Probate Real Estate in the West Metro — I Handle the Hard Parts
Most Agents Won’t Touch a Probate Property. I Specialize in Them.
When someone passes away, their home often comes with complications — deferred maintenance, a lifetime of belongings, sometimes damage or hoarding situations. Most real estate agents show up, take one look, and refer you somewhere else. I’ve been doing this for 30 years and I personally handle the situations others avoid.
I work directly with personal representatives, probate attorneys, and families across Plymouth, Minnetonka, Edina, Wayzata, Orono, Golden Valley, and the entire West Metro. My job is to make this as smooth and financially sound as possible — so you can close the estate and move forward.
What I Handle That Most Agents Won’t
Estate Cleanouts
I personally coordinate full estate cleanouts — including hoarding situations and decades of accumulated belongings. No judgment, just results.
Fixer-Uppers & Deferred Maintenance
I evaluate what’s worth fixing and what to sell as-is. I have trusted contractors and can get work done quickly when it adds value.
Court & Attorney Coordination
I work directly with probate attorneys and the court system to keep the real estate process moving without adding to your legal burden.
Pricing & Market Strategy
Probate properties require a different pricing strategy. I know this market and will get you the best possible outcome — not just a quick sale.
Multiple Heirs & Family Dynamics
I’ve navigated situations with disagreeing family members, out-of-state heirs, and complex family dynamics. I stay calm, professional, and focused on resolution.
West Metro Expertise
30 years of deep market knowledge across Plymouth, Minnetonka, Edina, Wayzata, Orono, Golden Valley, and the entire West Metro.

Questions Families Ask Me About Probate Properties
Do I need to clean out the house before selling?
Not necessarily. I can sell a property in as-is condition, and I regularly coordinate full cleanouts as part of my service. You don’t have to figure this out alone.
What if the house is in really bad shape?
I’ve sold homes in every condition imaginable — deferred maintenance, fire damage, hoarding situations, and everything in between. Bad condition doesn’t scare me off. I’ll give you an honest read on what it’s worth and what your options are.
How long does a probate sale take in Minnesota?
It depends on the complexity of the estate and whether the sale requires court approval. Simple probate sales can close in 60-90 days. More complex estates can take longer. I’ll walk you through the realistic timeline for your specific situation.
Can I sell a probate property before probate is complete?
In Minnesota, you can list the property during probate, but closing typically requires court authorization unless the estate is structured to allow independent administration. Your probate attorney and I work together to get the timing right.
