Stuck with the Inherited House While Your Siblings Are Miles Away?

You’re the Only One Left Holding the Bag

Your parent passed. The house is still full. And guess who’s the only sibling dealing with it? You.

While your brothers and sisters are scattered across the country, you’re the one sorting boxes, fielding agent calls, meeting probate lawyers, and trying to make sense of a house you didn’t ask for—but now have to handle.

Sound familiar?

This happens every day on Long Island. A parent passes away, and the estate lands in the lap of the one sibling who’s still local. Maybe that’s you.

At first, you want to do the “right thing”—get the house cleaned up, patched up, maybe even listed with an agent.

But let’s be honest: the cleanup alone could take weeks. And you’re the one calling junk haulers, scrubbing floors, or arguing with contractors while your siblings wait for their cut—without lifting a finger.

Let’s Do the Math

Here’s the breakdown most families don’t think through:

You clean it out
You make repairs
You pay for lawn care, utilities, insurance
You manage the listing and showings
You split the proceeds with siblings who did… what exactly?

Meanwhile, that “full-price sale” you’re hoping for may fall apart once the buyer sees a leaky roof or old electric. And agents? They’ll push you to make it “show ready”—which means even more cost and effort on your part.

That’s why so many Long Island homeowners in probate decide to sell the house as-is.

You Don’t Need to Do It Alone — Or at All

At Sensitive Strategist, we work with local heirs who are exhausted, overwhelmed, or just done with the process.

We buy probate homes on Long Island exactly as they sit.

No cleanout
No repairs
No showings
No family arguments over decor

Just a simple, straightforward sale that puts money in your hands quickly—so you can divide it up fairly and move forward.

You’ll get an honest offer, and we’ll take care of everything else. Need to coordinate with an attorney or the Surrogate’s Court? We’ve done it. Need help figuring out what paperwork is even required? We’ll walk you through it. Need time to talk with the rest of the family? No pressure—we move at your pace.

What About the Price?

Yes, selling as-is to a buyer like us will be a little less than selling to a traditional homeowner looking to move in.

But think about what you gain:

Speed: Close in days, not months.
Simplicity: Skip cleaning, fixing, staging.
Sanity: No bickering, no breakdowns, no drama.

And remember—after splitting the net sale price with siblings who aren’t helping, the difference is often negligible.

You’re taking on 100% of the work right now. Why also give up 100% of your peace of mind?
