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.

Probate in Montgomery County is administered through the Register of Wills office at 50 Maryland Avenue in Rockville, phone (240) 777-9690. When a Maryland resident dies owning real property solely in their name, the estate must go through probate before the property can be transferred or sold. The Personal Representative — named in the will or appointed by the court — has authority to act on behalf of the estate including selling real estate.
Maryland law gives the Personal Representative broad authority to sell estate property without court approval if the will specifically grants that power. If the will is silent on the matter or there is no will, the Personal Representative typically needs court approval for a real estate sale. This is called a petition to sell, and Montgomery County Circuit Court must approve the terms before closing can occur.
The probate timeline varies significantly depending on whether court approval is required. With independent authority, we've closed probate sales in Montgomery County in as little as 3 to 4 weeks from accepted offer. When court approval is required, plan for 60 to 90 additional days for the petition process. We work with the estate's attorney to file everything correctly and avoid delays.
During probate, carrying costs continue — Montgomery County property taxes, homeowner's insurance, utilities, and maintenance. An empty house in probate is a liability. Moving efficiently toward a sale protects the estate's value for all beneficiaries.
Most estate properties reflect years or decades of deferred maintenance. We buy them exactly as we find them — no repairs, no cleaning, no estate sale required before closing. The Personal Representative and beneficiaries don't need to invest time or estate funds into preparing the property for sale.
