Common Inherited Property Situations We Help With
Inherited homes are rarely “simple.” Here are some of the most common situations we see in New Mexico:
- The house needs repairs (roof, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and foundation concerns)
- The property is packed with belongings, and you want to avoid a full cleanout
- The home is vacant, and you are worried about damage, squatters, or code issues
- Multiple heirs need a clean, fair solution without months of stress
- The estate has back taxes, liens, or other title complications
- You live out of state and do not want to manage contractors and showings
- The property has tenants, or the tenant situation is difficult
- Probate is in progress, and you want a plan before it drags on
If you are dealing with any of the above, a direct sale can reduce friction and time.
Your Options for Selling an Inherited House in NM

Option 1: List with an agent
This can make sense if the home is in good shape and you have time.
Typical obstacles and requirements:
Uncertainty on the timeline and closing
Repairs or updates to maximize value
Selecting honest contractors for the fixes
Cleanup, staging, photos, and showings
Buyer inspections and appraisal conditions

Can You Sell a House in Probate in New Mexico?
Sometimes yes, sometimes not yet. It depends on how the property is titled and whether the seller has legal authority to sell.
In many cases, a sale can move forward once the proper party has authority (for example, an executor or personal representative). In other cases, probate steps may need to occur first.
Good news: You can often request an offer and create a plan while probate is in progress, even if you are still finalizing paperwork.
This page is not legal advice. If you are unsure about authority or probate requirements, it is smart to speak with a New Mexico probate attorney or the professional handling the estate.
How Our Inherited Property Process Works
Our inherited property process is straightforward and low-stress.
Step 1: Tell us about your inherited property
Share the address, general condition, and your preferred timeline. Photos help, but they are not required to start.
Step 2: Confirm who can sign on behalf of the estate or probate
We will ask a few simple questions to confirm who is authorized to sell and what documents may be needed for closing. If there are multiple heirs, we help clarify the best next step.
Step 3: Receive a clear cash offer
If the property is a fit, we provide a straightforward offer and explain how we arrived at it. No pressure.
Step 4: Close on your preferred timeline
If you want a fast close, we can move quickly. If you need time to coordinate family, cleanout, or travel, we can often work around that.

What We Can Handle (So You Do Not Have To)
Inherited homes often have issues. That is normal. We frequently buy properties with:
- Major deferred maintenance
- Outdated interiors and “estate condition.”
- Water damage, roof issues, or older systems
- Heavy cleanup and leftover belongings
- Code violations or city notices (case-by-case)
- Tenant-occupied situations (case-by-case)
- Properties that have been vacant for a long time
If you are worried the house is “too much,” reach out anyway. We will tell you directly if it is a fit.
What You May Need to Sell an Inherited Property
Every estate is different, but these are common items involved in inherited sales:
- Proof of identity for the signing party
- Documentation showing who has authority to sell (varies by situation)
- Basic property details and any known issues
- If there are multiple heirs, a clear agreement on the sale decision
- Attorney involvement in settling the executor and defining proceed splits
If you do not have everything organized, that is okay. We will help you understand and navigate the path forward.

FAQ: Selling an Inherited House in New Mexico
Do I need to clean out the house first?
No. Many families sell inherited houses with belongings still inside. You can request an offer first and decide on the best approach afterward.
Do you buy houses that need major repairs?
Yes. Inherited homes often need roof work, electrical updates, plumbing repairs, HVAC replacement, or full renovation.
Can you buy a house if probate is still in progress?
Often, yes, depending on who has the authority to sell and on the required documentation. We can still evaluate the property and help guide you through the next steps.
What if there are multiple heirs?
This is common. In most cases, all required parties need to agree and sign. We will explain the cleanest way to move forward.
How fast can an inherited house sell?
It depends on the situation, title, and the estate process, but a direct sale is typically much faster than listing, especially when repairs are needed.
How do you determine your offer?
We consider location, condition, local market demand, comparable sales, and the cost and risk of repairs. We aim to make offers that are fair and realistic for an as-is purchase.
What if the property has liens or back taxes?
Sometimes it can still be handled. It depends on the numbers and the title situation. We will be direct about what is possible.
Do I have to accept the offer?
No. Requesting an offer is free and carries no obligation to accept.
What areas do you cover?
We focus heavily on Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Los Lunas, and Santa Fe. Ultimately, we buy inherited properties all across New Mexico, in any condition.
