Selling a house in Smithfield: common questions

Does it matter if my Smithfield house has a septic system or a cesspool?

No. I Buy Rhode Island Houses buys houses on septic systems and cesspools as they are, and Smithfield doesn't require septic inspections. Under the state's Cesspool Act, a cesspool has to be replaced or tied into sewer within 12 months after a sale, which a buyer can handle after closing.

The estate is in Smithfield's probate court. Can we still sell the house?

Usually, yes. Smithfield's probate court has an appointed judge and generally meets the first Thursday of the month at Town Hall. The executor needs a power of sale in the will or the court's license, and I Buy Rhode Island Houses can make an offer before then and close once it's in place. How selling a house in probate works.

Will you buy a house by the river in Esmond or Georgiaville?

Yes. Smithfield's mill villages were built low and close to the rivers for water power, and homes near the Woonasquatucket in Esmond and Georgiaville have had problem flooding. I Buy Rhode Island Houses buys them as they are, past water damage included.
