How much do probate realtors charge?

Most probate realtors charge a standard real estate commission, typically paid out of the proceeds of the sale at closing. This means there are usually no out-of-pocket costs for the executor or the heirs to hire a specialist to manage the transaction.

Can I sell a probate house "as-is"?

Yes, most probate real estate sales are conducted “as-is.” Because the personal representative often has no personal knowledge of the home’s history, they are exempt from many of the standard property disclosure requirements. We help you navigate these exemptions to protect the estate from future liability.

Why shouldn't I just use a regular real estate agent?

A regular agent may not be familiar with the “Notice of Proposed Action” or the specific timelines required by the Michigan Estates and Protected Individuals Code (EPIC). Using one of the best probate real estate agents ensures you avoid legal delays that could cost the estate thousands of dollars in carrying costs.
