Common Mistakes When Selling Probate Property

by Joseph White

A few avoidable mistakes can cost the estate thousands. Here are the most common ones I see:

  • Waiting too long to start clean‑out • Over‑improving the home • Under‑pricing or over‑pricing • Not securing the property • Choosing an agent without probate experience • Poor communication among heirs

The good news? Every one of these mistakes is preventable.

If you want a second opinion before listing, I’m happy to help.
