Most “we buy houses” companies can offer you one thing — a cash offer, almost certainly below market. As a licensed agent with 20 years of experience, I walk you through every option and tell you honestly which one serves you best.
Close in as few as 7 days. No showings, no repairs, no contingencies. Your home goes in front of thousands of investors simultaneously — they compete, you get a real number, not a single lowball.
List on the open market as-is — no repairs, no staging. In competitive markets, as-is listings attract multiple offers and often produce more than a single cash offer.
Light cleanup, priced right, sold fast — without a full renovation. Faster than traditional, higher than a deep-discount cash offer.
Own your home free and clear? Carry the note and collect monthly payments instead of a lump sum. Often achieves a higher total price over time.
Rent now, sell later. Lock in a future sale price today while collecting rent in the meantime.

In Delaware, probate is administered through the Register of Wills in each county. The Kent County Register of Wills is located at 414 Federal St in Dover, and can be reached at (302) 744-2315. This office handles the formal administration of estates — validating wills, appointing executors and administrators, and overseeing the settlement of assets including real property in Dover, Camden, Smyrna, Harrington, Milford, and throughout Kent County.
Real property owned by a deceased person in Kent County typically cannot be sold until the executor or administrator has been formally appointed by the Register of Wills and holds current Letters Testamentary or Letters of Administration. Title companies in Delaware require this documentation to insure a transfer of title — without it, a sale cannot close regardless of how the property is being sold or to whom.
Once that legal authority is in place, the path to sale is the same as any other property transaction in Delaware. The executor or administrator signs as the seller, the title company ensures all estate-related requirements are met, and the proceeds flow to the estate for distribution to heirs according to the will or intestate succession law.
Long-held family homes in Dover's established neighborhoods — including areas near Loockerman Street, Silver Lake, and the historic district — are common probate sales. These properties often have no mortgage and have been in families for decades, making them valuable assets for heirs but sometimes in need of significant updating. Agricultural properties in the western part of Kent County — farms, rural parcels with older structures — require an executor with a clear understanding of what they are selling and often benefit from an investor buyer who understands agricultural land and its specific considerations.
Properties near Dover AFB that belonged to military retirees who settled in the area after service represent another common probate category. These are often solid properties in well-maintained communities that simply need an estate sale processed efficiently. Small rental properties in Dover that a parent or grandparent owned and managed as income property also commonly enter probate when the owner passes without having transferred them to the next generation through a trust or other estate planning mechanism.
As an executor or administrator of a Kent County estate, you have a fiduciary duty to the estate's beneficiaries. When selling real property, this means you must make a reasonable effort to obtain fair market value and be able to document your decision-making process. Beneficiaries have the right to question how the property was sold and at what price.
This does not require listing on the MLS or conducting a formal public auction. It requires demonstrating that you acted reasonably — obtained market information, considered multiple options, and accepted a price that reflects the property's actual value in its actual condition. A written offer from us, combined with a broker price opinion or appraisal, creates the documentation needed to show you fulfilled your fiduciary duty. We provide written offers and we are accustomed to working within the formal documentation requirements of estate sales.
