To inherit a property; could be a wonderful GIFT and/or a terrible HEADCHE. 

​

Selling a property under Probate is not as easy as just listing the property with a Real Estate Agent or selling “For Sale by Owner”; it requires court approval and/or steps prior to selling it.

​

During the probate process, you MUST keep property taxes, mortgage, insurance, association, utilities, etc. payments up to date.

The property may have pending legal issues, liens/open permits, needing of repairs/updates and/or the property may be located out of state. 

You will need to follow a few required steps prior to selling your property (not all steps may apply to you).

​

1. Obtain permission from the court (or assigned Probate Judge)

2. Always obtain a Market Value on your property - We will conduct a Free Market Analysis at no obligation.

3. Prepare the property for the Market (if listing with a Real Estate agent or sell by owner)

4. Obtain Offers.  Depending on your probate process, you may need pre-approval.

5. Once steps 1 – 4 have been completed; you are really to sell & complete your transaction.  Depending on which option you decide to go about listing your property; please keep in mind of additional fees and number of days it will take to finalize the transaction. See chart below.
