Selling Your Home in the Wake of Loss

When you inherit a home, it stands to reason that you have just experienced a difficult loss. Dealing with that loss is hard enough without adding the stress of managing an estate, which can be a lengthy, arduous, and sometimes confusing endeavor. Here are three ways to make the process a little easier.

If your inherited home is like most people’s, then it probably needs a little TLC. Most inherited homes are older and may not have been updated recently. It’s also probably full of a lifetime’s accumulation of belongings. While a few of these belongings are treasures to be kept, much of it is just stuff that needs out. Dealing with all of this can be one of the biggest stressors of estate management. Luckily, you can sell your inherited property as-is to a home buying company. You grieve; let someone else clean out the house and worry about updates and repairs!

Selling your home the conventional way is anything but simple. It can take months and a whole lot of hassle to complete. First, you have to get the house ready to sell, then you have to find a realtor. Next, you have to get the home listed and endure countless showings. Finally, you wait on an offer while praying that it goes through. This is hard enough when you are selling your own home. When you’re selling an inherited home it can be even harder. Especially if you live long-distance. You can greatly simplify this process by selling your home to a home buying company. 

With an inherited home you don’t have ages to sit around during a conventional home sale. Doing so seriously complicates things. You have to provide regular maintenance on the home and yard, keep paying mortgage payments, and deal with taxes and insurance as well. When you sell your inherited home to a home buying company you can walk away from it all, cash in hand, in as little as one week.

The death of a loved one is a time to grieve, not go through the hassle of a home sale. When you sell to a home buying company you skip out on all of the work and worry and can instead focus on mourning and healing. It’s always nice to realize that you do have choices!
