Properties With Complications | ExitVest
Situations We Handle

When the property has complications, we’re who you call.

Inherited homes stuck in probate. Multiple owners who can’t agree. Liens, code violations, clouded titles, problem tenants. The properties most cash buyers won’t touch β€” those are the ones we built ExitVest for.

The Reality

You’ve probably been turned away before.

If you’ve talked to other cash buyers, real estate agents, or attorneys about this property, you’ve likely heard some version of: “It’s too complicated.”

That’s not a failure on your part. Most buyers and agents are built to handle clean, simple transactions. The moment a property has a lien, a probate issue, multiple owners, code violations, or a clouded title, they back away β€” or they propose a long, expensive process that leaves you carrying the burden.

We’re the opposite. The complications are what we do. We’ve structured our entire business around the deals other people walk away from.

What other buyers tell you:

  • βœ•“You’ll need to clear the liens first.”
  • βœ•“We can’t close until probate is finished.”
  • βœ•“All the heirs need to agree before we proceed.”
  • βœ•“The title issue makes this uninsurable.”
  • βœ•“You’ll have to evict the occupants first.”
  • βœ•“Fix the code violations, then call us back.”
  • βœ•“That’s outside our buying criteria.”
What We Handle

Twelve situations we’ve solved β€” and the ones we’re solving right now.

Each of these comes through our pipeline weekly. None of them are edge cases to us. If your situation matches any of these β€” or doesn’t appear here but feels similar β€” submit the form and we’ll review it.

Inherited property still in probate

A family member passed away and left you a property. The will is in probate court, paperwork is unclear, or there’s no will at all. You can’t sell because legal ownership hasn’t fully transferred yet β€” and the months of waiting are costing you in taxes, insurance, and maintenance.

Why traditional sales fail

Agents need clear title to list. Cash buyers won’t close until probate is closed. The process can drag on 6-18 months while bills pile up.

What we do

We work alongside our real estate attorney to structure a closing that doesn’t require the full probate process. We’ve handled hundreds of these.

Multiple owners or heirs who can’t agree

You’re on the deed with siblings, ex-spouses, or extended family. Half want to sell, half don’t. One can’t be reached. Another wants more money than the property is worth. The property sits while everyone argues β€” and nothing gets done.

Why traditional sales fail

A listing requires all signatures. One holdout kills the entire transaction. Family dynamics make negotiation nearly impossible.

What we do

We negotiate with each owner separately, on their own timeline. When unanimous agreement isn’t possible, our attorney structures legal alternatives that work.

Tax liens, mortgage liens, IRS liens, and judgments

Back property taxes piling up. An IRS lien from years ago. A judgment from a lawsuit you forgot about. A mechanic’s lien from a contractor you disputed. Each one is a cloud on the title that prevents a normal sale.

Why traditional sales fail

Liens have to be paid off before a clean transfer of title. If the liens exceed the equity, the property becomes unsellable through normal channels.

What we do

We negotiate directly with lien holders for reduced payoffs. We’ve cleared hundreds of thousands in liens at meaningful discounts.

Clouded title or broken chain of ownership

A title search comes back with a problem β€” a missing deed from decades ago, an old mortgage that was never released, a deed signed by only one spouse, or a previous transfer that doesn’t quite line up. The title company won’t insure it.

Why traditional sales fail

Without title insurance, no lender will finance the buyer. The property becomes nearly impossible to sell to anyone who isn’t paying all cash and accepting the risk.

What we do

We pull the full title chain, identify the defect, and work with our title company to clear it through quiet title actions, corrective deeds, or affidavits.

Behind on payments or facing foreclosure

You’ve fallen behind on the mortgage. The lender is sending notices. A foreclosure sale date may already be on the calendar. You want out before it damages your credit for the next seven years.

Why traditional sales fail

Listing takes 60-90 days minimum. By the time a buyer is found, qualified, and financed, the foreclosure has often progressed too far to stop.

What we do

We close in days, not months. We can negotiate directly with your lender for a short sale or take over payments through a structured transaction.

Code violations, city fines, and condemned properties

The city has cited the property β€” unsafe structure, open permits, accumulated fines, or formal condemnation. Each month the violations grow. The municipality won’t let you sell or rent until they’re resolved.

Why traditional sales fail

Buyers can’t close until the violations are cured. The repair cost often exceeds what you can afford or justify, and the fines keep accumulating.

What we do

We take the property in its current state, with all violations attached. We absorb the cost and work directly with the municipality to resolve them post-closing.

