Before & After: An Estate Sale Tale

Estates. They just have to be dealt with when someone passes away. We understand the heightened emotional and financial burdens that estates sometimes present. Here is a perfect scenario of a recent client of ours and how The Tucker Team took care of it all!

The personal representative was the decedent's sister who lived in Louisiana. She and several relatives had been at the home for a few days and loaded up the personal property that they wished to keep and asked that we get rid of everything else. The family had limited resources and needed to get back home to Louisiana. The family met us at the home and provided them with a Market Analysis of the home. We explained to them the importance of repairing the bathroom that was not usable and how with limited investment, the home would sell for thousands more. The personal representative agreed and The Tucker Team arranged and paid for our contractor to repair the tub surround as well as all clean out expenses and held a 2-day estate/garage sale to eliminate undue financial burdens on the family until closing.

We also:

• Contacted survey companies and identified that a back parcel of land was not part of the current estate and came up with a plan to deal with it inexpensively

• Had the home professionally cleaned and staged with professional photos & 3D Tour

• Received a Cash Offer for $90,000 over asking price along with 13 other offers and 72 Showings!

Within three months the home was sold and the money disbursed to the family!
