Understanding the Challenges of Selling from Afar
Selling a home from out of state presents unique challenges. You’re not there to oversee repairs, meet with agents, or handle the logistics in person. Fortunately, many homeowners choose to work with cash buyers like ACE HomeBuyers to avoid these hurdles. We buy houses in Maryland in any condition, so you can move on with your life.
Managing repairs from a distance can make it tough to assess a home's condition or decide which updates are necessary. Unfamiliarity with the local market adds another layer of uncertainty, especially when trying to time the sale. On top of that, selling a home in Maryland while living in another state often means dealing with complex legal steps and paperwork.
Despite these challenges, there are clear benefits to working with a local cash home buyer. They typically handle all the details of the sale, so you don’t have to worry about repairs, inspections, or waiting for a traditional buyer’s mortgage to be approved. In fact, according to Redfin, 32.6% of U.S. home purchases in 2024 were made in cash.
For families selling an inherited house from out of state, this streamlined approach can speed up the process, allowing you to focus on what matters most during a difficult time.
How to Sell Your Maryland Home from Afar
Selling your home from out of state can be quick and easy, especially when you choose to work with a cash buyer like ACE HomeBuyers. Here’s how our home-buying process works:
Step 1: Provide Property Details
Fill out a simple form with details about your property. No need for in-person meetings—everything can be done remotely.
Step 2: Property Assessment
The buyer will schedule a local visit to assess your home’s condition and determine a fair offer.
Step 3: Receive Your Cash Offer
After the assessment, you’ll receive a cash offer based on your home’s market value, typically within 24 hours.
Step 4: Review and Accept the Offer
Once you accept the offer, the buyer will handle all the paperwork, ensuring you understand every step.
Step 5: Choose Your Closing Date
You choose the closing date that works best for you—whether you want to close quickly or take more time.
Step 6: Close and Receive Cash
Close the sale and receive your payment quickly and easily. The process is fast, stress-free, and handled remotely.
This simple process eliminates the usual hassles of selling a home and makes it easy for out-of-state sellers to complete the sale from anywhere—even during the stressful transition of moving a parent into assisted living.

Michele Michael
I am so happy to have found Tyler and Brett at ACE. In a world where everyone is out for themselves, these men are both a breath of fresh air. They are upfront and honest and made our transaction so seamless and easy. Very easy to work with and I will 100% recommend them to others and do business with them again, given the opportunity.
Olga Michaelidis
Calling Ace Homebuyers was the best decision I made when looking to help sell my parent’s house. Tyler and Brett are not only very professional, but they made the process super easy. They took care of everything. After my Dad passed away, we need to move my mom closer to my siblings. This required us to sell the house that my parents spent 41 years in.

The Financial and Tax Considerations for Out-of-State Sellers
Before moving forward with selling your home, it's important to consider the tax implications and financial aspects of the sale.
Learn about us here if you're exploring your options—we specialize in navigating these complexities with ease, including coordination with your title company to ensure a smooth closing process.
If the property has appreciated since the original purchase, you may be subject to capital gains tax.
However, if the home was inherited, you might qualify for a stepped-up basis, which can significantly reduce your tax liability.
Real estate taxes are another factor to keep in mind. Maryland imposes a statewide transfer tax that must be paid at closing, and depending on the location of the property, there may also be additional local taxes. Be sure to consult a tax advisor about how the sale could impact your tax return, especially if you're reporting gains or losses from an out-of-state transaction.
If the property was inherited, you should also be aware of Maryland’s inheritance tax. While the state does impose this tax, lineal heirs—such as children, parents, and siblings—are typically exempt.
Selling to a cash buyer is a smart, straightforward choice when you're navigating the complexities of taxes on selling inherited homes in Maryland.
Why Selling to a Cash Buyer Makes Sense for Out-of-State Sellers
Selling a home remotely can be a headache, but working with a cash buyer can make everything much easier. Here’s why:
- No Repairs Needed: Cash buyers will purchase the home as-is, saving you the hassle and cost of repairs.
- Quick Closing: Cash buyers can close in as little as 7-10 days, so you won’t have to wait months for a buyer to secure financing.
- Less Stress: No need for open houses, showings, or dealing with picky buyers. The sale happens quickly and smoothly.
- Fair Offers: Cash buyers offer fair, transparent offers based on the condition of the property, so you know exactly what you’re getting.
By selling to a cash buyer, you get a fair price and a quick, hassle-free transaction—just what out-of-state sellers need.
