Inheriting a house in Florida usually arrives with a lot more than just keys. There's grief, paperwork, often siblings or co-heirs in different states, and a property that may have sat untouched for years. If you're trying to figure out the fastest way to sell an inherited house in Tampa Bay without a months-long listing, you're in the right place. We buy inherited homes directly, with cash, and handle every part of the process.
Why heirs sell inherited Tampa Bay homes for cash
Most inherited properties we buy come with at least one of these complications: the heirs live out of state, the home needs significant repairs, multiple siblings have to agree, or the estate is still working through Florida probate. Listing on the open market means showings, repairs, inspections, financing contingencies, and 60+ days of uncertainty. A direct cash sale skips all of that. We make a fair offer based on the property's as-is condition, you pick the closing date, and the proceeds are split among the heirs at closing.
What we handle so you don't have to
Most inherited Tampa Bay homes have years of belongings, deferred maintenance, or both. You don't need to clean any of it out. We buy the property exactly as it sits — leave the furniture, the boxes in the garage, the old appliances. We also work directly with your probate attorney, handle title work, pay off any liens or back taxes at closing, and cover all closing costs. The offer we make is what you walk away with.
How fast can you close?
If the title is clean and the estate has clear authority to sell, we can close in as few as 7 days. When probate is still open, the timeline depends on the court — but we can be ready to close the moment the personal representative receives letters of administration. Most of our inherited-property closings happen within 14 to 30 days from first call.

No pressure, no obligation. Step four: if you accept, we coordinate with your probate attorney and title company, and close on the date you choose.
Frequently asked questions
Can I sell an inherited house in Tampa before probate closes?
In Florida, the personal representative can sell estate property once they have Letters of Administration from the probate court. We routinely close on inherited properties while probate is still open. We work directly with your attorney to coordinate timing.
What if there are multiple heirs and we can't all agree?
This is one of the most common situations we handle. Florida probate has specific rules for selling estate property when heirs disagree, and we can work with the personal representative or the probate court to get the sale done. Call us and we'll walk you through your options.
Do I need to clean out the house before you buy it?
No. We buy inherited properties fully as-is. Leave anything you don't want. We handle the full cleanout after closing.
What if the property has back taxes or liens?
We handle that at closing. Tax liens, code enforcement liens, mortgages, and other claims against the property are paid from the sale proceeds. You don't need to clear them before selling to us.
Will I pay any commissions or fees?
No. There are no realtor commissions, no closing costs charged to you, and no fees of any kind. Our offer is the amount you receive at closing.
