How to Sell a House in Probate or a Trust

How to Get Your Probate Real Estate Property Sold

Selling Florida probate real estate or property held in a trust can be challenging. Your choice of an experienced Realtor who is knowledgeable of the probate process to help you in the sale of the property is of utmost importance.

The selling of probate real estate does not have to be difficult. An experienced, knowledgeable probate real estate agent will make all the difference in meeting important deadlines and making sure the sale of the property goes smoothly.

We specialize in helping families who have inherited properties in probate and trusts. Our goal is to make the sale of the property as simple and easy as possible for you.

We give you the information you need to make the best decision for your particular situation and we keep you informed with regular updates throughout the process.

Marketing a House in Probate, Trust or Conservatorship

Getting real property sold involves more than simply placing it in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and posting a sign. Those steps are important, of course, but for The Smeaton Team, successful marketing includes close communication with the seller, as well as in-depth knowledge of the property and the neighborhood.
