How to Sell Your Inherited House in Baton Rouge

When a loved one passes, it can be a difficult time for everyone. And although inheriting a house might seem like a wonderful way for a loved one to pass something of value on to you, it can also be a burden. Houses take a lot of work to maintain, keep clean, and keep up-to-date. If you want to sell your inherited house in Baton Rouge, we can be your solution.

There are several things to keep in mind if you want to sell. First, you must make sure all siblings agree on the terms of the sale. Will you list with an agent or sell cash? Listing with an agent will take more time, and your holding costs could start to add up. Selling to an investor for cash on the other hand is fast, but you will get less for the property. You have to be realistic about how much the house is worth. Sometimes inherited houses have been neglected for months or years, and this decreases the value.

Whatever you decide to do, make sure to secure the house by changing the locks and remove any valuable items from the house while it is vacant. Figure out your holding expenses by looking at the deceased’s bank statements to see what bills were being paid. These expenses could be insurance, electricity, water (sometimes there is a leak and this is really high!), lawn care, cable/internet, garbage, and mortgage payments. These expenses add up.
