Probate real estate is NOT like “regular” real estate. With probate real estate there are MANY more variables that will impact the outcome of a transaction. Choosing the wrong path can cost you tens of thousands of dollars and many sleepless nights.
That’s why when dealing with probate real estate your most valuable resource is a real estate team that is TRAINED and EXPERIENCED in handling the nuances and avoiding the many pitfalls of handling probate property sales. We help make sure that everything stays on track to get you the best results with the minimum hassle.
Everyone wants an accurate opinion of their property's value. Price it too high and it'll sit for months (and ultimately net you less). Price it too low and you've squandered the asset. And oftentimes the estate needs an opinion of value from "back when" for tax purposes. We can help.
Sometimes a rogue heir can derail a transaction. Oftentimes that's simply because things aren't being communicated in a way that gets "buy-in". Sometimes, because emotions can run high among the heirs, it's just a matter of WHO says something. We can help.
If your goal is to maximize the net to the estate we have to get the property looking its best in order to maximize market interest. From cleanouts, to cleanups, we can help.
Many properties need some TLC in the repair department. But you have to weigh the cost/benefits so that you're not dumping a ton of money into the property that you'll never get back. Plus, knowing which handymen and contractors you can trust is hard. We can help.
Sometimes the executor and the heirs want to know if there is any hidden value in the possessions left behind. That's where an estate liquidation company enters the picture. We can make the introductions.
We strongly advise most executors NOT to sell their home to a specific cash buyer without using our system to solicit bids from other buyers. Plus - Did you know that many "Cash Buyers" don't actually HAVE the cash to buy your home? If you want to sell the home for the highest price to a true vetted cash buyer - we can help.
Sometimes executors need money upfront to complete the probate process and settle the estate. We can introduce you to trusted and reliable probate estate lenders.
A lot of attorneys will offer to "handle" probate. But there are only a few attorneys who specialize in probate and who have the experience of handling multiple cases each month. So whether you need a probate attorney for the first time or if you're getting the sinking feeling that you picked the wrong attorney at the start - we know people.
