Inheriting a house in Illinois is rarely just a real estate problem. There's grief, family logistics, paperwork from the probate court, and often a property you've never lived in — sometimes one you've never even seen. Add in out-of-state heirs, contents that need cleared, repairs you don't know how to scope, and a probate timeline measured in months, and the simple act of "selling Mom's house" gets complicated fast.
We've worked with heirs across all of these situations. Sole heirs and groups of siblings. Houses that need everything and houses that just need to be off the family's hands. Probate that wrapped in six months and probate that's still dragging at eighteen. We don't promise a single magic timeline, but we will tell you what a cash sale realistically looks like in your specific situation — and what selling traditionally would mean instead.
If the estate is still in probate, the timing depends on what your estate attorney is doing — which letters of office have been issued, whether the will allows independent administration, whether the court needs to approve the sale. We can have an offer ready before any of that clears, so the moment the legal side is set, we close. If you're the personal representative running the estate, the operational side of selling during probate is what our Probate page in the Situations menu covers.

Inherited · Out-of-state heir · Chicago
Closed remotely in 21 days. Heir never flew to Illinois.
Heir inherited a North Side Chicago home and lived out of state — the last thing they wanted was to manage repairs or a listing. We walked the property ourselves, made the offer, and closed by mobile notary. Estate handled cleanly: no flights, no contractors, no agent fees.
Inherited · Title fraud · South Side Chicago
Closed in 14 days, sight-unseen — through a forged-deed claim.
Out-of-state heir inherited a South Side Chicago property — but a family member living there had recorded a forged deed at the county to stall the sale. We bought sight-unseen, took on the legal cleanup ourselves, and closed once title was clear.
Inherited · Multiple heirs · NW suburbs
Three siblings, one closing, no fights.
Three siblings inherited a Schaumburg-area home from their father. They didn't want to coordinate showings or argue about repair budgets. We made one offer, walked them through the math together, and split the net equally at closing. The estate closed faster than the probate did.
