Inherited a Property? Sell It Fast Without the Headaches.
Dealing with probate, out-of-state logistics, and a house that needs work is overwhelming. A cash offer lets you skip repairs, skip showings, and close on your timeline.
You can sell an inherited property in Florida as-is for cash, typically closing in 14-21 days after probate authority is established. The stepped-up basis means minimal capital gains tax, and cash buyers handle the property in whatever condition it's in — no cleanout, no repairs, no staging.
Why Heirs Choose Cash Sales
Inherited homes often have years of deferred maintenance. The roof is old, the plumbing is outdated, and the interior hasn't been updated since the 1980s. Listing with an agent means spending $15,000-$40,000 on repairs before a single showing — money most heirs don't have or don't want to invest in a property they're selling anyway.
Meanwhile, the carrying costs add up: property taxes, insurance, utilities, lawn care. For a typical inherited Florida home, that's $1,200-$2,800 per month. A cash sale stops those costs in 2-3 weeks instead of 3-6 months.

Inherited Property FAQ
Can I sell an inherited house before probate is complete?
In most cases, the Personal Representative can sell property during probate with court approval. For estates under $150,000 (effective July 1, 2026 via HB 1337), summary administration can be completed in 4-10 weeks, allowing faster sale.
Do I need to clean out or repair an inherited house before selling?
No. Cash buyers purchase inherited homes as-is — furniture, personal belongings, deferred maintenance and all. You don't need to spend a dime on cleanout or repairs.
What about capital gains tax on an inherited property?
Inherited property receives a stepped-up basis to the fair market value at the date of death. If you sell shortly after inheriting, your capital gains tax liability is typically minimal or zero.
What if there are multiple heirs who disagree about selling?
Florida allows a partition action (FL Statute 64.031) when co-heirs disagree. However, this is expensive and time-consuming. A cash offer gives all parties a clear number to evaluate, often resolving disagreements faster than litigation.
