Probate and Trust Sales
I've sold probate and trust homes before and taken a class on probate, and I'll be honest about how time-consuming they can be.
What a Probate or Trust Sale Means in Manteca
A probate or trust sale usually comes at a hard time. A family member has passed away, and someone, often an executor or a trustee, is responsible for selling the home. Sometimes the home was left out of a trust and has to go through probate, which means the court is involved and the sale takes longer than a regular one.
These sales are time-consuming, and I'll tell you that honestly from the start. My job is to take the home side off your plate while the legal side runs its course.
How Carolyn Cardoza Helps With Probate and Trust Sales
I'm Carolyn Cardoza, Broker Associate and REALTOR® with Realty 1 Team, and I've sold homes across the Central Valley since 2007. I've sold a probate home before, and I took a class on probate so I understand how the process works. My license is CA DRE #00708846.
I'm not an attorney and I don't give legal advice. Your attorney handles the legal side, and I handle getting the home ready and sold.
What You Get
- A first conversation with you, the executor or trustee, about the home and where things stand.
- A listing agreement, and then I get the home ready to list.
- Regular check-ins with you and your attorney, so I know where things are in the court process.
- The same pricing, marketing, and offer handling every seller gets. See my selling process page for the details, or ask for a free home value.
It can take a while, and I stay with you until it's taken care of.
