and clean‑out, we take the weight off your shoulders. You focus on your family – we handle the logistics.

I have nothing but great things to say about Better Path Homes. Marcus was the first person I spoke with and has been there every step of the way. They offered a fair cash price, and gave me plenty of time to find my new home. Marcus has been there for any question I had through the whole process. Would highly recommend!
