No commission, no closing costs, no fees deducted. The offer is exactly what the estate receives at closing.

Two ways to sell
Selling to us vs. listing in Auburn with an agent
A traditional listing can be the right call when you have time and a market-ready home. When you don't, here's the honest trade-off.
| What you're comparing | Sell to us | List with an agent |
|---|---|---|
| Timeline to close | Close in 1–4 weeks once the court grants authority, on a date you pick | Often 2–6 months from listing to closing |
| Repairs & cleanup | None — we buy as-is; take what you want and leave the rest | Repairs, cleaning, and staging usually expected before listing |
| Showings | No showings, no open houses | Ongoing showings and open houses on the buyer's schedule |
| Commissions & fees | Zero commissions, zero closing costs | ~5–6% agent commission plus closing costs |
| Offer certainty | No bank saying "No!" | Offers can fall through on financing or inspection |
| Condition problems | Structural, fire, water, hoarder, liens — we still buy | May scare off buyers or trigger price cuts |
| Who you deal with | Peter directly — no middlemen, no call centers | Agent, buyer's agent, lender, and buyer to coordinate |
Every situation is different. If a traditional listing is the better move for you, we'll tell you — and point you in the right direction.
Situations we help with
However the estate got here, you have options.
We work with executors, heirs, and personal representatives in all kinds of situations. If yours isn't listed, ask anyway — we've probably seen it.
- Estate is in probate and the home needs to be sold
- Out-of-state heir or executor
- Multiple heirs splitting the property
- Vacant home accruing taxes, insurance, and utilities
- Mortgage, liens, or back taxes on the property
- Home needs repairs the estate can't fund
- Want to settle the estate without a long listing
- Family doesn't want showings or open houses
Any condition
We'll buy it as-is. Really.
You don't have to repair, clean, or stage anything. Take what you want and leave the rest.
- Outdated kitchens and bathrooms
- Roof, foundation, or structural damage
- Fire, water, or mold damage
- Vacant or boarded-up homes
- Hoarder homes — leave everything
- Unfinished renovations
- Tenants you can't or won't evict
- Liens, back taxes, or title issues
No pressure, ever
What happens after you reach out
- A teammate may take your first call — Peter Ivie personally makes every offer, never a call center. Available 24/7. We ask a few questions about the home — no credit check, nothing invasive.
- You get a real cash offer, usually within 24 hours. We explain how we got to the number so it's never a mystery.
- You decide — there's zero obligation. Say yes, say no, or take time to think. Asking for an offer is never a commitment to sell.
- You pick the closing date. Need to move quickly, or need a few months to find your next place? Your timeline, not ours.
Requesting an offer is free, private, and puts you under no obligation. If selling isn't your best move, we'll say so.
Straight math, no games
How we get to your number
A fair cash offer isn't a mystery or a lowball. Four things go into it:
Recent nearby sales
What comparable homes in your area have actually sold for — the same numbers an appraiser would start from.
The home's condition
What it needs and what we’ll put into it, so you never have to fix, clean, or stage a thing.
Market timing
How fast homes are moving in your area right now, and what that means for a quick, certain sale.
Our costs
What it takes us to buy, hold, and resell — kept lean, so more of the value stays with you.
We walk you through the math on every offer. If the number doesn't work for you, there's no pressure and no obligation.

"I'm Peter. A teammate may handle your first quick call to get the basics, but I personally review the property, write every offer, and run the negotiation myself — no call centers, no junior reps making decisions."

Common questions
You might be wondering…
Do you actually buy homes in Auburn, AL?
Yes — Auburn (Lee County) is inside our buying area. We buy single-family homes, condos, and small multi-family properties throughout Alabama. Most of the underwriting is done remotely; if we need to see the property, we send a local professional.
Can you buy a house that's going through probate in Alabama?
Yes. In Alabama, the court appoints a personal representative with authority to sell estate property. We regularly buy inherited homes as-is and can work with the personal representative and the estate's attorney to close on a timeline that fits.
We're still in probate. Can we sell the home?
Generally yes. In Alabama, the personal representative needs authority to sell — typically granted by the court through letters testamentary or letters of administration. Depending on how the estate is administered, the court may need to approve the sale separately. We can prepare a written offer at any stage and wait until the right legal step before closing.
Will you work with our probate attorney?
Yes. We coordinate paperwork, court filings if required, and closing directly with your attorney. You stay informed without having to manage us.
What if there are multiple heirs?
We treat all heirs as decision-makers and there's no pressure to decide quickly. When all heirs want to sell together, we close once everyone with authority signs. When heirs are split — some ready to sell, some not — we can sometimes buy individual shares one at a time rather than waiting for a unanimous decision. Ask us about your situation.
Do we have to clean out the home first?
No. Take whatever's meaningful to the family. Leave the rest. We handle disposal, donation, and cleanout.
The home has a mortgage and back taxes. Is that a problem?
Common, and not a problem. The title company handles payoff at closing from the sale proceeds. As long as the home has enough equity, we work it out as part of the standard closing.
How quickly can the estate get paid?
Once the personal representative has authority and any required court approval is in hand, typically 1–4 weeks from signed agreement to wire.
