Why You Need Me as Your Probate Real Estate Agent

Selling a probate property is not like selling a typical home. It comes with legal requirements, court oversight, and potential family disputes. If you’re the executor or heir of an estate, you need an experienced probate real estate agent who understands these complexities and knows how to navigate them effectively. That’s where I come in.

Independent Appraisals vs. Market Value

One of the most misunderstood aspects of probate sales is the property appraisal. Courts often require an independent appraisal to establish a baseline value for the home. However, these appraisals do not always reflect what a skilled real estate agent can secure on the open market.

Here’s why:

• Appraisals Are Conservative – Independent appraisers use past sales and standard formulas, which may not account for market trends, buyer demand, or unique property features.

• Market Conditions Change – The real estate market is dynamic. A home may be worth significantly more when marketed correctly to active buyers.

• Marketing & Negotiation Matter – I specialize in positioning probate properties to attract the right buyers, often resulting in a sale price that exceeds the appraised value.

With my expertise, I ensure your probate home isn’t just valued correctly—it’s marketed strategically to maximize your return.

Experience Matters in Probate Real Estate

Probate transactions can be filled with unexpected challenges. Over my years of working with estate sales, I’ve handled almost every issue that can arise, including:

• Heirs Disagreeing on the Sale – I mediate discussions and provide clear market data to help families make informed decisions.

• Homes in Disrepair – Many probate properties need repairs, but I know how to sell them “as-is” while still attracting strong offers.

• Court & Legal Requirements – I guide you through the necessary probate steps to ensure compliance with all legal obligations.

• Delays & Buyer Issues – Probate sales require a specific type of buyer. I vet potential buyers thoroughly to prevent delays.
