WHO WE HELP

The century-old brick near the Loop comes with paperwork

Much of the housing here went up before 1930, brick and stone-basement homes that have sheltered two or three generations of the same family, which is why so many of the calls we get begin with an estate instead of a listing. We buy houses University City relatives inherit, including the ones where the will is still moving through probate and the heirs are scattered across three time zones. Our office is in Webster Groves, homeowners rate us 4.9 across 368 Google reviews, and we hold an A+ from the BBB. Past that, the work is mostly paperwork, and the paperwork is the part we’re good at.

We buy houses University City probate hasn’t finished with yet

An inherited house rarely arrives alone; it comes with a mortgage that outlived its owner, sixty years of belongings in the attic, siblings holding three different opinions, and a court calendar nobody picked. We work around every piece of that, and we’ve closed sales where the sellers never once set foot in Missouri between the first call and the wire transfer. You take what the family wants to keep and leave everything else, because the cleanout is part of what we absorb. And if the place has been sitting vacant while the estate settles, there’s nothing to fix before you call; the condition is simply what we price.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE

The estate sets the schedule, and the offer holds for it

Probate in Missouri takes the time it takes, and an offer that pushes against a court’s timeline isn’t worth the paper, so ours holds instead. Some heirs type sell my house fast university city into a search bar because the estate genuinely needs the sale closed within the month, and we can move that quickly once the court allows it; others need the number to sit steady for a season while the family talks. We’ve done both at the figure we first wrote down. Bring in the attorney, the siblings, anyone who needs a say, and when the estate is ready, we close.
