How I help personal representatives and trustees
I bring more than two decades of experience and probate-specific education. I help you understand the real estate side, coordinate preparation and the sale within my scope, and work alongside your attorney, CPA and advisers rather than in place of them. I am an Associate Broker with Coldwell Banker Realty, and I can coordinate locally if you live out of state.
First steps
Secure the home, check that the insurance covers a vacant property and talk with your attorney about who signs and when. Then a clear home value gives heirs a number they can see the reasoning for. More detail: probate and trust sales.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can an inherited Sheaborhood home be sold as-is?
Often, yes. Some estates sell as-is; others benefit from cleaning or targeted repairs. I show you how condition affects value so you can decide.
Who signs to sell an estate home?
Usually the personal representative or trustee, as your attorney confirms.
