From time to time, we deal with clients who have inherited a property and need to sell it. If you or someone you know is in this situation, here’s what you need to know.
If the property is coming from someone in your family who has passed away, it’s always important to start by figuring out whether there is a will in place or if you need to go through the probate process. Time and time again, we sell properties where families haven’t asked that question yet, but want to sell quickly. Probate can take up to six months, so it’s important to know about that up front.
Staging is one way to increase your final sale price.
Sometimes an inherited property will be older and outdated. In the age of HGTV, today’s buyers want to buy a modern, turnkey home. If your home doesn’t look like that, what can you do?
You can start with staging, but that’s something that should be decided on a case-by-case basis. We can also help offer you advice on the renovations and updates that make sense for you, your timeframe, and the goals of your sale. We’re happy to provide you with different pricing options when it comes to selling an inherited home. We’d be happy to come take a look at your inherited property to determine what the best price is for you and your situation.
If you have any questions for me in the meantime, don’t hesitate to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
