Selling Inherited Property in Florida
Probate Services by The Slifkin Team, REALTORS® Serving the Treasure Coast Since 2003
Preparing to Sell an Inherited House or Probate Property in Florida
Selling real estate that you or multiple people have inherited can be daunting. It is often a complex process that poses challenges to seasoned real estate professionals, let alone someone who has suddenly assumed responsibility for disposing of an estate and all of its contents.
From Cleanout to Closing
We work with local cleanout crews that will ease the job of the disposition of personal effects and cleaning out the property. Once it is ready for sale, our team can help make this difficult task far more manageable for you. We can sell the house quickly to a cash investor, auction the property, or list and sell it through the MLS utilizing traditional and digital marketing methods. In any case, we stand ready to provide guidance and assistance in getting the house on the market and procuring a buyer for the property quickly, for the best possible price, and with the least amount of stress.

Testimonials - Recent Probate and Estate Sales
"Mr. Slifkin did an amazing job of showing and finding a buyer for my mother’s home. Living in New York and selling a home in Florida can be a daunting job. Mr. Slifkin put me in touch with an individual who helped me in cleaning out and preparing the home for sale, as well as charities to donate furniture. He was familiar with the neighborhood and comparable homes for sale. We had a few prospective buyers and eventually sold the house above the asking price. Mr. Slifkin is very knowledgeable, respectful, and professional. He listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. I highly recommend him to anyone putting their home on the market. It was a very pleasant experience from start to finish."
"I needed to sell a property owned by a trust. The property is 200 miles from my office, and Eric handled everything (including paying the utilities, the cleanout, appraisal, inspection, repairs, boxing of personal papers, and ultimate sale). He constantly kept me informed, offered proper guidance on the pricing, offers/ counter-offer, and provided every detail to sell the property. He comes strongly recommended, and I second that."
"I enjoyed working with Eric and Bill. They were very candid, straight shooters, set appropriate expectations, and understand the market. Together they were very responsive to calls and questions, very helpful when it came time to closing and emptying the house. Eric and Bill responded to emails late at night and early in the AM. They were the right Realtors for us and the market."
