A simpler way to settle a family home
For executors and families with a house in Edmonton, Red Deer or Calgary.
An inherited house often comes with a long list: contents to sort, repairs nobody planned for, insurance and utilities to keep paying, and family members in different cities. Russ buys inherited houses as they sit, so the list gets a lot shorter.
You don't need to empty it, clean it or fix it. Take what matters to the family and leave the rest. The closing date can be set for after the grant of probate, so nothing is rushed.
If the home is in good shape and the family has a few months, listing with a realtor will likely leave you with more money. Russ will tell you if he thinks that's your better route.

Common questions about selling an inherited house
Can we sell before probate is finished?
Often, yes. The personal representative can usually agree on a sale now, with the closing date set for after the court issues the grant. The estate's lawyer can confirm what applies to you.
Is probate always needed to sell the house?
Not always. If the house was owned in joint tenancy, it usually passes to the surviving owner without a grant. If it was in the person's name alone, a grant of probate or administration is needed before it can be sold. The estate's lawyer can tell you which applies.
Who signs the paperwork?
The personal representative. That is the executor named in the will, or the administrator appointed by the court when there is no will. If there is more than one, they all sign.
Do we have to empty or clean the house?
No. Take what matters to you and leave the rest. Let Russ know roughly what is staying so he can plan for it.
The house needs a lot of work. Does that matter?
No. Foundation, roof, wiring, plumbing or a dated interior all go into the numbers. You don't need to fix anything first.
I live outside Alberta. Can I still sell?
Yes. Most of it is handled by phone and email, and the sale closes through real estate lawyers.
Will the offer be less than I'd get by listing?
In most cases, yes. A well-presented home listed with a realtor will usually sell for more. What you get from us in exchange is no repairs, no showings, no commissions and a closing date you choose.
Are there commissions or fees?
No. We're not realtors, so there is no commission, and we don't charge fees of any kind. Your offer spells out in writing exactly who pays which closing costs.
Are you the one who actually buys my house?
We sign the purchase agreement with you. From there we either complete the purchase ourselves or assign the agreement to one of our investor partners, who completes it on exactly the same terms. Either way, the price and closing date in your agreement don't change, and this is written into the contract.
Other situations we help with: selling during a separation, selling when payments are behind and selling a rental property.
