Handeling Estate Issues is difficult

Whether you are a newly appointed personal representative, executor/executrix or an attorney that has been retained by the estate or appointed by the court, it’s an absolute certainty that there will be difficult moments ahead.

Often the person chosen to manage the affairs of the estate and deal with the deceased person’s probate issues is also someone who is still grieving over the loss of that loved one or friend. Then, that same person is faced with the added challenge of having to make many decisions in areas in which they have no previous experience.

Decisions must be made with the added pressure of knowing that they will likely be very closely scrutinized and (all too frequently) second-guessed by family and/or friends. Couple this with the legitimate concern that everything must be handled “legally and properly” and the pressure and stress really begin to mount.

Even if there is no real estate in the matters to be disposed of by the personal representative, this is a big undertaking and when Real Estate is involved, the load is compounded. I have put together a team to help with all of details.

Jamie West, Certified Probate Expert

I’m the Broker and Owner of my company with a proven track record of successfully negotiating for both buyers, and  for over 18 years. Dealing with probate is not a simple task so knowing how to assist clients who suddenly find they are in need of selling an inherited property and handling a loved one’s estate takes a certain kind of Realtor to work with.

I have put together a team of associates with an extraordinary list of combined experience and resources. Together we can provide guidance through this not so straight or obvious process.

I  have created a specific road map to assist you through this process.  I will first seek to understand your specific goals and then provide a plan of action and a one-stop solution for you and be there all the way to the end. I have personally dealt with multiple relocations and renovations of real estate. I am also a Certified Probate Expert.

“I am committed to helping families through this difficult time by providing resources and explaining the options when selling an estate.”

Resources to Assist

The process of selling your loved one’s home is likely going to be emotionally challenging, from the sorting of the personal belongings to the finalization of the sale at the closing table. By surrounding yourself with professionals who are empathetic and helpful, this process can be easier.

Everyone needs time to deal with the passing of a loved one. When it’s time to liquidate the real estate in the estate, you need to take the appropriate steps to learn the market, educate yourself and find an empathetic REALTOR® that can save you time, money and headaches during the transaction. My team is ready to help in every phase of the transaction and get the terms you and your family want and need. We will help you determine specifically what the most critical objective or objectives are regarding the real estate that’s involved in the probate.

Do you need to sell of the property as quickly as possible?

If so, we can provide immediate cash buyers from our list of qualified investors. Often, this is vital 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. Our investors can often make offers within 24 hours on almost any property and can close really quickly. Sometimes, funds can even be advanced prior to closing. Of course, timelines are frequently subject to the courts and filing timelines which are beyond our control, but our efforts minimize these delays whenever possible.

Do you need to maximize the selling price to provide the greatest cash value for the estate?

When maximum revenue is the focus, we’ll make certain the property is not only listed properly but marketed aggressively and intelligently to assure maximum exposure. We’ll make sure you know exactly what the property is worth if you are willing to wait for the right buyer and we’ll help you determine any possible repairs (if any) that might add more to the final selling price than their cost – in other words, the greatest bang for the buck. Be aware that all too often, ill-informed sellers spend far too much on repairs that do not even cover their cost in the final sale price. This is where our experience, preparation, and savvy marketing skills come into play.
