Why Vacant Inherited Homes Are a Headache
An empty house may seem harmless, but it can create real problems:
- Property taxes and insurance bills keep piling up
- City violations for unmaintained yards or broken windows
- Risk of vandalism, break-ins, or squatters
- Mold, plumbing issues, or structural damage from lack of use
The longer it sits, the more issues you’ll face and the harder it becomes to sell.
If you’ve inherited a house that’s been sitting empty, even for a few months, you’re likely already dealing with some of these challenges. Let’s talk about what your options are.
Step 1: Check Ownership and Start Probate If Needed
First, make sure the title is in your name. If your loved one passed away recently and the house is still in their name, you’ll need to go through probate.
Probate is the legal process of transferring ownership from the deceased to the heirs. In Oklahoma, this can take 6 to 12 months. It’s not always required but it usually is when a home is involved.

Once probate is complete and you legally own the home, you’re free to sell it.

Step 2: Decide Whether to Fix It Up or Sell As-Is
A lot of inherited homes are outdated, damaged, or just plain worn down. You may be wondering if you should make repairs first or if you can skip the work and sell as-is.
Here’s the truth: repairs are expensive. And if you’re not local, managing contractors and timelines can become a full-time job.
That’s why many homeowners choose to sell as-is. With Blue Barn Homes, you don’t have to clean, repair, or even empty the house. We buy properties exactly as they sit, even with old furniture, leaks, cracks, and all.
Step 3: Choose the Fastest Way to Sell
Selling on the open market means hiring an agent, paying commissions, waiting for inspections, and dealing with buyers who may back out.
If you're looking for speed and simplicity, Blue Barn Homes offers a better path:
- No agents or commissions
- No repairs or cleaning
- Cash offers within 24 hours
- Close in as little as 7 days
- No showings, open houses, or delays

What If the House Has Multiple Heirs?
If you inherited the property with siblings or relatives, everyone has to agree on what to do with it. This can slow things down especially if emotions are high.
You’ll need to:
- Get everyone on the same page
- Agree to sell
- Decide how to split the money
