Inherited, Probate and Estate Homes in Far Northwest Austin: what's different here
An inherited Far Northwest Austin home can't sell until ownership has been legally moved to the heirs and recorded, because a title company won't insure the sale before then. Even the newer homes out here are now old enough that original roofs, AC systems and water heaters come up at sale time.
A Texas probate attorney decides the path, such as muniment of title or a full administration. I get the house ready so it can go to market when the paperwork does.

Why Far Northwest Austin sellers work with me
I've lived in Northwest Austin since 1976, and much of my recent business has been along the Parmer and 183 corridors as buyers follow the jobs north. I've sold a family home of more than 30 years in Spicewood Estates through an estate sale and probate, and I know how much of the work happens before the listing. In Far Northwest Austin, many similar homes can be listed at once, so pricing and presentation decide which one buyers choose.
How I handle it in Far Northwest Austin

Frequently Asked Questions
Can we list an inherited Far Northwest Austin home before probate is done?
Often you can prepare it and sometimes list, but it can't close until the transfer of ownership is complete and recorded. Your probate attorney will know what your situation allows.
Do you help with the estate sale?
Yes. I coordinate estate sales, sorting and haul-off so the house is ready when the paperwork is.
