Bernie Stephan, Eco Realty - A GUIDE TO SELLING AN INHERITED HOME

Involve Family Members

Open communication is key. Involving family in decisions ensures fairness, reduces conflicts, and fosters collaboration during this emotional time.

Categorize and Organize

Streamline the process by sorting belongings into four categories: • Keep: Meaningful or practical items—avoid excess clutter. • Donate: Share useful items with those in need. • Sell: Use yard sales, online platforms, or professional liquidators. • Toss: Discard items without value and revisit unsure items later. • For the property, tasks like cleaning, decluttering, and small repairs are essential. • Professional staging can further enhance appeal, helping buyers envision the home’s potential.

Preserve Memories

Honor your loved one without keeping everything: • Memory Box: Store cherished items like photos or letters. • Repurpose: Transform belongings into meaningful keepsakes. • Digital Archive: Scan photos and documents for a lasting, space-saving collection. • Memory Wall: Display significant items or photos in your home.
