Inherited house or probate · St. Louis
Inherited a house in St. Louis? Take your time. We'll handle the hard parts.
Losing someone is hard enough without suddenly being responsible for their house. Maybe it's the home you grew up in. Maybe it's full of decades of belongings, and maybe it needs work nobody has the time or money to do. We'll move at your pace and treat the house, and the memories in it, with respect.
We understand what you're facing
Families tell us the house is the hardest part of settling an estate. Siblings live in different states. Nobody wants to be the one to throw away Mom's things. The utilities, taxes and insurance keep coming on an empty house.
We have bought inherited homes with every closet still full. Take the photos, the heirlooms and whatever matters. Leave the rest, and we'll take care of it respectfully.
We help homeowners in this situation across St. Louis City, St. Louis County, St. Charles County, Jefferson County and St. Clair County, Illinois, including Florissant, Hazelwood, Ferguson, University City, Kirkwood, Webster Groves, Affton, Mehlville.

How we help
What selling to Brickyard looks like
- We work alongside your probate attorney and the personal representative.
- One offer, one closing, and the proceeds split however the estate directs.
- No cleanout, no repairs, no estate sale required.
- Family members out of state can often sign remotely through the title company.
- We can wait for probate to finish, or close as soon as the court allows.
We inherited a property and had no idea what to do with it. From the first phone call these guys were nothing but patient and kind. They explained everything clearly, never pressured us, and made what could have been a really overwhelming process feel completely manageable.

Common questions
Can I sell a house that's still in probate?
Usually yes, through the personal representative of the estate. Some estates need a judge's approval for the sale. Your probate attorney will know which applies, and we're happy to work with them.
Do we need to clean out the house first?
No. Take what matters to you and leave the rest. We handle the cleanout after closing.
What if my siblings and I don't agree?
It happens often. We can meet with everyone together, or on separate calls, and explain the offer the same way to each person. We never push one heir against another.
Who pays the estate's closing costs?
We pay the closing costs on our purchase, and there are no commissions. The agreed price is what the estate receives, minus any mortgage or liens on the property.
