Selling a Probate House in San Antonio? We Make It Simple.
We buy probate properties across Bexar and Guadalupe County for cash. Executor-friendly, attorney-coordinated, and ready to close the moment the court signs off.
The Situation
What You're Facing
Probate in Bexar County can stretch six to twelve months — sometimes longer if there's no will or if heirs contest. While the case moves through the courthouse on Dolorosa Street, the property still needs to be maintained, insured, and protected from squatters.
If you're the executor of a San Antonio estate, you didn't sign up to manage a vacant house in Schertz, mow a half-acre lot in Cibolo, or chase a tenant who stopped paying after the owner passed. You signed up to honor someone's wishes and get the estate closed.
We buy probate houses every month and we already speak the language — Independent Administration, Muniment of Title, Letters Testamentary, Application to Sell Real Property. Many of the properties we close are also inherited San Antonio homes where the heirs simply want a clean exit. We work on the court's timeline, not against it.
Why People Sell
Why San Antonio Homeowners Choose to Sell
Estate Needs Cash to Distribute
Executors often need liquid funds to pay heirs, taxes, and final debts. A cash sale converts the house quickly.
Property Is a Liability
Vacant homes attract vandalism, copper theft, and squatter activity — especially on the East and South Sides of San Antonio.
Out-of-State Executor
Many executors live elsewhere and can't manage a Schertz or Stone Oak property from afar.
Avoid Listing Headaches
Listing a probate house means showings, contingencies, and buyers who back out when they learn it's probate.
Heirs Want Equal Splits
Cash from a single buyer is easy to divide. Mortgages, repair credits, and concessions are not.
Carry Costs Are Eating the Estate
Taxes, insurance, utilities, and lawn care can run $1,500+/month while the case sits.
The Hard Parts
Challenges Homeowners Run Into
Court Approval Requirements
Some Bexar County cases require court confirmation of sale. We've done it — and we're patient.
Dependent vs. Independent Administration
Each has different sale procedures. We adjust.
Title Issues from Old Deeds
Many San Antonio probate homes have decades-old title quirks. Our title company solves them.
Missing Heirs
An heir search or affidavit of heirship may be needed. We'll wait.
Property in Disrepair
Decades of deferred maintenance is the norm, not the exception.
Personal Property Inside
We buy with contents — heirs take heirlooms, we handle the rest.

Local Knowledge · San Antonio & Surrounding Areas
We Know the Neighborhoods You Live In
Probate cases in San Antonio run through the Bexar County Probate Courts, while Schertz and Cibolo cases go through Guadalupe County in Seguin. We work both regularly.
Neighborhoods We Serve
We've closed probate properties in Schertz neighborhoods like Belmont Park, The Crossvine, Crescent Bend, Greenshire, and the older Mission Hills section. Many were owned for 30+ years by original buyers.
County Coverage
Bexar County Probate Court 1 and 2 handle most San Antonio cases. Guadalupe County (Schertz, Cibolo, Seguin, Marion) and Comal County (New Braunfels) round out our service area.
Local Property Values
Probate properties in San Antonio currently range from roughly $130k for an older East Side bungalow to $700k+ for an estate home in Stone Oak or Schertz Crossvine. Our offers are built on actual neighborhood comps — not formulas.
Military Homeowners
Many probate cases involve retired military homeowners with ties to Randolph AFB (the gate sits right at the Schertz line), Lackland, Fort Sam Houston, or Camp Bullis. Surviving spouses often choose to sell quickly and relocate near family.
Inherited & Older Homes
Probate properties skew older — frequently 40–70 years old. Expect cast-iron drains, original electrical panels, and foundation settlement on Bexar's clay. We've seen and bought all of it.
Local Market Conditions
Bexar County days-on-market are back above 60, and probate buyers (typically investors) make up a meaningful share of older-home transactions. A direct cash sale usually beats a listed probate property net-net.
Service Area
San Antonio metro coverage: Alamo Heights, Stone Oak, Helotes, Boerne, New Braunfels, Schertz, Cibolo, Selma, Universal City, Converse, Live Oak, and Seguin.
“Dad's house was tied up in probate for almost a year. The team waited, sent updates monthly, and closed three days after the judge signed the Order to Sell. Couldn't have asked for cleaner.”
— Elena R., Schertz, Belmont Park
