Personal Representatives: Have Mountain View Probate Sales Inspected

If you are a Personal Representative for a Mountain View Probate Sale I am sure you are overwhelmed with all of your responsibilities. It is not an easy job! You may be charged with selling a home or condo in Mountain View in Probate. If so, this a a great time to be doing that. However, even in a strong seller's market, you have to do whatever you can to get the best offer for the Mountain View Ca Probate estate.

One of the most important things you can do right now is to get the Mountain View probate home fully inspected before you put it on the market. It may seem as if you are spending money on inspections that could be spent by the potential buyer. After all, the buyer of the Mountain View Probate home you are selling has to buy it "As -Is" so the estate will not be making any repairs anyway.

This is a common mistake that many Personal Representatives of Mountain View Probate homes who are not from this area make. While it is true that the estate will not be making any repairs, it is also true that most buyers in this area are very familiar with how most Mountain View sellers market their homes. The inspections are done ahead of time and most of the offers will be non contingent on an evaluation of the property condition. They are comfortable with the condition, and once their offer is accepted you have a done deal. If you do not do the inspections before putting the Mountain View Probate home on the market, you could very easily end up with a buyer who wants to renegotiate the price or a sale that falls through. This can be very problematic if there are expenses involved in holding the home before it sells. These could include mortgages, taxes, insurance, lawn care, etc. If the estate is cash poor and house rich, which many Mountain view Probate homes are, it can be very complicated to find the money in a delay.

The competition for Mountain View homes and condos for sale is fierce. Buyers are willing to pay a lot of money and give you wonderful offers for your Mountain View Probate sale, but they want to know what they are getting. If you have your Mountain View Probate home fully inspected before it goes on the market, price it appropriately, and market it widely, you will have the best chance of getting the best offers for the estate, and therefore doing the best job you can as the Personal Representative.

Don’t Hold Up Mountain View Probate Sale: Get Your Letters Certified

And by certified I don’t mean on Sesame Street.

There is nothing worse than getting to the closing of your Mountain View probate sale and finding out, oops you can’t close.  Or even worse, you are an out of town Personal Representative on this Silicon Valley Probate Sale and you are told there is a hold up. You need a CERTIFIED COPY OF YOUR LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION in order to close the sale. Where are they? Did you leave them out the house? Did you leave them with your attorney?

Make sure that you have these letters in the certified form in your possession so that you can get them to the title company so that you can close this escrow.

There are many things to remember when you have the responsibility of an estate, whether it is a large or small one. There is a lot of paper work. You probably are dealing with mounds of paperwork from your deceased loved one as well as from the court.

Just treat the Letters of Administration like gold, since this is what proves you have the right to sell a home that does not belong to you. If you can not find anything else, find these and you can deal with the other papers later.

If you have any questions about buying or selling Probate Sales in Santa Clara County or San Mateo County  please free to contact me.
