How it works

From "I have no idea what to do" to cash in hand.

Four simple steps. We do the title research, the tax cleanup, and all the paperwork. You sign, we close, you get paid.

Step 01 — Free analysis

You tell us about the property — we do the rest.

Fill out the form or call. We pull title history, county tax records, comparable sales, and property condition — all at our cost. Most analyses are done within 24 hours.

Step 03

You get a cash offer.

Transparent math — we show you exactly how we arrived at the number. No pressure, no obligation.

Step 04

Sign & get paid.

Most closings happen remotely. Back taxes paid at closing. You receive cash by check or wire.

Who we help

If any of this sounds like your situation, we can help.

Most agents can't list these properties. Most buyers can't get financing for them. We specialize in exactly the situations everyone else avoids.

Inherited a house with no will

The owner passed without a will (called dying "intestate"). We use Affidavits of Heirship to establish ownership without full probate.

Years of back property taxes

$5K, $15K, $30K in delinquent taxes? We factor it into the offer and pay it off at closing — you never pay a dime out of pocket.

Multiple heirs can't agree

Four siblings inherited and nobody can decide what to do? We work with each person individually to find a solution everyone signs off on.

Pending tax sale on the property

Once the county sells at auction, heirs get nothing. If you're facing a deadline, we can often close fast enough to save the equity.

House is in rough condition

Roof damage, vacant for years, water/fire damage, full of stuff? We buy it as-is. Don't clean it, don't repair it, don't even visit it.

You just want it done fast

Don't want to deal with showings, agents, repairs, listings, lowball offers, or contracts falling through? We close on your timeline.

About

Meet Jeremiah Gray. I personally handle every deal.

I started Gray Title Solutions after watching my own family try to sell my grandmother's house in Sunnyside. She passed without a will, the taxes were three years behind, and every realtor we called said the same thing: "I can't list it like this." It took us almost a year to figure out what to do.

That experience is why I do this work. Most families I help are in that same spot — dealing with a property they didn't ask for, with a problem nobody will explain to them in plain language. So I explain it. I make the math transparent. And when it makes sense for both sides, I buy the property cash and handle every piece of the paperwork.

FAQs

The questions families actually ask.

Do I need to go through probate to sell?
Not always. In Texas, if the owner died without a will, we can often use an Affidavit of Heirship to establish ownership and avoid full probate. If probate is necessary, we work with experienced probate attorneys and coordinate the entire process as part of the deal.
What if there are years of unpaid property taxes?
We handle it. Back taxes are factored into our offer and paid off at closing through the title company. You don't pay anything out of pocket. Selling before the county initiates a tax sale is critical — once the county takes the property, the heirs typically lose all rights and receive nothing.
What if multiple family members inherited the property?
We work with all heirs involved. Everyone with a legal interest will need to agree to the sale. We're experienced at navigating multi-heir situations. If one heir wants to sell and others don't, there are legal options we can walk you through.
How do you determine your offer price?
We look at comparable sales, the current condition of the property, the amount of back taxes owed, and the cost to clear the title. We walk you through the numbers transparently so you understand exactly how we arrived at our offer.
Do I have to pay any fees or commissions?
No. There are no agent commissions, no closing costs, and no hidden fees. We cover everything. The offer amount is what you receive at closing.
How fast can you close?
Most deals close in 2–4 weeks. Simple Affidavit of Heirship cases can close faster. If the title situation requires probate or a quiet title action, it may take longer — but we'll give you an honest timeline upfront.
What if the property is in terrible condition?
We buy properties as-is. Roof damage, water damage, fire damage, overgrown yards, abandoned for years — it doesn't matter. We don't need you to clean it, repair it, or even visit it.
What if I live out of state?
No problem. Many of the heirs we work with live in a different city or state. We can handle the entire process remotely. Documents can be signed electronically or through a mobile notary in your area.
Is there any obligation if I fill out the form?
None at all. We'll review the property, share our assessment, and make an offer if we can help. If it's not a fit, we'll tell you honestly. No pressure, no follow-up calls you didn't ask for.
What about a pending tax sale?
This is one of the most urgent situations we handle. Once the county sells the property at tax sale, heirs typically lose all rights and receive nothing. If you're facing a pending tax sale, call us immediately — we can often close before the sale date.
