You inherited a house in Nassau County and now you’re working through decades of accumulated belongings, a building that hasn’t seen updates since the Carter administration, and siblings spread across three states asking when this is going to be settled. The seller in this situation is the executor handling a parent’s home, the out-of-state heir who flew in for one week, the family running point during probate, or the sibling group trying to agree on a number without an MLS fight.

Why Nassau Homeowners With Inherited Houses Sell To Us
Inherited Nassau houses arrive with more than a deed. They arrive with siblings who haven’t agreed on much in twenty years, an attorney’s calendar in Mineola, a basement nobody has been in since 1998, and a building that needs everything. We buy inherited houses across Nassau County exactly as they sit, and we work the estate logistics around your reality, not ours.
Estate executor coordination across siblings.
The executor signs the contract, but four siblings need to feel okay about the number. We’ve sat at kitchen tables in Westbury and Baldwin with three siblings in the room and two on speakerphone from Florida and North Carolina. We give one written offer the executor can show every heir, walk through the math out loud, and answer questions from anyone who has them. No back-channel pressure. No “this is good for one day only.” Just a number that holds while the family decides.
Multigenerational Nassau roots make selling complicated.
The house in Uniondale that your grandfather bought in 1962 isn’t just a property. It’s the Caribbean Sunday dinners, the Italian basement kitchen, the Salvadoran family that came up in the eighties, the Irish row in Hempstead, the Jewish split-level on the Five Towns line, the South Asian family in Hicksville with three generations under one roof, the African-American family in Roosevelt that’s been there since the seventies. We’ve bought every variant. We respect what the house meant. We don’t ask anyone to apologize for the wallpaper.
Out-of-state heir logistics get worked out remotely.
Heirs in Florida, the Carolinas, Texas, and Arizona are common on Nassau inherited deals. Parents retired south. Children stayed local or moved further. When the parent passes, the local heir gets stuck driving to Mineola for paperwork while siblings ask for updates from Tampa. We coordinate signing through your estate attorney with overnight notarized documents, remote online notarization where it fits, and a closing schedule that works around heir travel. Nobody has to fly in twice.
Family-history cleanout permission included.
Forty years of family in one house means decades of stored items: photo albums in the attic, Grandma’s china in the dining room hutch, your father’s tools in the garage, holiday decorations in the basement. Take what matters. Leave the rest. We handle the cleanout post-closing with our own crews and dumpsters. You don’t sort through boxes for three weekends. You don’t pay a junk-removal company $4,500. You walk out with what you want and we handle the rest.
Heirship affidavit sales when probate may not be needed.
In some Nassau County inherited-house situations, a full Surrogate’s Court probate may not be required to sell the property. When the owner died without a will, enough time has passed, all lawful heirs agree, and the title company is willing to insure the transfer, we may be able to close using a Family Tree Affidavit or Affidavit of Heirship instead of waiting months for court paperwork. We work closely with experienced title professionals in Mineola to review whether this route fits your estate, which can save the family time, legal expense, and the headache of a drawn-out probate process. Not every estate qualifies, but if it does, we can often turn a stuck inherited property into a clean cash closing.
Prime Realty Buyers is a real estate buyer, not a law firm or title company. Whether a Family Tree Affidavit or Affidavit of Heirship is workable depends on the title company’s insurability decision and the estate’s specific facts. We recommend consulting an estate attorney.
Other reasons Nassau executors sell to us:
- Mid-probate sale signed under Letters Testamentary trigger language
- Closing scheduled around Surrogate’s Court timing in Mineola
- No staging, no open houses, no strangers walking through the family home
- Cash for the estate within two weeks of contract signing
We close the house, then the family closes the chapter.

Real Seller Stories
“My father passed in February and left the house to me and my two sisters. One sister in Raleigh, one in Tampa, me here in Hempstead doing all the legwork. The house was full. I mean every closet, every drawer, the basement, the garage. We were looking at thirty grand just to clear it before listing. Prime Realty Buyers walked through, gave us a number that day, and took the contents. My sisters signed remotely through our attorney. Closed in twenty-one days. I drove away with a box of photos and that was it.”
Colm, Hempstead
“Mama passed and left the house she bought in 1971 to all six of us. Three brothers, two sisters, me. Half wanted to list it. Half wanted to keep it in the family. Nobody wanted to pay the taxes anymore. We were stuck for nine months. A neighbor mentioned Prime Realty Buyers. They sat with us, gave one written offer, answered every question my brother in Atlanta had on speakerphone. We voted, signed under Letters Testamentary, closed before Christmas. Mama’s house went to somebody who’ll actually live in it. That mattered to us.”
Letitia, Uniondale
“My grandmother lived in the house from 1958 until last spring. Ninety-four years old. We’re originally from Trinidad and the house had everything from her life, our parents’ lives, ours. Photos, china she brought from home. Three generations of items. When she passed, I was the only grandchild local. The rest were in Florida, two in England, my brother in Toronto. I called four cash buyers. Prime Realty Buyers was the only one that didn’t pressure me. They worked with our attorney, gave us time to take what we wanted, and closed when the family was ready.”
Patrice, Westbury
“My uncle left me his house when he passed. No kids, never married, I was the closest family. Problem was, I live in Phoenix. The house had been his for forty years. Original everything. Boiler from the seventies. Buried oil tank that hadn’t been touched in decades. I flew in once for the funeral and didn’t want to fly back four more times to sell it. Prime Realty Buyers handled the whole thing through my attorney in Mineola. I signed remotely. They wired the funds to my bank in Arizona. Done.”
Marlon, Baldwin
“My husband and I inherited his mother’s house in 2023. We were already in our seventies and looking at a renovation budget close to two hundred grand just to make it listable. The house was sound but everything was original from when she bought it in 1962. We weren’t going to put that kind of money into a flip. Prime Realty Buyers gave us a fair cash number, took the house as it stood, and we closed in three weeks. We took her photo albums home and didn’t look back.”
Hazel, East Meadow

