What to Do With an Unwanted Inherited Home
Inheriting a house might sound like a gift—but in reality, it can feel like a burden.
If you've inherited a home that needs repairs, is filled with stuff, or is located in a city you don’t live in, you might be wondering what to do next. Listing it with a realtor might not make sense if it’s in rough shape or you don’t have time to clean, fix, and stage the property.
At Forever Home, we help people just like you sell inherited homes as-is, fast, and with no pressure. Whether the home needs repairs, is stuck in probate, or you’re coordinating with other heirs, we can walk you through the process and make a fair, no-obligation cash offer.
Inheriting a home can stir up a mix of emotions. Maybe it belonged to a parent or grandparent who recently passed away. Maybe it’s filled with memories—but also filled with repairs, clutter, or tenants. And while it might seem like a financial blessing on paper, in reality, it can quickly feel like a burden—especially if you live out of state or don’t have the time or money to deal with it.
If you’ve inherited a home in Cleveland, particularly on the East Side, and you’re wondering what to do with it, you’re not alone. Many people in your exact situation turn to Forever Home for help—and here’s why.
The Problem with Inherited Homes
When you inherit a home, you also inherit the responsibilities that come with it:
-
Repairs and maintenance (sometimes years overdue)
-
Legal or probate issues
-
Unwanted belongings to sort through
-
Property taxes, utilities, or HOA fees
-
The pressure to list and sell quickly—even if the home isn’t “market-ready”
For many, the idea of hiring a realtor, cleaning up, making repairs, scheduling showings, and waiting for a buyer just isn’t realistic.
