Memorable Home Buyers is family owned. My dad served in Vietnam, and my brothers and uncles served too. They are part of this business now, and we were raised the same way: tell people the truth and do what you said you would.
Malachi Cooper, founder
"Malachi saved us from losing everything. We closed in 9 days and walked away with cash in hand. He was honest the whole way through — no pressure, no games."
"I was three months behind and didn't know what to do. Memorable Home Buyers explained everything clearly and made a fair offer the same day I called. Highly recommend."
"Malachi was a pleasure to work with. We inherited a home that we could not pay the repairs on. He gave us a fair price, and closed exactly when he said he would. Was a quick, easy and very convenient process."

Families selling a parent's house tell us the same thing. They do not want to hand it to a voice on the phone in another state. Malachi lives in Baltimore County, and he meets you or a family member at the house for the walkthrough. You see who is buying it, and you can ask your questions face to face.
Plenty of sellers come to us after a bad first try. One buyer kept asking for extensions while their financing fell apart. Another seller felt rushed by a local company that did not want to hear about the estate. We take the time to understand what the family is dealing with before we talk numbers.
Local
Malachi lives in Baltimore County and comes to the house.
Face to face
You meet the person buying it before you sign.
Patient
We learn the family's situation before we talk numbers.
Every estate is a little different. These are the situations families bring to us most often, and each one ends the same way: a cash offer on the house exactly as it stands.
Closets, a full basement, a garage nobody has opened in years. Take the things your family wants and leave everything else. You will not rent a dumpster or spend weekends hauling boxes.
What you can leave behind →
Siblings or cousins who each own a share and live in different places. We put one number in writing so every heir is looking at the same offer.
Selling with several owners →
You flew in for the funeral and flew home. Selling should not mean more flights. The sale runs by phone and email, and you sign where you live.
Selling an inherited house from a distance →
Original kitchen, an old furnace, a roof that is past due. The offer accounts for all of it. Nobody in the family has to manage a contractor.
How we buy houses as is →
Taxes, insurance, utilities and sometimes a mortgage keep coming due on a house nobody lives in. A quick sale stops the estate from paying them month after month.
If your parent was a landlord, the lease did not end when they passed. We can buy the house with the tenant still living there.
Selling a rented house →No agents. No waiting months. Just a fast, fair cash sale.
Fill out our short form or give us a call. Share basic property details — condition, location, and your situation. No judgment, no pressure.

You choose when to close — we can wrap up in 30 days or less, on a timeline that actually works for your life. We handle all the paperwork.
You do not have to clean it out, fix it up, or throw anything away. These are real houses we have walked through. We buy them as they sit.
If your house looks like any of these, it is exactly what we buy.
Our Promise to You
We are a family business in Parkville, and we buy houses in the same counties where we live and shop. If we treat a seller badly, we will hear about it from people we know. These are the four things we promise on every house.
The offer we agree on is the number on your settlement statement, as long as the house matches what you told us on the phone. If the walkthrough shows something big that never came up, we show you exactly what changed before anything moves forward.
Our purchase agreement is written in plain English. Take it home, show it to family or an attorney, and ask us about any line before you sign.
Tell us the closing date you need on the first call. If we cannot make it, we say so then, before you have committed to anything.
If your house would sell for more with an agent, we will tell you. Some people do not need a cash buyer, and we would rather you hear that from us.
Send the address and a few words about where the estate stands. Is a personal representative appointed yet? Is anyone living there? Is there a mortgage? We come back with a cash number you can share with the rest of the family.
Sellers often ask us twice before they sign, so here it is plainly: there are no closing costs and no realtor fees. The number we offer is the number the estate works from.
We buy inherited houses in Baltimore County, Baltimore City, Anne Arundel County, Prince George's County and Harford County.
No obligation. No fees. Response within 24 hours.
Our offer will be lower than a retail price for a fully updated house. That gap is the repairs, the cleanout and the months of carrying costs we take on. Put the two side by side before deciding.
If the house is updated and the family has time to wait, listing can put more money in the estate. We will tell you when that is the case.
It takes about two minutes and there is nothing to sign.
The short answer
If the owner was the only name on the deed, the estate opens with the Register of Wills and a personal representative is appointed. Once that person has Letters of Administration, the house can be sold, even while the estate is still open.
Probate starts in the county where the owner lived. The Register of Wills opens the estate and appoints a personal representative, usually the person named in the will or a close family member when there is no will. The Letters of Administration that come with the appointment are what the title company asks for at closing.
A Maryland estate often takes most of a year to settle. Creditors have six months from the date of death to file claims, and the personal representative should not pay everything out before that window closes. The house does not have to wait for all of that. It can be sold during administration, and the money goes into the estate until it is distributed.
Some houses never go through probate at all. A home held jointly with right of survivorship, owned by a married couple as tenants by the entirety, or placed in a living trust passes straight to the surviving owner or the trust. In those cases the sale can move as soon as the family is ready.
Wherever your estate is in that process, we can make an offer now and set the closing around the paperwork. For the full walkthrough, including taxes and who has the right to sell, read how to sell an inherited house in Maryland.
