Going through probate with my parent's house. Is it worth talking to any of these people trying to buy it "for cash, as is?"
Edit: That was fast y'all. I appreciate the kick back to reality. I'm very drained after all of the legal crap, so the allure of a quick deal is strong, but I'll stick to my guns and continue ignoring all of the calls.
Since my dad died, I've been overwhelmed with calls, texts, emails, and letters from people who want to buy the house. It's not even for sale yet, but the moment the probate notice hit the papers they swarmed in. It's all "cash offer, as is, no closing costs." I assume these are all vultures and the price they would give me is significantly less than what it's worth. There's nothing wrong with the house - it's a decent home, well kept, nice corner lot. However, as probate has been going on for the last 5 months, every time I hear from one it's more tempting to talk to them. No closing costs, no cleaning out the house, no realtor fees DOES sound tempting and my patience and sanity is wearing thin.
Can anyone tell me if my general instinct to avoid these people is sound? Any possibility in getting any of them close to a reasonable asking price? Or should I list the house normally with a realtor?
