Let Me Guide You Through This Difficult Time.
Being the Personal Representative or Trustee for a loved one’s estate can feel like an overwhelming and insurmountable task. At a time when you are most likely experiencing a significant amount of grief, even taking the first step towards settling an estate can be challenging. As an experienced Estate Solutions Specialist and Realtor, I am dedicated to helping Personal Representatives, Trustees and their families navigate the estate settlement process as it pertains to real and personal property. Undoubtedly, difficult conversations will need to happen and hard decisions will have to be made. It is my role to make sure you feel educated and supported, provide you with options and connect you with highly vetted and competent professionals to help you complete the job. I am available to help facilitate what can often be highly emotionally charged conversations with family members and other heirs. By working closely with my clients, I help reduce the amount of responsibility and stress typically shouldered by the Personal Representative or Trustee.
Settling an estate will never be easy, but with a trusted advisor by your side, it can be significantly less lonely.
Need To Sell The Property Quickly?
When time is of the essence, working with investors and cash buyers can be the answer for many. I will connect you with cash buyers from my list of qualified investors. It is not uncommon to take this route, as it may be necessary to allow a surviving spouse to move into a more suitable location, handle medical or other bills or simply get asset funds into the hands of the heirs quickly. Investors are often able to make cash offers quickly, on almost any property while striving to close quickly and smoothly. Of course, timelines are frequently subject to the court’s ability to get to your case specifically, but our efforts minimize these delays whenever possible.
Do you need to maximize the selling price to provide the greatest cash benefit to the heirs/stakeholders?
When maximum revenue is the focus, it is often the more traditional path that makes the most sense. A thorough Comparative Market Analysis will help determine what the property is worth in the current market. We will discuss if there are any repairs or minor updates that can help you get the most out of the sale. It is essential the property is priced properly and marketed aggressively and intelligently to assure maximum exposure. As the agent for the estate, I oversee all parts of the transaction and advocate on your behalf to get the best price and terms. My consistent communication with the title company will ensure all necessary documents are submitted to avoid any missteps or mistakes that can delay the closing.
What If You Are The Attorney?
Typically the attorney of record has one of two roles. He/She is either appointed to the task by the court or selected by the family personal advisor. If you have been court-appointed, then your role is usually focused strictly on the legal issues regarding any transactions and dispersal of assets. However, if you are retained by the family or the personal representative, your role usually extends to include a more advisory capacity as well. In either case, I will keep you well-informed about any aspect of the process in which we are involved – especially when it comes to fielding offers on the real estate.
In some cases, the family or personal advisor will want ALL aspects of the probate to be handled completely by the attorney. In these cases, I will work with you as “the client” regarding the real estate, freeing up your time and decreasing administrative overload.
