Preparing the Home for Sale or Transfer

Once the decision is made, the next step is preparation.

Step 1: Verify Title

Ensure the home’s title reflects the estate or heirs correctly. Contact the title company early — delays here can stall everything.  This is something a realtor can assist with.

Step 2: Secure and Clean

Keep utilities on, maintain the lawn, and protect the home from vandalism. Small actions preserve value.

Step 3: Review Liens or HOA Balances

Heirs are often surprised by unpaid HOA fees or property taxes. Addressing these early avoids surprises at closing.  These items can be negotiated by an experienced realtor.
