PROBATE vs. TRADITIONAL SALE: What Every Estate Representative Should Understand

Selling a home in probate isn’t like selling a regular house, and if you’re the executor, trustee, or administrator, it’s important to understand the differences.

In a traditional sale, the homeowner is alive, available to make repairs, prepare the property, and coordinate showings. In a probate sale, the person responsible for selling the property is the estate representative, and that comes with unique challenges and responsibilities.

We’ve seen every kind of situation: properties filled with decades of belongings, families across multiple states, or homes in need of major repairs.
