Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist

Compassionate, Expert Guidance for Estate Property Sales

Selling a home through probate can feel overwhelming during an already difficult time. As a Certified Probate Specialist, I help executors, personal representatives, and families navigate the complex process of selling inherited property in Florida with care, clarity, and professionalism.

Why Work With a Certified Probate Specialist?

Probate real estate transactions require specialized knowledge that most real estate agents simply don't have. My certification means I understand:

Florida probate laws and timelines
Court requirements and documentation
Working with executors, attorneys, and beneficiaries
Estate property valuations and pricing strategies
Managing properties that may need repairs or cleanouts
Coordinating with probate attorneys and financial advisors

Whether you're handling an estate for a parent, family member, or client, I provide the expertise and support you need to complete the sale efficiently and respectfully.

Understanding Florida Probate Real Estate

What is probate?

Probate is the legal process of settling a deceased person's estate, including the sale of real property. In Florida, probate is required even if the deceased had a will.

Important for out-of-state families: If the deceased owned property in Florida, that property must be probated in Florida even if the deceased lived in or passed away in another state. Florida real estate is governed by Florida probate law regardless of where the owner resided.

When is probate required?

The deceased owned property in Florida; this includes bank & investment accounts, cars, furniture, boats, rvs, etc. Anytime the value of everything combined exceeds $75,000
Real estate held without survivorship rights or transfer-on-death designation
When beneficiaries need to sell the inherited property
