If you’re on this page, you inherited a home and are looking to sell your house fast. But how do you know what the house is worth, and how can you avoid excess fees? That’s where we come in.
Often times sellers require probate work to be completed. Going at it on your own can be a challenging endeavor if you have no experience with the process. Some attorneys charge crazy fees and take many months or even years to close. At 3 Step Home Sale, we’ll use one of our attorney’s, pay the retainer upfront, and help you navigate the process all the way to closing. We will cover the upfront probate legal fees that our attorneys will require.

3 Step Home Sale is a respected house buying service. We are a highly experienced home buying team that is focused on helping homeowners like you to sell your house fast, without any hassle, games, or fees, and we’re committed to delivering this service with transparency and integrity throughout the entire experience.
We buy houses in Virginia, pay cash for homes in Maryland, and help homeowners get cash for your house in Washington D.C., and surrounding areas — offering fast, as-is cash offers and closings.
Again, we’re not agents who are trying to sell your house to others. We are professional house buyers, which means we have our own cash and are ready to buy. We can even make you an offer on the spot. Once we make you an offer you can choose whether or not you want to take that offer (and you can even shop it around if you want, talk it over with others, and think about it before deciding). We have a strict no-pressure policy, and our many previous clients love it and are proof that it works.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell an inherited house before probate finishes?
In many cases you can start preparing the property for sale during probate, but the transaction usually cannot close until probate is completed and ownership is legally transferred.
Do all heirs have to agree to sell the property?
If multiple people inherit the property, they typically must agree on the sale. An executor usually manages the process but works with all beneficiaries.
Do I have to repair the inherited house first?
No. Many inherited homes are older or need repairs. Cash buyers often purchase properties as-is, so you can avoid renovations or cleaning.
How long does it take to sell an inherited house?
Traditional sales may take months. Cash buyers can often close in 7–21 days, depending on the title and probate process.
What if the house still has a mortgage?
The mortgage balance can usually be paid off from the sale proceeds when the property closes.
