Inheriting a house in Houston, TX can be a blessing… but also a big responsibility. From maintenance and property taxes to probate court and multiple heirs — it can get complicated fast.
If you’re trying to decide what to do with inherited property, this guide is for you. At Close Circle Homes, we help people just like you sell inherited homes for cash — fast, as-is, and without agents or drama.
🔍 What Happens When You Inherit a House in Houston?
When someone passes away and leaves you a home, several things can happen:
- You may inherit the property solely or with siblings/heirs
- The property may still be in probate (court process)
- You may inherit debt along with the property (like unpaid taxes, liens, or mortgage balances)
- The house may be vacant, damaged, or in need of serious repairs
For many people, selling the inherited home is the best financial and emotional decision — especially if it’s not local, not needed, or too much to maintain.
🛑 Challenges With Inherited Homes
Here’s what sellers often run into:
- Multiple heirs don’t agree on what to do
- Probate court delays (especially in Harris County)
- Property taxes or utility bills piling up
- Outdated homes needing major repairs
- Dealing with emotional attachment or clearing out belongings
That’s where we come in.

🔧 What “As-Is” Really Means for Inherited Homes

We’ve bought inherited properties in Houston with:
- Foundation cracks
- Old roofing and plumbing
- Junk-filled garages and attics
- Code violations
- Probate liens or unpaid taxes
- Pets, pests, or storm damage
You don’t have to clean it out. You don’t have to fix anything. We’ll handle it all.
💬 Real Example from Houston
“We inherited our aunt’s house in South Houston, but it had mold and no one wanted to deal with it. Close Circle Homes gave us a cash offer in 48 hours and even let us keep a week to remove a few family items. I can’t believe how easy it was.”
— Stephanie P., Houston, TX
📑 What If the House Is Still in Probate?
No problem. If the house hasn’t officially transferred to your name yet, we can still:
