Sell an Inherited House
Inheriting a house in Pittsburgh isn’t always simple. Distance, siblings splitting the property, repairs, back taxes, and
probate paperwork all pile up fast. Fast Close Pittsburgh buys inherited and probate homes across Western Pennsylvania, in any condition, for cash, on your timeline. No repairs, no cleaning out, no agent fees, no waiting on the open market.
We’re a local, family-run buyer serving Allegheny, Washington, and Westmoreland Counties. We know Pennsylvania’s probate process and can often close in 7 to 14 days once the estate is cleared to sell.
Yes. You can sell an inherited house in Pittsburgh, but if the property still needs to pass through probate, the estate usually has to be opened and an executor or administrator appointed before the sale can close. In many cases the home can be listed or put under contract during probate, with the closing timed to when the court authorizes the sale.
If probate is already complete and the title is in your name, the sale works like any other cash sale and can move quickly. If probate is still open, we can put the property under a purchase agreement and coordinate the closing around the court and title timeline. Either way, you do not have to wait for the entire estate to settle before starting.
When siblings or several heirs inherit one property, everyone on title generally needs to agree to sell and sign at closing. A single cash offer with one clear number often makes that agreement easier, because there are no repair negotiations or financing contingencies to argue over. We are used to working with multiple owners and out-of-state family members.
Inherited homes sometimes carry back property taxes, a mortgage, medical liens, or code violations. These are common and usually solvable. Our title partners identify what is owed, and those balances are typically paid from the sale proceeds at closing, so you are not paying out of pocket.
Probate is the legal process of settling a deceased person’s estate, including transferring their real estate to the heirs. In Pennsylvania, probate is handled through the Register of Wills in the county where the person lived, such as Allegheny, Washington, or Westmoreland County.
If there is a will, it names an executor. If there is no will, the court appoints an administrator. This person has the authority to manage estate assets and, in most cases, to sell the real estate on behalf of the estate. Confirming who holds that authority is usually the first step before a sale can move forward.
A straightforward Pennsylvania probate often takes several months to a year, though simpler estates can move faster. You do not always have to wait for the estate to fully close to sell the house. Getting the property under contract early can save months of carrying costs like taxes, insurance, and utilities.
Some estates qualify for simplified handling, and property held in a living trust or owned jointly with right of survivorship may pass outside probate entirely. Because every estate is different, we always recommend confirming your specific situation with a probate attorney. We can point you to local attorneys we work with if you need one.
An inherited property is often the last thing you want to manage from a distance or during a hard time. Selling to a local cash buyer removes most of the work and uncertainty from the process.
You do not need to fix anything, paint, or even empty the house. Leave behind whatever you do not want. We buy inherited homes exactly as they are, including properties that need heavy repair or have sat vacant.
Because we buy directly, there are no real estate commissions, no listing fees, and no closing costs charged to you. The offer we make is the amount you receive from your sale, with liens and estate balances handled through the
settlement.
Listing an inherited home means showings, inspections, and the risk of a buyer’s financing falling through. Our offers are backed by our own funds, so once the estate is cleared to sell, we can close in as little as 7 to 14 days on a date that works for you.
We keep the process simple and transparent from the first call to closing day.
Reach out with the address and a few basic details. A short conversation is usually enough for us to understand the home, the estate’s status, and how we can help.
After a quick walkthrough, we present a fair, no-obligation cash offer, often within 24 hours. We explain how we arrived at the number so it makes sense to you and any other heirs.
Our title company handles the paperwork and coordinates with the probate process if needed. You pick a closing date that fits the estate and your family, and you receive your proceeds at closing.

Our core service area covers Allegheny County, Washington County, and Westmoreland County, including the South Hills and surrounding communities. We also purchase homes in Beaver, Fayette, Butler, Greene, and Armstrong Counties.

Often yes. Once an executor or administrator is appointed, the property can usually be put under contract, with the closing timed to when the court authorizes the sale. You do not always have to wait for the full estate to settle.
No. We buy inherited homes as-is. You can leave behind any furniture or belongings you do not want, and you do not need to make a single repair.
Once the estate is cleared to sell and title is clear, we can often close in as little as 7 to 14 days, or on a later date if that works better for your family.
Back taxes, mortgages, and most liens are typically paid out of the sale proceeds at closing through the title company, so you usually do not pay them out of pocket.
All heirs on title generally need to agree to the sale and sign at closing. A single cash offer usually makes that easier, and we regularly work with multiple and out-of-state owners.
