Are you in a position where you need to sell your home quickly? Maybe your life is on the verge of a big change such as a new job, divorce, or illness. Today I’ll share some tips that will help you make that happen.

1. Lower the price. Be careful here; don’t leave too much money on the table instead of in your pocket. Price reductions need to be evaluated carefully by looking at the market and establishing value 1% to 2% below your home’s market value. This will let buyers know that you have a property with value worth seeing, attracting more activity often with higher results than expected.

It only takes one interested person to be able to sell your home, so you don’t want to exempt anyone from seeing it—even if it’s inconvenient to you.

2. Declutter. Get rid of all the excess stuff that tends to build up in your home over time. On the other hand, if your house is empty, you’ll need staging to bring out a warm, welcoming feel in your home.

3. Be flexible with showings. It only takes one interested person to be able to sell your home, so you don’t want to exempt anyone from seeing it—even if it’s inconvenient to you.

4. Offer an incentive. For example, offering a certain dollar amount towards the buyer’s closing costs with a full price offer could help make your listing more attractive to buyers. Offering something else of value, like a vacation timeshare, might also do the trick.

What’s the right way to handle an inherited property—renovate, list, or sell it as-is? I am Charlotte Volsch, an Estate Property Advisor and Probate & Trust Real Estate Specialist helping attorneys, executors, and families make clear, confident decisions when selling inherited homes. I help attorneys, executors, and families navigate inherited property decisions throughout the Inland Empire and High Desert of Southern California, including Apple Valley, Victorville, Hesperia, Rancho Cucamonga, Redlands, Loma Linda, Fontana, and surrounding communities. Over the course of my career, I have completed 774+ real estate transactions across 24 years, including more than 230 probate and trust property sales. For the past 16+ years, I have focused specifically on estate property situations, working alongside probate and trust attorneys, fiduciaries, and their clients to guide each case from evaluation through sale. Many families are unsure what to do with an inherited home—whether to invest in repairs, list it traditionally, or sell it as-is. Without a clear strategy, estates can make costly mistakes such as over-improving a property, underpricing it, selecting the wrong sale method, or facing delays that impact timelines and estate objectives. I help evaluate those decisions early, so attorneys and their clients can move forward with clarity, avoid unnecessary risk, and choose the most appropriate path based on the property and the situation. I work directly with attorneys and their clients to determine the best path forward, whether that involves preparing a property for the retail market or facilitating a direct sale through a network of qualified investors. For properties that require repairs, may not qualify for traditional financing, or are best suited for as-is sale, I provide access to a network of more than 50 active real estate investors. Over the past 12 months, I have closed 68 transactions, reflecting consistent production and experience navigating changing market conditions. I guide each case using the C.A.L.M. Method: C — Clarify We identify what matters now versus what can wait. A — Align We define priorities—legal, financial, and personal. L — Lead I guide each step in the proper order to avoid delays and unnecessary complications. M — Move Forward Clients proceed with clarity and confidence. I am the Broker Owner of The Volsch Team at Volsch Enterprises, Inc., and hold certifications in Probate Real Estate through the National Association of Realtors (NAR) as well as Certified Probate Real Estate Advisor (Probate Biz). If you are an attorney handling probate or trust matters—or assisting a client with an inherited property—I’m available as a resource to help evaluate the best path forward.
