| Probate Realtor for Heirs of Estate Property |
|
 A specialty of mine is working with family members and heirs of West Seattle probate and estate homes and condos. I have been involved in many West Seattle probate/estate home sale transactions.
With homes that have been willed to and inherited by those from an estate, there are many issues to consider, and every situation is unique.
Wills, trusts, probate, attorneys, personal representatives, and all the details that need to be tended to. Of course, the sale of a loved one's home can be very emotional. I know this from my own personal experience when my parents passed away.

Get the Most Money for the Estate
|
|
As your probate realtor, I want you to get the most money possible for the home. This is my primary goal. I will put together a detailed market analysis for you (or the executor), which will explain what the highest price is that you can expect in today's market. There is no cost to you or to the estate, and there is no obligation. It will state what you should be able to receive for the home by selling it in "as-is" condition. I will also state in the analysis a higher price that may be attainable if you choose to "spruce it up" a bit.

Estate Home Legal Matters
|
|
There are often times associated matters to take care of, if you haven't done so already. Probate costs, trusts, wills and other legal issues, to name just a few. I can help you with this if you wish. And I would be happy to recommend a few excellent attorneys for estate, probate, will, family, and trusts. They can best advise you on whether you still need to go through the formal probate process, if that is needed, or use some other method.

Preparing the Estate Home for Sale
|
|
Personal items are often in need of finding a new home, and I can put you in contact with a few companies that specialize in those services as well.
Preparing the home for sale can be daunting, depending on whether the home has been kept in good shape. Perhaps it could use some cleaning and/or repair. As mentioned above, I will offer suggestions on how to best "make it shine" for very little cost. Or you can choose to do nothing if you wish, and just sell it "as-is". It is completely up to you.

Price & Value
|
|
Determining value and getting a high selling price takes expertise. Sometimes estate homes are a bit rough around the edges, so this should be taken into account. We'll talk about this, and much more, and how best to make your estate home sell for top dollar. I excel at this.
