I’ll coordinate with your closing team and help keep the process moving to the finish line.

FAQ

Do I need probate completed before listing?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no—this depends on how title is held and what your attorney advises. I’m happy to coordinate with your legal team.

Can we sell the home as-is?

Yes. We’ll decide what makes the most sense based on condition, timeline, and your priorities.

What if there are multiple heirs making decisions?

That’s common. I’ll help keep communication clear and the process structured so decisions don’t stall.

Do you help if I live out of state?

Yes. I can handle many steps remotely with photos, video, and clear updates.
