Experienced Guidance When an Estate Includes Real Property

Managing the sale of a home after the death of a loved one is very different from a traditional real estate transaction. With more than 25 years of real estate experience, Andrea Szlavik Rothsching and her team provide knowledgeable, compassionate and practical guidance to executors, administrators, heirs, families and the attorneys who represent them.

The Andrea Szlavik Team understands that families navigating an estate need more than someone to simply put a property on the market.

They need an experienced real estate professional who can help organize the real estate. Our goal is simple: protect the value of the estate, reduce the burden on the family, and make the real estate portion of the process as manageable as possible.

More Than Just Selling the House

Estate properties often require decisions long before a “For Sale” sign goes in the yard.

Should the house be sold as-is or would selective improvements produce a meaningful return?

What should be done with furniture and personal property?

Does the home need to be cleaned out?

Who can handle repairs, landscaping or maintenance if family members live out of state?

What is the property actually worth in its current condition?

We help answer those questions and create a practical plan based upon the property, the estate's goals, the local market and the family's circumstances.

Selling an Estate Property As-Is

Not every estate should invest money or months of work preparing a house for sale.

In many situations, an as-is sale may be the most practical choice.

We can evaluate the likely market value of the home in its current condition and compare it with the potential value after repairs or improvements. This allows the estate to make an informed decision rather than spending money simply because someone says the house “needs updating.”

When an as-is sale makes sense, we still believe the property deserves professional marketing and broad market exposure.

As-is should describe the condition of the property, not the quality of its marketing.

When Family Members Live Out of the Area

Settling an estate from another state can make an already complicated process much more difficult.

Our team can serve as your local real estate resource, helping coordinate access to the property, meeting vendors when appropriate, monitoring the home, communicating with your attorney and settlement professionals, and keeping family members informed throughout the transaction.

You should not have to travel to Pennsylvania every time something needs to happen at the property.

Experience Matters With Estate Real Estate

An estate transaction can involve circumstances that simply don't exist in an ordinary home sale.

Multiple decision-makers. Deferred maintenance. Vacant homes. Emotional attachments. Family members in different states. Personal property. Tight timelines. Unusual title issues. Investors making aggressive offers before a family fully understands the property's value.

Having an experienced real estate professional involved early can help the estate make decisions based upon information rather than pressure.
