Selling Real Estate?

Often one of the most valuable assets in a probate estate is also the most difficult asset: real estate.

With the value of real estate comes the expenses of maintaining the property, keeping up with the mortgage payments, paying the property taxes, and ultimately the costs associated with selling the property. When evaluating how to dispose of the property, it is important that you balance the desire to get top dollar for the sale with the costs associated with holding onto the real estate. Below we have a chart outlining the benefits and risk of listing the property with a real estate agent vs. disposing of the property in a private sale.