FAQs
Can you buy the house before probate is complete?
Are there alternatives to full probate? Yes to both. We sign contracts mid-probate under Letters Testamentary trigger language drafted by your estate attorney. Closing waits for the Letters to issue from Mineola Surrogate’s Court, which gives the executor authority to sign at closing. We’ve closed mid-probate deals where Letters issued one week after contract and others where it took three months. In some estates, full Surrogate’s Court probate isn’t required at all. When the owner died without a will, enough time has passed, all heirs agree, and the title company can insure the transfer, we may close using a Family Tree Affidavit or Affidavit of Heirship instead of waiting on court paperwork. Your title professional confirms whether this route fits.
We have heirs in three states. Can you handle remote signings?
Yes. We coordinate with your estate attorney for overnight notarized documents, remote online notarization where state law permits, and consular notarization for heirs outside the US. We’ve closed deals with heirs in Florida, North Carolina, Texas, Arizona, El Salvador, Trinidad, and Israel. Your attorney handles the document logistics. We handle the cash and the closing schedule.
Do we have to clean out the house before we sell?
No. Take what matters to the family. Photos, china, paperwork, jewelry, tools, anything with sentimental or actual value. Leave the rest. We handle the cleanout post-closing at our cost with our own crews and dumpsters. Most sellers spend one or two visits sorting through what they want to keep, and we take everything else after the wire hits.
Is the offer fair for an inherited house that needs everything?
Our offer reflects current condition and the post-closing work we’ll absorb. Boiler, panel, kitchen, baths, roof, oil tank, cleanout. We walk through the math out loud with you so you understand how we got to the number. No bait pricing. No drops at the closing table. The number on the contract is the number that closes.
How long does the whole thing take?
First call to written offer: 24 hours. Contract signing: within a week if heirs are aligned. Closing: 14 days when Letters Testamentary are in hand. Mid-probate deals close when the court issues Letters, which depends on the estate complexity and the Mineola Surrogate’s Court calendar. Affidavit-of-heirship closings can move faster when the estate qualifies and the title company signs off. We work the timing around your court date, not our convenience.
What if my siblings can’t agree on the price?
We give one written offer the executor can show every heir. We walk through how we got there. We answer questions from siblings on speakerphone in Florida and Arizona. We don’t pressure with “this is good for one day only.” The number holds for a reasonable window while the family decides. We’ve sat through plenty of these conversations and we know the speed of family decisions.
¿Hablan español?
Do you buy houses with reverse mortgages or HELOCs on them?
Yes. We pay off the reverse mortgage or HELOC at closing from the cash proceeds. This is common on inherited houses where the parent borrowed against equity in their later years. Your estate attorney coordinates the payoff with the lender. The cash that hits the estate account is the contract price minus the payoff and any other liens.
What if the house has open permits or missing certificates of occupancy?
We buy as-is. Open permits, missing COs, unpermitted basement apartments, dormer permits never closed out, deck additions without paperwork. We resolve everything post-closing with the Town of Hempstead, Town of North Hempstead, Town of Oyster Bay, or relevant Village building department. You don’t pay an expediter. You don’t sit through a Town board meeting.
Can you close before we move my parent’s belongings out?
Yes. We schedule the closing first, then handle the contents in the weeks following. You don’t need to lift a box before the wire hits the estate account. Many of our inherited sellers come back twice over the following month to take additional items they want to keep. We work around your timeline.
We have a tenant in the inherited rental. Do you still buy?
Yes. We buy occupied rentals throughout Nassau. The tenant stays through closing. We handle the tenant relationship post-closing, whether they’re paying, behind, on a month-to-month, or in a holdover situation. No eviction required from your end. The estate gets out of the landlord business at closing.
Are there any fees, commissions, or closing costs we pay?
No. We pay all customary closing costs including title insurance, recording fees, and transfer taxes. No realtor commission. No buyer credits. No inspection requests. The number on the contract is the number that hits the estate account at closing. The estate attorney still bills the estate for legal work, but that’s between you and your attorney.
