    Inherited a NYC house? Here's how to sell it without the chaos.

    Whether it's still in probate, full of decades of stuff, has a sitting tenant, or you live across the country — I buy inherited properties in any condition, in cash, on your timeline.

    If any of these sound like you...

    • Mom or dad passed and left you a house you don't have time to manage
    • You're co-owners with siblings who can't agree what to do
    • The house has been sitting empty and the bills keep coming
    • You live out of state (or out of the country) and the property feels impossible to handle from a distance
    • The house is full of belongings you don't have the energy to clear out
    • There's a tenant in there who isn't leaving
    • Probate is dragging on and you just want a clear answer about what's possible
    • There are back taxes, a mortgage you can't pay, or violations on file
    • You've already talked to a realtor and the house "doesn't show well"

    If you're nodding at any of these — you're not stuck. You have options.

    How this works

    1. We talk. Call or text me at (646) 337-8375 — or fill out the form below. I'll ask a few questions about the property and your situation. Twenty minutes, no pressure.

    2. I make you a cash offer. Usually within 24 hours. As-is. No commissions, no repairs, no clearing out the house, no fixing violations. The number I give you is the number you walk away with at closing, minus standard title costs.

    3. We close on your timeline. Could be a week. Could be three months while probate finishes. I'll work with whatever your attorney says works.

    That's it. No showings. No open houses. No 1099 surprises. No buyer financing falling through.

    Why an investor instead of a realtor?

    A realtor lists the property and waits for a buyer who needs financing, a clean inspection, no estate complications, and a house that "presents well." For inherited properties, that traditional path is often the wrong path:

    • Listing requires repairs and staging you can't fund
    • The estate has to keep paying taxes and insurance while you wait for showings
    • Realtor commission eats 5–6% of the sale
    • Buyers walk away when they learn it's an estate sale
    • You can't actually list until probate progresses far enough

    I'm not a realtor. I'm a real estate investor who buys for cash, takes the property as-is, and handles every part of the closing. I work directly with your estate attorney.

    Common questions

    Can I sell before probate is finished?

    Often yes — but every estate is different. Your attorney will know what stage you're at. I've closed during open probate, after Letters Testamentary, and after final distribution. We'll figure out the right timing.

    The house is a hoarder situation. Do I need to clean it out?

    No. I buy as-is. Take what you want, leave the rest, hand me the keys.

    There's a sibling who doesn't want to sell.

    Common. I'll work with whichever of you has authority — or we wait until the estate gives someone the authority to act.

    Are you a licensed agent?

    No. I'm a real estate investor and cash buyer. I'm not a lawyer, accountant, or real estate agent. Talk to qualified professionals about your specific situation. I just buy houses.
