How We Helped Peggy Sell Her Inherited West Bloomfield, Michigan House As-Is, After a Long Probate Process
Over a year dealing with Wayne County probate, grief, and a house full of belongings. Here’s how Great Lakes House Buyer took the weight off Peggy’s shoulders and got it sold.
Selling an Inherited House After a Long Probate Process
A year of probate on top of losing a loved one is exhausting before you even think about the house itself. Peggy’s story shows what it looks like to sell an inherited house as-is in Michigan once the legal side finally clears, without adding more stress on top.
How Peggy Sold Her Inherited West Bloomfield Home
Peggy reached out to Great Lakes House Buyer after dealing with an inherited property for over a year. She’d been working through a long probate process with Wayne County, all while caring for extended family and grieving a loved one. Once she received the letters of authority naming her personal representative for the estate, she found Great Lakes House Buyer online. Within a few minutes, she and Alex were on the phone getting to know each other and talking through her options.
I listened to Peggy, empathized with what she was carrying, and figured out how to take the stress and hassle of the house off her shoulders and onto mine. She told me the house needed work, still had a lot of items left inside, and she didn’t want to deal with any of it. She told me the price she needed, and I went to work making that happen.
This property was on the east side of West Michigan, away from where Alex lives, but even so, within 48 hours I had three of my best buyer connections out to the house. We found one who could pay cash at a price that worked for Peggy and buy it completely as-is. We sent the paperwork to the title company, and within a few weeks we sent a notary out to Peggy to get the transaction done. She gathered a few personal belongings with her family and left the rest behind for the buyer to deal with.
