Sell Your Inherited House in California -Skip the Stress, Get Cash Fast
Inheriting a house is supposed to be a gift, but often, it often feels like the opposite. Suddenly, you’re responsible for a property you weren’t planning on – dealing with probate, figuring out maintenance, and possibly managing it from hundreds of miles away.
If the house needs work, the burden grows heavier. If multiple family members are involved, the complications multiply. And if you’re still processing the loss of someone you loved, the last thing you want is a drawn-out real estate transaction when selling an inherited house in California.
Osborne Homes is a real estate investment company that buys inherited properties throughout California. We pay cash, close on your timeline, and purchase homes in any condition – even if probate is still in progress.
We Buy Inherited Houses ‘AS IS’
That means you don’t need to clean out belongings, make repairs, or prepare the property for showings. We take inherited homes exactly as they are, handling everything after closing so you can focus on what matters.

Why Selling an Inherited House the Traditional Way Is Harder Than It Should Be
If you are selling a property that was inherited, listing with a real estate agent probably seems perfectly logical, but the process rarely accounts for the unique challenges these sales involve.
Probate slows everything down. In California, most inherited properties must go through probate before they can be sold. This legal process can take months, and traditional buyers often won’t wait.
The house probably needs work. Inherited homes frequently have deferred maintenance, including outdated systems, neglected repairs, or years of wear and tear. Agents will push for updates before listing, which costs money you may not have budgeted for.
Family dynamics complicate decisions. When multiple heirs are involved, every decision requires agreement. Pricing, repairs, and offers, each step can spark disagreement and delay the sale further.
Distance makes management difficult. If you live out of state, coordinating repairs, showings, and paperwork becomes a logistical challenge. Meanwhile, you’re paying property taxes, utilities, and insurance on a home you can’t use.

How to Sell Your Inherited House Fast in 3 Simple Steps
When you need to sell your inherited house fast, the process shouldn't add to your stress. We've designed ours to be straightforward, even when the situation isn't.
Step 1: Request Your Free Offer.
Call us at (559) 500-3610 or fill out the form on this page. Tell us about the property, its condition, and where you are in the probate process. We'll take it from there.
Step 2: Quick Property Walkthrough.
A local representative visits to assess the home. Remember, we are not looking for reasons to lower our offer; we're simply gathering information to make a fair cash bid based on the property's current state.
Step 3: Close When Probate Allows.
Once probate clears (or immediately, if it's already complete), you choose the closing date. We handle the paperwork, coordinate with all parties, pay closing costs, and put cash in your hands.
Inherited Property? We Handle It All — No Exceptions
When we say we buy inherited houses, we mean properties in every situation — complicated family dynamics, probate delays, and properties that need significant work. Osborne Homes has been purchasing properties since 2007, and we understand the unique considerations of an inherited house sale.
Properties Still in Probate
California probate can take six months to a year or longer. We work with estates throughout the process, making an offer early so you're ready to close as soon as the court approves the sale.
Multi-Heir Inheritances
When siblings or other family members share ownership, disagreements can stall a sale indefinitely. We work with all parties to find solutions that satisfy everyone, making fair offers that simplify the division of proceeds.
Out-of-State Inheritance
Managing an inherited property from another state is exhausting. Coordinating repairs, dealing with local contractors, attending to emergencies, it's a part-time job you didn't sign up for. We made the process of selling an inherited house in California simple, so you don't need to make another trip.
Houses With Deferred Maintenance
Inherited homes often reflect years of aging or declining health of the previous owner. Roof damage, plumbing issues, outdated electrical, and various other problems that accumulated over time. We factor these into the inherited house sale offer and handle repairs ourselves after closing.
Whether you’re selling a property that was inherited last month or one that’s been sitting vacant for years, we’re experienced inherited house buyers who take properties others won’t, and we won’t change our offer after the walkthrough.
Our No-Hassle Guarantee: Your Assurance
Selling a property that was inherited while also grieving is hard enough. The last thing you need is a buyer who wastes your time or changes terms at the last minute.
