Selling an inherited Austin home, the simple way

Austin's values have climbed so fast that many inherited homes — a modest place in East Austin, Del Valle, or out toward Pflugerville and Round Rock — are now worth far more than the family expects. That's a blessing, but it can also raise the stakes among heirs about how to handle the sale fairly.

We buy inherited houses across Travis, Williamson, and Hays counties as-is, with no repairs and no agent commissions, and we're used to coordinating with multiple heirs. You can leave the cleanout to us and keep only what matters to you.

Before you assume a long, expensive probate is the only option, it's worth knowing how Texas families commonly transfer and sell an inherited home — here's the part that saves most people thousands.

The part most people don't know

Do you really need probate to sell an inherited house in Travis County?

When someone passes away in Texas, their home doesn't automatically get locked up in a courtroom. If there was no will — or a will that doesn't require formal administration — and the heirs agree on selling, Texas law offers a far simpler path than full probate: an affidavit of heirship.

An affidavit of heirship is a sworn statement — signed by people who knew the family but don't stand to inherit — that identifies the rightful heirs. Once it's recorded in the Travis County real property records, title companies routinely rely on it to establish a clear chain of title so the home can be sold. It's the very same document a probate attorney typically files when an estate like this goes through probate.

Full probate + attorney
often several thousand $
Court process, can take months
Affidavit of heirship
often around $700
Handled through a title attorney, usually much faster

The real difference is cost and time. A full probate with an attorney can run several thousand dollars and take months. When the situation qualifies and the heirs are in agreement, an affidavit of heirship handled through a title attorney is often around $700 — a fraction of the price, and usually far faster.

How we can help you skip the expensive route

We work regularly with title attorneys who can prepare and record an affidavit of heirship when all the heirs agree — so you can sell the home without paying thousands for a full probate. Tell us about the property and the family's situation, and we'll walk you through whether this simpler path is an option. No pressure, no obligation.

This is general information, not legal advice. Whether an affidavit of heirship is the right tool depends on your situation — for example, whether there was a will, whether all the heirs agree, and whether there are debts against the estate. Always confirm with a title company and, where appropriate, a licensed attorney before relying on it.

How it works

Three easy steps, on your timeline — with honest answers at every one.

Tell us about your home

A quick call, text, or the form below. No cleaning, no repairs, no showings to strangers.

Get a fair, honest offer

We look at your situation and the property, then walk you through your real options — including the ones that aren't selling to us.

Choose what's best for you

Pick your closing date, take your time, or walk away. If we buy, we cover typical closing costs.

More than one way

Ways we can buy your home

A single cash number isn't always the best outcome for you. Because we can structure a purchase a few different ways, we can often make an offer that actually fits your situation.

Cash offer

A fair cash price with a fast, certain close. Sold as-is, on your date.

Best for a quick, certain exit

Take over payments

We take over the existing mortgage payments and bring the loan current, so a looming foreclosure can stop and you can move on.

Best for little or no equity

Flexible terms

Seller financing and other structures where you carry terms and receive payments over time — often netting more than a discounted cash price.
