Selling an Inherited House in Michigan: Your Options

Yes. You can sell an inherited Michigan house exactly as it stands — no repairs, no updates, no cleaning. We buy properties in any condition, including homes with deferred maintenance, code issues, or decades of belongings still inside.

No. Take the personal items and keepsakes that matter to your family and leave the rest — furniture, appliances, boxes, everything. We handle the full cleanout after closing at our expense.

Yes. The entire process works remotely: electronic signatures, document review by email, and a mobile notary for closing. Most out-of-state heirs complete the sale without traveling to Michigan.

The estate receives one written, guaranteed net price, and at closing the title company disburses proceeds according to the estate's instructions — by the will, the trust, or Michigan intestacy rules. Because the number is fixed in writing up front, there's nothing left to argue about.

That's normal and usually solvable. Existing mortgages, property tax balances, and most liens are paid off from the sale proceeds at closing through the title company. We factor them into your written numbers so there are no surprises on closing day.

Michigan has no inheritance tax, and heirs generally receive a stepped-up cost basis equal to the property's value at the date of death — so if you sell soon after inheriting, the taxable gain is often minimal. Confirm your specific situation with a CPA; this is general information, not tax advice.

With a cash offer, as little as 7 to 14 days once the estate has authority to sell and title is clear. Under the Max Value Program, typically 30 to 90 days while we sell the home for its maximum value — with the estate's net price guaranteed either way.
