Probate & Estate Sales
Selling a home in probate? You don’t have to figure it out alone.
When a parent or loved one passes, the house becomes one more thing to manage. As a Realtor who understands condition, value, and the estate timeline, I guide families through the sale with patience and a clear plan.

Why families choose a probate real estate agent
Probate and estate sales aren’t ordinary transactions. There are court timelines, multiple heirs, homes that haven’t been updated in decades, and emotions running underneath all of it. You want an agent who has done this before and can lower the temperature — not add to it.
As a licensed home inspector and former appraiser, I can tell you quickly what the home is worth as-is, what it would be worth with work, and which path actually nets the estate more. That’s the difference between guessing and knowing.
What to look for in a probate or estate-sale agent
- Experience coordinating with attorneys, executors, and multiple heirs
- An honest as-is valuation — so you’re not over-improving a home you’re selling
- Vendor connections for cleanouts, repairs, and estate services
- Patience, discretion, and clear communication for the whole family
What not to expect
No pressure to list before the estate is ready. No pushing costly renovations that won’t return their cost. No confusing legal-speak — I’ll keep it plain and coordinate with your attorney.
What to expect
A clear as-is value, a realistic timeline that respects the court process, one point of contact for the whole family, and a sale that protects the estate’s bottom line.
The Process
A calm, step-by-step path.
