Inheriting a house in Jonesboro sounds like a gift until you’re the one paying the utilities, mowing the yard, and fielding calls from the insurance company about a vacant property. Maybe it was your parents’ home in Hilltop, or a rental Dad owned near A-State. Maybe you live in Memphis or Little Rock and every trip to deal with it costs a day off work. We buy inherited and probate properties across Craighead County as-is — full of belongings, behind on taxes, in need of a roof — and we work around the probate court’s timeline, not against it.
Jonesboro is the hub of Northeast Arkansas — home to Arkansas State University, St. Bernards and NEA Baptist, and a steady base of manufacturing jobs along the I-555 corridor. That keeps demand for housing strong, which is good news if you need to sell quickly: we can buy your house as-is and close in days, not months.
We’re based right here in Northeast Arkansas, so we can usually look at a Jonesboro property within a day or two of your call.
When someone passes away owning a house in Jonesboro, the estate is generally handled by the probate division of Craighead County Circuit Court in Jonesboro — the county where they lived. There are two common paths, and which one you’re on decides how quickly the house can be sold.
We’re not attorneys and this isn’t legal advice — you’ll want an Arkansas probate attorney on your side. What we can do is take the house off your plate: we’ve bought estate properties with a will, without a will, with multiple heirs, with liens, and with a reverse mortgage. See the statewide overview on our Selling an Inherited House in Arkansas page.
Hi, I’m Justin Taylor. Founder of Best Flipping Friends LLC, licensed Arkansas Realtor with Dustin White Realty, and the person who will actually answer when you call. I live and work in Northeast Arkansas, and Jonesboro is home turf for us.
My wife Emily and I buy houses with our own money, so there’s no waiting on a bank and no wholesaler shopping your address around. Because I’m licensed, I can also tell you honestly when listing would net you more than a cash sale — and handle that listing if you want. You get one point of contact, a written offer, and a closing date we actually hit.
We buy houses in every part of Jonesboro and throughout Craighead County, including:
Nearby towns: Bono, Brookland, Bay, Lake City, Monette, Caraway, Trumann, Harrisburg, Walnut Ridge. ZIP codes: 72401, 72404, 72405.

Often, yes. If the will grants the personal representative power of sale, or the court approves a petition to sell, the house can close while the estate is still open. For small estates, the deed of distribution lets heirs sell soon after the 45-day mark. Your attorney will confirm which applies; we’ll write the contract to match.
No. Take the photos, the tools, the china — whatever matters to your family — and leave the rest. We’ve bought houses in Jonesboro that were packed to the ceiling.
All of that is paid off at closing out of the sale proceeds, handled by the title company. We’ve closed on inherited properties with every one of those issues.
Everyone with an ownership interest (or the personal representative acting for the estate) has to sign. We’re used to coordinating signatures across several states, and the title company can send each heir their share directly.
We start from what the house would sell for fully renovated in today’s Jonesboro market, subtract the real cost of the repairs and our margin, and show you the math. It’s a written, no-obligation offer — and if a listing after repairs would net you more, Justin will tell you.
For estates under $100,000 (after debts), the small estate affidavit lets heirs settle things through the probate clerk without a full administration, starting 45 days after the death. It’s a common route for older, paid-off homes in Craighead County.
No cost, no obligation, no pressure. Tell us about the house and where the estate stands, and we’ll give you a real number and a real plan — one you can share with your family and your attorney.
