SOUND FAMILIAR?
Cash buyers start sending letters. Someone mentions the court has to sign off. A relative is sure the house is worth more than it is. And you're trying to do right by the family while you grieve.
Most of the stress comes from not knowing what happens next, or in what order.
This guide lays out the whole process, start to finish, so you can make decisions with a clear head.
WHAT'S INSIDE
Each chapter answers the question families ask me on a first call.
Your role as personal representative, in plain language, and why the title has to be clear before the house can close.
The one detail in the will that decides whether a judge has to approve the sale, plus the real legal timeframes.
An honest side-by-side of both options, which houses fit each, and the trade-offs of each road.
Wholesalers vs. direct investors, and three questions to ask before you sign anything.
Real, sourced numbers for Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Ponte Vedra Beach, and what they mean for pricing an estate home.
Cleanouts, estate sales, and repairs that pay, and how to get it done whether you're local or out of state.
How the house reaches buyers, how to weigh offers, and where court approval fits in.
Every step from the court order to the final accounting, in the order it happens.
13 steps from "right away" to "case closed." Print it, stick it on the fridge, tick them off.

WHY FAMILIES WORK WITH ME
I've sold homes for 25 years and spent the last 6 on nothing but inherited property. Here's how I help.
You get a cash offer from multiple investors and a list-on-market comparison, so the family decides with real numbers in front of them, not pressure behind them.
Honest pricing for older homes, marketing a house that isn't showroom-ready, and handling offers when the seller is an estate.
I work directly with your probate attorney and the title company, so the closing doesn't stall.
Some estates need the full package. Some just need the house sold well. Both are fine.
For estates that need it, cleanouts, estate sales, and repairs are available as my optional Probate Property Angels service package.

MEET YOUR GUIDE
I'm a listing agent specializing in inherited property sales in Northeast Florida.
I didn't switch careers into real estate. I switched specialties inside it, bringing two decades of listing experience into a niche most agents avoid because they don't understand the court process. After more than a hundred of these transactions, I usually see the problems before they reach your file.
I wrote this guide so you can walk into the process knowing what's coming, whether or not you ever work with me.
My promise: I never give legal or tax advice. I work directly with your probate attorney and the title company. The legal side goes to them, and I handle everything on the property side.
