Preface When I first stepped into the world of real estate, I didn’t just want to sell houses—I wanted to serve people. Over the years, that calling has become even more focused: I now work primarily with families navigating the unique responsibilities that come with managing an estate and preparing an inherited home for sale. It’s often an emotional, overwhelming process—especially if you’re serving as the personal representative or executor of a loved one’s estate. This role isn’t one you asked for, and chances are, you weren’t fully prepared for all the tasks and decisions that come with it. You’re not just managing paperwork—you’re managing memories, responsibilities, family dynamics, and deadlines.
That’s where I come in.
My goal in co-writing this book is to be your guide, your sounding board, and your project manager throughout the home-selling process. I’ve helped many estate representatives like you handle everything from clearing out personal belongings and coordinating donations, to managing contractors, staging the home, and ultimately marketing and selling it for the best possible price. I bring not just market knowledge, but compassion and practical help—because this is about so much more than just a transaction. Inside this guide, you’ll find honest, step-by-step advice and proven strategies to help you: • Prepare the property for sale with efficiency and respect • Avoid costly mistakes that delay the process or reduce your net proceeds • Understand what today’s buyers are looking for
