Selling an Inherited House While Still in Probate

Losing a parent and inheriting their house at the same time is hard enough without unknown liens and probate paperwork piling on top. Temprince and Angelice’s story shows how to sell an inherited house fast in Michigan, even while everything else feels overwhelming.

How Temprince and Angelice Sold Their Highland Park Home

Temprince and Angelice, sisters close to Alex’s own age, had lost their mother and were going through probate while moving into the house to handle the estate. There were liens on the property they didn’t even know about, along with paperwork that still needed to be dealt with. Temprince reached out through our website, and she and Alex got on the phone.

We gave them options, a quick cash close or our Retail Buyer Program, and they chose to sell quicker, directly to a buyer in our network. We sent someone out for a walkthrough and closed a few weeks later. There were some title issues that needed to be cleared up to transfer the property cleanly, but we worked through that together.

Even though they had recently lost their mother, Temprince and Angelice were still able to be in good spirits on the phone, with some lighthearted conversation and jokes along the way. Everyone came out of the transaction better off, and glad to have worked together.

“Had the pleasure of working with Alex while in probate court. He was kind, patient and extremely resourceful. We were able to secure a buyer and sale quickly.”
