GreatEstates Powerful Probate Property Marketing System...

Sold Probate Estate HomeMost real estate agents do not understand the special requirements that are necessary to sell real estate while it's in probate.  Selling your property while in probate requires special knowledge and care by experienced professionals. 

We understand how to work with you, your attorney and the Colorado courts to get your property sold while it's in probate.

Below are some special considerations and complications when selling probate real estate in Colorado:

  • Vacant Properties: security, maintenance, repairs, vacant property insurance
  • Personal Property: beneficiaries, estate sale, gifts to charity
  • Pricing - Value: as-is vs. as-repaired, buyout value, normal market time vs. fast sale, stigmas
  • Preparing the Property for Market: trash removal, cleanout & staging
  • Legal Considerations: attorney review of documents, Medicaid or IRS liens, court approved sale
  • Transfer to Buyer: personal representative or trustee deed, property condition disclosure, title insurance

It's important to get the property sold for the most amount of money, in the least amount of time. That's why over time, we've developed our 10 step, 200 point powerful marketing system that gets the property SOLD:

  • Consultation Meeting: We meet to discuss what's most important to you & answer your questions.
  • Estimate the Property Value: Complete a full "appraisal style" market analysis. As-is vs. As-repaired
  • Estimate Proceeds: Provide you with a written estimate of the sale proceeds in advance.
  • Prepare the Property for Market: Estate Sale, Cleanout & Staging
  • Complete Marketing Materials for Property: Ad Copy, MLS, Signs, Photos, Brochures, Internet, more...
  • Launch Powerful Marketing System: Marketing blitz coordinated with open house to attract buyers.
  • Weekly Market Updates: Make recommendations due to changing market conditions & buyer feedback.
  • Negotiate Buyer Offers: Advise you on pros vs. cons of each offer. Get you the best price and terms.
  • Coordinate to Closing: Showings, Inspections, Appraisals, Title, Handle All Paperwork, more...
  • Manage Close Escrow: Make sure transaction is closed and you receive proceeds from the sale.

The best part is, we take care of everything. Even if you are not located in Colorado, we can handle all correspondence and the closing by email, phone, fax or snail mail. That leaves you free to deal with all of the many other things on your plate. Check out our estate service packages.
