We Make Selling Mom or Dad’s House Simple
When a parent moves to assisted living, memory care, or a smaller place, the house is often the last big thing on the list. It may be full of decades of belongings. It may need work no one has time for. And you may be juggling it all with siblings, a job, and the move itself.
We buy parents’ houses across the Omaha metro, as is. You take what the family wants, and we handle the rest. Below are eight families we have helped, in their own words where they left a review.
You Do Not Have to Be Here to Sell It
Some of the families we help live out of state. We can be your eyes and hands in Omaha.
In her words
“I live in TN and my mom fell ill and was no longer able to take care of herself and unfortunately her home had come into disrepair. I was contacted by Matt immediately after filling out the form online and he went to the house. Same day we reached a very fair price and not much longer after that the house was sold and we had the money to move her to TN and be able to go into assisted living. I saw the photos of the home after they fixed everything and it’s beautiful. It’s going to be an amazing home for the next family to enjoy. This company was so easy to work with and even mailed me family photos that they found in the house. I can’t say enough good things about these guys.”
Selling a Parent’s House, Family by Family
Every family’s situation is different. Here is how a few of them went.
Their Timeline, Not Ours
Some families need to move fast. Others need a few weeks to talk it through. Both are fine with us.
A Condo Full of Family History
In the family’s words
“Our family recently sold a home to James & the Omaha Homes for Cash team. From the first interaction to closing they were professional & reliable. Easy to work with too. After close, the team even helped us locate a precious family item while cleaning.”
Our advice
Work with someone you can trust to hit your deadlines and treat your parents with respect. The price matters, but it is not the only thing that matters.
James Watson
What Families Say After the Sale
Elderly father
Dad Picked the Price and the Date
★★★★★“Hands down, the best and easiest home sale ever. These guys are great to work with, extremely nice and incredibly responsive. The home sale was for my elderly father. He got the price he wanted and was able to pick the closing date. We were able to leave the house as is, no cleaning or removal of unwanted furniture. There were no delays or surprises and everything went very smoothly. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!”
Widowed mother
Patient Through a Surprise Probate
★★★★★“The Watson family was referred to me and James was who my family met. He listened to our concerns and was honest, courteous, and understanding. Afterwards, as we went through the sale (my mother’s home and now a widow), he was very patient and remained courteous and professional. Even when he could not contact us, he had his brother do so. Unexpectedly, we had to hire a probate attorney and then it was smooth sailing. When James found out we had to hire an attorney, the company defrayed the cost knowing and understanding my mother’s situation. Talk about phenomenal! I cannot say enough about this company. You were a blessing for us. Thank you!”

What We Take Off Your Family’s Plate
The move is hard enough. Here is what you will not have to deal with.
The clean-out
Take the keepsakes and leave the rest. Furniture, clothes, the garage, the basement. We clear it all.
Finding family items
Give us a list of things you could not find. We look for them while we clear the house and get them back to you.
Your timeline
Close before the move, after the move, or weeks from now. You pick the date, and we can wait while the family decides.
Repairs and updates
Grab bars, worn carpet, an old roof, or a dated kitchen. We buy it as is and handle the work after closing.
Closing costs
No commissions and no fees. We pay the closing costs, so the family knows the number up front.
Family out of town
One of us walks the house, keeps you updated, and is happy to talk with siblings too. You may never have to come back to Omaha.

Selling to Us vs. Listing Your Parent’s House
Listing can make sense if the house is move-in ready and the family has time. If it is full of belongings, needs work, or you need a sure date, a cash sale is often simpler.
Selling a Parent’s House: Common Questions
Can I sell my parent’s house if I have power of attorney?+
Often, yes, if the power of attorney covers selling real estate. The title company reviews the paperwork before closing to make sure everything is in order. Not sure about yours? Call or text (402) 226-8963 and we will walk you through it.
Can we sell if we live out of state?+
Yes. One of us can walk the house for you, send photos, and keep you updated by phone, text, and email. If your parent has already moved out, that is fine too. You do not have to come back to clean anything.
What if my parent has passed away?+
We buy inherited houses too. Start with our guide to selling a house after a loved one passes away, or call us and we will help you figure out the next step.
Do we have to clean out the house first?+
No. Take what the family wants and leave the rest. If there are items you could not find, give us a list and we will look for them while we clear the house.
Can my parent stay until the move is ready?+
Yes. You pick the closing date. We can close weeks from now so it lines up with the move into assisted living or a new place.
How do you decide what to offer?+
We look at recent sales of similar houses nearby, the repairs the house needs, and our holding costs. We show you the math so the whole family can see how we got to the number.
What areas do you buy in?+
The whole Omaha metro, including Millard, Elkhorn, Bellevue, Gretna, Bennington, and Council Bluffs.
