Here are some helpful pointers for family who take on the responsibility of selling an inherited property. Make a list of the necessary repairs to get the house ready to sell. Hire an attorney to find out where you stand legally. Work with a real estate agent to advise on the value of the property. Remove clutter and excess furniture before listing the house, but you don’t have to move out everything. Clean the home for the best presentation. Arrange to have the yard mowed and trimmed regularly, and the snow shoveled in the winter.
