- How It Works
Probate can be a long, confusing process. When there's a house involved, you need a buyer who understands how estate sales work — not one who complicates it. Samaritan Home Buyers works with executors, administrators, and heirs in Florida and Alabama to sell probate properties as-is for cash.
Probate is the legal process of settling a deceased person's estate — paying debts and distributing assets including real estate. In Florida and Alabama it goes through the county court and can take a few months to over a year.
If the house is a probate asset, the executor or court-appointed administrator typically has authority to sell it — sometimes with court approval. We've worked through this many times and will work at your pace alongside your attorney.
Contact us with the property address and the estate's situation.
We review the property and present a fair cash offer to the executor.
Once the court approves (if required) and title is clear, we close. You set the date.
Sometimes. It depends on your authority as executor and whether the court requires approval. Your attorney can advise. We can move as fast or slow as the probate timeline requires.
No. You can sell directly to a cash buyer without an agent, saving 5-6% in commissions and speeding things up.
We can still make an offer. Liens and back taxes are often resolved through the title company at closing.
All parties with an interest typically need to agree. If they can’t, a court can sometimes order a sale. We recommend working with an estate attorney.
Once the court approves and title is clear, as little as 7 days. Total timeline depends on how far along probate is.
No pressure. We'll answer your questions and give you a fair offer when you're ready.
