Out-of-state, dealing with siblings, full of decades of belongings — we've helped families through every variation of this. Probate handled. Belongings sorted. Quiet, dignified close.
Take what's sentimental, leave everything else where it sits. We handle the full cleanout — every closet, every garage, every box in the attic — at no charge to you. Most heirs don't realize this is even an option.
Three siblings in three states, none of you agree on price or strategy. We've done this dozens of times. We give one clear written offer that lets you split proceeds cleanly, with one closing date and one signature each.
Letters Testamentary still pending? Unpaid property taxes? IRS lien? Mortgage that's been in default since the owner passed? We work with your probate attorney directly and can usually close once Letters are issued — sometimes within a week.
"Nobody plans to inherit a house from out of state. We've helped hundreds of families close that chapter — one signature, one closing date, no flights back to clean out a basement full of memories."
A note from Barry
"I've helped thousands of Hampton Roads families buy and sell as their agent — and personally bought hundreds of houses for cash when that was the right move. I started Legacy because the 'we buy houses' world is full of lowballers, and the regular agent world doesn't know what to do when you need to be out in two weeks. We do both. We tell you straight which one nets you more. Then you decide."
Absolutely. We can write you a non-binding offer letter now so you and your siblings know the number, then close once probate clears (typically when Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration are issued). Many of our deals are signed in this exact sequence.
Yes. We're patient. We've handled estates where heirs lived in 4 different states and hadn't all been in the same room in 20 years. We send written offers everyone can review independently, and we walk each heir through the math separately if needed.
Don't. Take what's sentimental, walk away from everything else. We handle full cleanout including furniture, appliances, attic, basement, garage, sheds. No charge. No judgment.
We can pay liens and back taxes at closing out of the proceeds. Reverse mortgages have specific payoff procedures we know well. We coordinate all of it with the title company so you don't have to.