Vacant, fire-damaged, or hoarder-condition properties

The property has been sitting empty for years, suffered fire or water damage, or is filled floor-to-ceiling with belongings. Every photo a buyer would see kills the deal before it starts.

Why traditional sales fail

Lenders won’t finance damaged properties. Retail buyers can’t see past the condition. Cleanouts and demolition costs can run tens of thousands.

What we do

We buy in true as-is condition. Leave everything you don’t want. We handle cleanout, demolition, insurance claims, and any remediation.

Squatters, non-paying tenants, or holdover occupants

Someone is living in your property who shouldn’t be β€” a tenant who stopped paying, an ex-occupant who refuses to leave, or someone who moved in without permission. Eviction is expensive and slow.

Why traditional sales fail

Buyers won’t take vacant possession risk. Showings are impossible with hostile occupants. The eviction process takes months and the costs fall entirely on you.

What we do

We buy with occupants in place. We absorb the legal eviction process and the costs after closing. You don’t need to deal with them at all.

Out-of-state ownership and absentee landlord situations

You inherited or bought a property far from where you live. Property managers are unreliable. Tenants are problematic. Repairs keep piling up. Flying back to deal with it isn’t an option anymore.

Why traditional sales fail

Coordinating an out-of-state sale means hiring locally, traveling for inspections, and managing a process you can’t see firsthand. Most owners give up partway through.

What we do

Everything is handled remotely. Documents signed by mobile notary. Closing through a local title company. You never need to visit the property.

Divorce, partition, or contested ownership

You’re in the middle of a divorce, a partition lawsuit, or a contested estate. The property is one of the assets being fought over. Both parties need it sold, but agreement on price or process is impossible.

Why traditional sales fail

Listing requires both signatures. Both parties second-guessing every offer. Months of back-and-forth while legal fees accumulate on both sides.

What we do

We provide one fixed, transparent offer that both parties can evaluate independently. Our attorney works with both sides’ counsel to structure a clean closing.

Failed listings and deals that fell through

You listed the property. You got under contract. Then the buyer’s inspection revealed something. Or financing fell through. Or the appraisal came in low. Or they backed out for reasons no one will explain.

Why traditional sales fail

Each cycle takes weeks. Each failed deal teaches buyers to be more cautious. The property becomes “stale” on the MLS and harder to sell at each relist.

What we do

We do our own evaluation. No appraisal contingency. No financing contingency. No inspection that kills the deal. Our offer is what we close at.

Vacant land, raw lots, and small commercial

You own a vacant lot, raw land, or a small mixed-use building that no one seems to want. Holding costs β€” taxes, insurance, occasional violations β€” keep accumulating with no income to offset them.

Why traditional sales fail

Land is a small market with mostly investor buyers who lowball. Small commercial buildings don’t fit residential or large commercial portfolios.

What we do

We buy land, lots, and small apartment buildings directly. We’ve built our underwriting to value these properties realistically β€” including their problems.

How We Handle It

The team behind every complicated closing.

Properties with problems aren’t solved by one person making a phone call. They’re solved by the right specialists working together. Here’s who works on your file the moment you reach out.

01 Β· Acquisitions

Direct conversation with decision-makers

You don’t get routed to a call center. You speak directly with the people authorized to make the offer and close the deal. No hand-offs, no “I’ll have someone call you back.”

02 Β· Title abstractor

Full title chain pulled before the offer

We pull the complete recorded history of the property β€” every transfer, every lien, every encumbrance β€” before we put a number on the table. We know what we’re buying.

03 Β· Real estate attorney

Every transaction reviewed by counsel

Our real estate attorney structures the closing path. Probate workarounds, partition strategies, lien negotiations, quiet title actions β€” they’re handled by counsel, not by sales reps.

04 Β· Title company

Closings through licensed title professionals

Every transaction closes through a licensed title company with title insurance. Your transaction is legally documented, recorded, and protected β€” not a back-of-the-napkin handshake.

The Process

Three steps. No agents. No surprises.

1

Share the situation

Submit the form or call. Tell us what’s going on β€” liens, heirs, condition, occupants, timeline. Whatever you know is enough.

2

We review and structure the offer

Our team pulls the title chain, identifies every issue, and builds a closing path. You see real numbers β€” no jargon, no surprises.

3

You decide. We handle the rest.

If the numbers work, we close on your timeline through a local title company. The liens, heirs, repairs, and legal work become our problem.
