Inherited a Houston home? Here's how selling works.

Selling a home through probate has extra steps. We explain them plainly and give you both options: a cash offer as-is, or a full listing.

What usually happens

Every estate is different. Most Texas probate sales follow these four steps.

Authority to sell
The executor or administrator needs court authority, such as letters testamentary.
Value the home
We show a cash offer and a list price so the estate can decide.
Clear out or sell as-is
A cash sale can take the home with its contents and repairs as they are.
Close
Proceeds go to the estate through the title company.
