Learn How Brandy Taylor Sold an Inherited Home in Texas While Far Away

There’s a big decision you need to make when you inherit a home nowhere near where you live. Do you keep it, list it, or is there another option?

When Brandy Taylor inherited a home in Plano, TX, she already knew she didn’t want to keep it, but that left her with few options since she didn’t live near it and wouldn’t have the time to make repairs or prepare the home for listing.

She wanted to sell her inherited home and get that responsibility off her shoulders so she could move on, and that’s when House Buyers of America stepped in.

Selling an Inherited Home From Far Away Isn’t Always Easy

We’ve worked with many people who inherit homes in another city or state. At first, selling might seem easy. Then they start thinking about everything that needs to happen before the property actually changes hands.

Someone may need to check on the home, clean it out, maintain the yard, coordinate with contractors, or meet with people at the property. If the home is listed, you may also have showings, inspections, and other issues to handle along the way.

Handling those things is inconvenient when you live nearby. Doing it from hundreds or even thousands of miles away can become a much bigger headache.

Meanwhile, owning the home can come with ongoing expenses. Taxes, insurance, utilities, HOA fees, and basic maintenance can continue for as long as you own the property.

Many homeowners find that the longer an inherited home sits, the more it starts to feel like a responsibility rather than an asset.

For Brandy, there was no reason to make the process more complicated than it needed to be.

A Simple Cash Sale From Start to Finish

When Brandy contacted House Buyers of America, she wasn’t looking for a complicated solution. She wanted an easy way to sell a property she no longer wanted to manage.

We purchased the inherited home for cash and kept the process as simple as possible for her.

Brandy lived far from the property, so simplicity mattered. She didn’t need another project to manage or a long list of things she had to take care of before the home could be sold.

The sale was completed in about 30 days.

Instead of continuing to worry about a house far from home, Brandy sold it and finally got the responsibility off her plate.

For her, that sense of relief was the biggest benefit.

We’ve seen similar situations with homeowners who inherit properties across the country. Sometimes they have sentimental attachments to the home, but that doesn’t mean keeping it makes sense. When distance, ongoing expenses, and the work of managing another property start adding up, selling As-Is can provide the relief they need to finally move forward.
