Give your family time to make decisions
Start by talking through what each person wants to keep, who can provide access, and when the house might be ready for a visit. If family members are in different places, identify one point of contact for the first conversation.
Find out what has to happen before closing
Ask your estate representative or escrow contact who can sign and what documents will be needed. You can discuss the home and its condition while the people involved work out what steps are required before a sale.
Common question
Can I reach out while my family is still deciding?
Yes. An initial conversation can help you gather options to share with your family. Any sale depends on the right parties agreeing and being able to sign.
