Real Estate and The Estate.

By Martin Cross, January 2, 2024

I do a lot of work with estates. These transactions are typically much more involved than the typical real estate transaction. There has often been a death in the family, and besides all of the emotions that come with death, there usually comes a huge, overwhelming to do list involved with clearing the estate and getting the house prepared for market.

The home is usually full of the owners possessions, and often the heirs have no idea what to do with them beyond distributing what items the family members may want. I help them sort through the different ways of accomplishing that whether via an estate sale, dividing among family members or simply hiring a clear out company. 

After the estate is cleared, then there is the home cleanup and repairs. This can consist of everything from a simple cleaning to extensive repairs to different aspects and systems of the home.

This all needs to be coordinated and accomplished while offering compassionate support to the estates personal representative or trustee as well as other heirs. Combining my 25 years working with estates as an antique and art dealer with my life as a Realtor I’m uniquely positioned to happily offer this type of specialized assistance.
