Frequently Asked Questions

Can you work with us before the estate is fully open?
Yes. We can prepare a market analysis and plan the cleanout while the attorney handles the court steps. The property is listed only when the personal representative has authority to sell.

Do you provide updates for our file?
Yes. We send written status updates at each stage of the sale.

Can heirs who live out of state stay involved?
Yes. Heirs can follow along by email, photo and video, and sign remotely if their signatures are needed.

Do you give legal or tax advice?
No. Questions about the estate, court approvals or taxes go to the estate attorney or a tax professional.

Can I get references?
Yes. We provide a list of client and professional references on request.

Wire fraud alert

Criminals target real estate transactions with emails and texts that appear to come from agents, title companies and lenders. Real Estate Search and Sale, LLC never sends wiring instructions by email or text. Before you wire any money, call your title company or settlement attorney at a phone number you have verified independently, never one taken from an email or text, to confirm the instructions. If you suspect fraud, contact your bank and the title company right away.

Help Locating Independent Service Providers

Need help finding cleanout and junk removal crews, estate-sale companies, contractors, painters, cleaners, stagers, landscapers, locksmiths, movers, storage, professional organizers, title companies and mobile notaries? We can provide contact information for independent service providers, and you are free to use any provider you like. Providers should be properly licensed and insured. When you schedule your providers, we help plan the logistics around showings, access and settlement.

Real Estate Search and Sale, LLC does not endorse, guarantee or receive compensation from any service provider. Please interview and verify any provider you choose.

Heirs and Fiduciaries Who Live Far Away

Many of the fiduciaries and heirs we work with live out of state or overseas. We handle the property locally and coordinate remote closings, so the sale can move forward without repeated trips.

References Available on Request

We will gladly provide a list of client and professional references on request.
