    SELLING INHERITED PROPERTY IN REDMOND

    Selling a home you've inherited is both a practical and a personal process. A clear plan, the right professionals, and a little patience go a long way.

    WHAT TO KNOW

    PROBATE & AUTHORITY TO SELL

    Before an inherited home can be sold, someone needs the legal authority to sell it, usually a personal representative appointed through probate or a trustee if the home is in a trust. Timelines vary with the estate, so involve an estate or probate attorney early.

    STEPPED-UP BASIS

    Inherited property generally receives a 'stepped-up' tax basis equal to its value at the owner's date of death, which can reduce capital gains if the home is sold. A CPA can confirm how it applies to your situation.

    CONDITION & REPAIRS

    Many inherited homes have deferred maintenance. A pre-inspection helps you decide whether to sell as-is or make targeted repairs first.

    MULTIPLE HEIRS

    When several family members inherit a home, agreeing on timing and price can take time. Clear, regular communication with everyone involved keeps things moving.

    CLEARING THE HOME

    Estate sale companies and haul-away services can help clear decades of belongings. Plan time and budget for this step.

    PRICING AN ESTATE HOME

    Pricing should reflect the home's condition, lot, and location. In some Redmond neighborhoods, the land itself may be a big part of the value.

    GIVE YOURSELF TIME

    Selling a family home is emotional. Move at a pace that works for your family.
