In California, if there has been a death on a property that fact needs to be disclosed to prospective buyers in writing for three years after the death. After three years if a prospective buyer asks the agent and seller need to answer honestly.

san jose probate sale: Never a Dull Moment In A San Jose Probate Sale - 08/15/13 02:57 AM

As a San Jose Probate Real Estate Agent I have seen many things happens in transactions, but this one was a first for me.
I listed a cute home in Alum Rock for a family whose parents had both recently passed. The parents left a will but they did not have a trust. Since the estate was not in a trust the assets of the estate need to go through Probate before they can be distributed to the children of the couple who passed.
One child was named Personal Representative of the estate. That is, since the parents are not … (0 comments)

san jose probate sale: A San Jose Probate Sale Does Not Have To Look Like Someone Died There - 06/12/13 04:33 AM

It is a fact of life that no one gets out of this life alive. It is also a fact of real estate that people who own homes die and very often those homes have to be sold. As a San Jose Probate real estate agent I deal with this situation all the time.

san jose probate sale: Why Do I Have to Wait So Long To Make An Offer on a San Jose Probate? - 05/27/13 02:19 AM
 

The San Jose real estate market is hot. Homes go on the market and are sold a few days later, usually with multiple offers. They will often be open over a week-end and then offers will be presented on the following Tuesday or Wednesday. But if the home is a San Jose probate sale, it often takes longer. Why is that?
The answer is not always the same, and some San Jose probate sales will sell quickly, but most go through a process that is longer than the typical traditional resale. The main reason is that the Personal Representative … (2 comments)

san jose probate sale: Thought I Was Out of a San Jose Probate but I Was Pulled Back In - 01/21/13 11:11 PM
As a  San Jose Probate real estate agent I am always amazed at how new issues always come up. I thought I was finished, but someone else did not. (Remember the line from The Godfather which was repeated in Sopranos) My San Jose Probate sale did not want to end.

Here is the back story. The owner of this San Jose probate sale died last June, leaving no cash in her estate, but a home with some equity. She did have a loan with Wells Fargo. I was hired by the Personal Administrator of this  San Jose Probate to sell the home. The week the home … (0 comments)

There is nothing I enjoy more than helping a family sell a San Jose home left to heirs through probate. I know, it doesn’t take much to make me happy, but I am who I am. Over the years I have developed a system to sell San Jose homes in probate and it works really well!
 
 1. Look at a home and see if there are valuables that are worth selling in the San Jose home in probate. Many homes are left with enormous amounts of personal property, sometimes with value and sometimes not. For example crappy cars have value, but beautiful over stuffed … (1 comments)
