Selling because of probate sale
A probate sale runs on the court's schedule, not yours. Before the estate can sell, someone has to be appointed with authority over the property, and in many cases the sale has to be approved. That process takes time and paperwork, and it scares off buyers who need a fast close. Covent is comfortable waiting for it and can hold an offer while authority is established.
Probate is the court-supervised process of settling an estate. Until an executor or administrator is appointed and given power to sell, no one can convey clear title, which is why so many inherited houses sit vacant for months. The property usually keeps costing money the whole time: taxes, insurance, utilities, and lawn care.
Yes. We can price the property and put terms in writing while the estate is being opened, then close once the court authorizes the sale. That way the estate is not waiting on a buyer once authority arrives.
No. Evaluation and an offer are free and carry no obligation. If the estate decides to list instead, that is fine.
