“The Cash Offer Company”
Inheriting a home in Virginia can feel like a blessing… and a burden.
Whether it’s a childhood home full of memories or a property you never expected to own, the emotional and financial responsibility can be overwhelming. From probate paperwork to repairs and taxes, it’s a lot to manage—especially if you don’t live nearby or just want to move on.
At The Cash Offer Company, we specialize in helping Virginia families sell inherited homes quickly, fairly, and without any added stress.
⚖️ Do You Need to Wait for Probate in Virginia?
If your loved one passed away with a will, the home usually goes through probate in Virginia. This is the court-supervised legal process where the estate is settled and assets are distributed.
Virginia law does allow you to sell an inherited property before probate is complete, as long as the executor or heir has legal authority. But paperwork can get tricky—and timing matters.
Need clarity on the legal side? You can also review Virginia probate code.
🛠 What If the Property Needs Repairs?
Most inherited homes haven’t been updated in years. Some are even in poor or unsafe condition.
The good news? You don’t need to fix anything when you work with a cash buyer. We purchase properties as-is—even with:
- Mold
- Old roofs or HVAC systems
- Foundation issues
- Full contents or leftover belongings
- Code violations or unpermitted work
No cleaning, no updates, no open houses. Just a clean break.
💸 The Costs of Keeping an Inherited Property
If you’re not planning to move in, holding onto an inherited house can get expensive fast. You could be responsible for:
- Property taxes
- Utility bills
- Maintenance and landscaping
- Insurance
- HOA fees
- Capital gains or transfer taxes later on
Selling sooner avoids ongoing expenses—and cash puts the equity in your pocket right away.
