Real Estate Search and Sale, LLC works with homeowners, bankruptcy attorneys and trustees across Maryland, Washington DC, Virginia, West Virginia and Florida, from Baltimore and Bethesda to Washington DC and Fairfax.

How We Work With Your Attorney

  1. Starting with counsel. Your bankruptcy attorney guides whether and how the home can be sold. We follow their direction.
  2. Pricing and documentation. We provide comparable sales and listing documents for any motion to sell.
  3. Marketing the home. Traditional or private marketing, as your attorney and the trustee allow.
  4. Coordinating closing. We order payoffs and work with title, the trustee and lienholders so closing matches the court's order.

We Also Work With Trustees

Bankruptcy trustees can count on prompt valuations and written status updates.

We don't provide legal advice. Bankruptcy decisions should be made with a licensed bankruptcy attorney.
