Complicated situations

When the property isn't simple, the numbers matter more.

Inherited homes, tenants in place, major repairs, land that might be worth more than the house: these are the properties where a developer's experience helps most. You'll get options in writing, with what each one is likely to net you.

Common situations

Inherited homes

Who can sign, what probate requires, and whether to sell as-is, fix first, or let one heir buy the others out. One written report every heir can see.

Inherited home guide

Tenants in place

Pricing for an investor buyer versus an owner-occupant, rent rolls and lease review, and coordinating access and notices with your attorney.

For investment properties

Major repairs

Fix-or-skip pricing from someone who has managed builds: what repairs cost, what they add, and when an as-is sale nets more.

Selling overview

Land and development potential

Frontage, zoning, wastewater and wetlands: a first read on whether the lot supports another house, an accessory apartment or more.

Questions

Can an estate sell a house before probate is finished?

Often, yes, once a personal representative is appointed and has authority to sell, either from a power of sale in the will or a license to sell from the Probate and Family Court. Your probate attorney confirms which applies. Read the guide.

Can I sell a home with tenants living in it?

Yes. Leases and tenancies generally continue after a sale, and security deposits and last month's rent must be transferred correctly. Whether to sell occupied or vacant depends on the lease terms and the likely buyer, and an attorney should advise on any notices.

Should I sell a house that needs major work as-is?

Sometimes that's the best choice. The three-number report compares the as-is price with the cost and likely value of repairs, so you can see the difference in dollars before deciding.

How do I know if my land could be divided or developed?

It depends on zoning, frontage, wetlands, wastewater and access. I'll do a first-pass review of what the lot may allow and tell you what needs an engineer's or attorney's confirmation. See what's involved.
