The Hendersons
Dad's house of 42 years, full to the rafters. We handled the cleanout, they kept the memories, and the estate closed a month before the tax deadline.
Inherited home, missed payments, worn-out rental, a life turning the page. Whatever you're carrying, we bring several honest ways forward, not one take-it-or-leave-it number.
Free. Confidential. Zero obligation. We never sell your info.
Start where you are
Pick the one that sounds like your week. Each path has its own page, written for exactly your situation.
Probate, a house full of memories, siblings with opinions. We untangle it one step at a time.
02You have more time and more options than the bank lets on. Judgment-free, always private.
03Tenants, turnovers, that roof you keep postponing. There's a clean way out, tenants and all.
04A new job, a split, a house that got too big. Your timeline sets every term.
Proof, not promises
The Root Estates difference
Click through the paths we actually bring to the table. If the best answer for you isn't selling to us, we'll tell you that too.
No repairs, no cleanout, no showings. We can close in about two weeks, or hold your date for months. The number we agree on is the number you get.
Best when: you want it settled, simply and soonHow it works
A two-minute form or a phone call. You'll talk to a real person who lives here, not a call center.
Takes 2 minutesUsually at your kitchen table. Every path laid out with real numbers, and every question answered.
Usually within 48 hoursPaperwork, closing costs, cleanout, timeline: on us, on your schedule. Even after closing, you can still call us.
Close in as little as 14 daysWhy neighbors call us
No repairs, no cleaning, no staging. Leave what you don't want. We've emptied whole houses for families before.
Close in two weeks or four months. Need to stay a while after closing? We can usually make that work too.
The number we agree on is the number you get. We pay the closing costs. Nothing hides in the fine print.
We live in Eastern PA. You'll meet the people whose names are on the company, and you can call us after closing, too.
In their words
After Mom passed, the house sat for a year because my brother and I couldn't agree on anything. They walked us through probate step by step and never once rushed us. It felt like talking to a neighbor, not a company.KKaren M.Inherited home · Allentown
I was three months behind and terrified of losing everything. They showed me two options I didn't even know existed. I sold on my schedule and walked away with real money instead of a foreclosure on my record.LLuis R.Behind on payments · Reading
Eighteen years of tenants was enough. They bought the duplex with the tenants still in it, handled everything, and closed in three weeks. I should have called them five years ago.DDonna & Bill T.Tired landlords · Bethlehem
A job offer in Charlotte with a six-week start date. They closed in 19 days and let me stay rent-free for two more while the movers came. The house was the only part of the move that wasn't stressful.MMaria G.Relocation · Whitehall
Homes we've helped with
No before-and-afters here. What matters is how things turned out for the people.

Fair questions
We understand the worry: those signs are everywhere. Here's our difference: we show you several options, not one take-it-or-leave-it number, and we show you the math behind every offer. See exactly how on our How We Calculate Your Offer page.
Nothing, ever. The conversation is free, the offer is free, and there's no obligation at any point. If you decide not to sell, we part as neighbors.
Not at all. That's most of the houses we buy. Roof issues, old wiring, decades of belongings, even fire or water damage. You don't need to fix, clean, or empty anything.
If speed matters, we can typically close in about two weeks. If you need more time, we'll match your timeline. We've waited months for families who needed it. You set the pace.
