4.8 on GoogleLosing a parent or relative is hard enough. Then comes the house: decades of belongings, repairs nobody kept up with, bills that keep arriving, and family members in different places with different ideas. Many people we talk to just want a clear, fair way to wrap it up.
Sax Properties buys inherited homes directly, as-is. You don’t have to empty the house, fix anything or hold open houses. We make a no-obligation cash offer, usually within 24 hours, and the estate picks the closing date. That gives you room to work through probate and family decisions at your own pace.
This page is for you if…
- You inherited a house and don’t plan to live in it
- The home is full of belongings and you don’t know where to start
- The house needs repairs the estate can’t or won’t pay for
- You live out of the area and can’t manage the property
- Several heirs need to split the proceeds
- Taxes, utilities and insurance are draining the estate every month
“Excellent attention to detail and client care.”
How selling to Sax makes this easier
Leave the belongings
Take what matters to your family and leave the rest. We haul off unwanted items at no charge after closing.
No repairs or showings
We buy the house in its current condition. Nobody has to fix the roof, paint, or keep the place show-ready.
A closing date that fits probate
You choose when we close. That can be as little as 7 days once the estate is ready, or later if the court process needs more time.
Simple math for every heir
We charge zero fees and zero commissions and pay all closing costs. That makes it easier for everyone to see what the estate actually receives.
How probate works in DC, Maryland and Virginia
Washington, DC
Probate in DC runs through the Probate Division of DC Superior Court. The court appoints a personal representative, who has the authority to sell estate property.
Maryland
Maryland estates go through the county Register of Wills, with the Orphans' Court handling disputes and court matters. The personal representative can generally sell real estate under the will or state law. Creditors have 6 months from the date of death to present claims, and estates under $50,000 ($100,000 if a surviving spouse is the sole heir) may qualify as small estates.
Virginia
In Virginia, the Circuit Court clerk in the locality where the person lived qualifies the executor or administrator. Once qualified, that person handles the estate, including any sale of the home.
This is general information, not legal advice. Talk to a probate attorney about your estate’s specific situation, especially if heirs disagree, since co-owners usually must agree to sell.

Common questions
Can I sell a house that’s still in probate?
Often, yes. The person with legal authority over the estate, usually the personal representative or executor, signs for the sale. Your attorney can confirm when the estate is ready, and we can set the closing date around that.
Do I have to clean out the house first?
No. Take the items your family wants to keep and leave the rest. We remove what’s left at no charge.
What if my siblings and I don’t agree on selling?
Heirs who inherit together usually need to agree before a sale. A written cash offer with no fees or commissions can make the conversation easier, because everyone sees the same number. If there’s a real dispute, talk to an attorney.
I live out of state. Can I still sell?
Yes. We keep you updated every step and work with the settlement company on the paperwork. You don’t need to fly in to manage repairs or showings.
