Streamlining the Probate Property Sale Process

Updated: Apr 12




Have you ever found yourself in a situation where a cherished person in your life has left you their property? Are you at a loss as to how to handle the sale of the property through the probate process? If so, we understand the complexities that come with navigating the legalities and emotional challenges that often accompany this journey. While your primary focus is ensuring that you receive a seamless probate process through a probate attorney, we at Sandy Buys Houses would like to introduce a solution that could simplify the sale of your property within probate cases.


Here at Sandy Buys Houses, we are here to educate you.


Understanding the Traditional Probate Property Sale Process

Typically, when a property is to be sold during probate, the standard procedure involves a probate attorney connecting with a real estate agent, who then lists the property on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). It's common for the real estate agent to inflate the price, therefore the beginning of a waiting game, as the property waits for a qualified buyer to come forward at a reasonable asking price. However, in our extensive experience, we've found that most, if not all, properties in probate are distressed and often in need of significant renovations. These types of properties may not necessarily pique the interest of the average qualified buyer who is simply seeking a place to call home.


Even seasoned property investors who specialize in flipping houses might hesitate due to the listing price, which includes the agent's commission. This situation can lead to prolonged delays in finding the right buyer and meeting the heirs' needs, frequently resulting in a reduction in the property's price.


The Hidden Costs of Delay

There are also additional fees that you will be saving during the delays. An experienced probate attorney cannot control the selling process, which is why they enlist a real estate agent. During the delays and the outcome of the sale of the property, the attorney has added additional billing hours discussing your case, and the real estate agent’s commission will also be added to the costs.
