Question 1

Do I need to finish probate before I can sell?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. In Arkansas, the executor or administrator can usually sign a contract once Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration are issued — sometimes even earlier with court approval. We routinely close while probate is still open and have probate-savvy attorneys we can refer you to if you need one.

Question 2

What if there are multiple heirs and we don't all agree?

Accepted Answer

We deal with this constantly. We'll talk to each heir individually, walk everyone through the numbers, and make sure no one feels pressured. If a couple of siblings want different things, we can structure the closing so everyone gets paid directly at the table.

Question 3

How fast can you actually close?

Accepted Answer

Once probate clears the basic hurdles, we've closed in as little as 7 days. The honest average is 14–30 days because most estates are waiting on something — a creditor period, a missing heir, a quick court order. We move at the speed of the estate, not the other way around.

Question 4

Will you really buy it as-is? Even if it's a hoarder house?

Accepted Answer

Yes. As-is means as-is. Junk, hoarding, foundation issues, fire damage, dated kitchens, a tenant who won't leave — we've bought all of it. You don't clean a thing. Take what's sentimental, leave the rest.

Question 5

What does it actually cost us to sell to you?

Accepted Answer

Zero. No commissions, no closing costs, no inspection fees, no repair credits. The number we agree to is the number that hits the estate's account at closing.

Question 6

How do you come up with the offer number?

Accepted Answer

We pull recent sold comps within a half-mile, subtract the rehab budget our crew estimates, subtract our holding and resale costs, and leave a fair margin. We'll show you the math on the call. If our number doesn't work for the estate, we'll tell you that too — and sometimes recommend you list instead.

Question 7

What if the house has a mortgage or tax liens?

Accepted Answer

Common and not a problem. The title company pays off any mortgage, tax liens, judgments, and probate-related liens directly from the closing proceeds. Whatever is left goes to the estate.

Question 8

Are you a wholesaler or do you actually buy?

Accepted Answer

We are the buyer. Funds come from our own account or our private lender — not assigned to a stranger. You'll see proof of funds before we sign anything.
