Navigating the Complexities of Estate Settlement
How Terry Overcame Legal Hurdles and Sold a Challenging Property.
Settling an estate can be overwhelming, as Terry discovered when he inherited his dad’s property. The house was in disrepair, and the cost to rehab it outweighed its market value. We connected Terry with investors who offered a fair price, arranged a roll-off company to handle debris, and negotiated favorable terms.
During the closing process, an unexpected legal issue surfaced: his late stepmother’s death certificate hadn’t been filed, and her estate wasn’t settled. We helped Terry secure a probate lawyer to resolve the issue. After six months, the legal hurdles were cleared, and Terry successfully closed the sale, ready to move forward with his life.
How did Sarah transform a lifetime of memories into a swift, profitable sale?
After her husband’s passing, Sarah decided to downsize from her home of 50 years to move closer to family. With no experience selling a home, she turned to us for guidance. We provided her with a comprehensive seller’s guide, which she used throughout the process. During a walkthrough, we identified minor updates to boost appeal, including tidying the yard, repainting, servicing the furnace, and cleaning carpets.
We also recommended home staging, explaining its proven benefits: staged homes sell faster and for higher prices. With her belongings cleared out, staging transformed Sarah’s home into a fresh, inviting space. The result? Her home went under contract within 24 hours, selling above the asking price. Thanks to clear updates from the title company, the closing process was seamless, and Sarah successfully started her next chapter.
