Frequently Asked Questions

So what exactly do you do?
I'm a real estate agent who works specifically with families going through probate. I help you understand where the property stands legally, walk through your real options, and either represent you in a traditional listing or help coordinate a private off-market sale — whichever path actually fits your situation.
Does this cost me anything?
No. There's no cost or obligation to talk through your situation, request information, or get a breakdown of your options.
Do I still need an attorney?
For legal questions specific to the estate, yes — an estate attorney is the right resource, and I'm glad to make an introduction. My role is focused on the property itself, not legal administration of the estate.
What if there's more than one heir?
This is common, and it's important to identify early — since in many cases all heirs need to agree and sign before a sale can move forward. I can help clarify who actually needs to be involved based on your specific situation.
How is this different from a typical cash-for-houses investor?
Most of those offers arrive without any explanation of the process itself, and without a licensed agent's obligations around disclosure. My role as an agent is to walk through the actual numbers for every realistic option — not just a single figure — so you can make an informed decision with the full picture in front of you, not just the one option being pushed.
Is there pressure to go in any particular direction?
No. Part of what I do is help you compare listing traditionally against selling off-market honestly — including the real trade-offs of each. My role is to lay out the options clearly, not to steer you. The right path is whichever one actually fits your family.
What if we're not ready to make a decision yet?
That's completely fine. A lot of what I offer — like understanding the timeline or protecting a vacant property — is useful regardless of when or whether you decide to sell.
