Seattle Probate Agent

Brent Fosso

Specialist with probate estate homes and condos for heirs, trusts, and designated representatives. Brent has been involved in countless Seattle probate/estate home sale transactions over the years.
   
With homes that have been inherited through an estate or trust, there are many issues to consider, and every situation is unique. Wills, trusts, probate, attorneys, personal representatives, and all the details that need to be tended to.

Of course, the sale of a loved one's home can be very emotional. Brent knows this from his own personal experience when his parents passed away.

For The Heirs

Get the Most Money for the Estate

As your probate realtor, Brent will obtain the highest price possible for the home. This is his primary goal. He will put together a detailed market analysis for you (the representative and/or executor), which will explain what the highest price is that you can expect in today's market. For this service, there is no cost to you or to the estate, and there is no obligation.

This market analysis will state what you should be able to receive for the home by selling it in "as-is" condition. This market analysis will also state a higher price that may be attainable if you choose to "spruce it up" a bit.

Paperwork

Estate Home Legal Matters

There are often associated matters to take care of, if you haven't done so already, such as probate issues with trusts, wills, and attorneys, to name just a few. Brent can help you with this if you wish.

And Brent will be glad to help by recommending a few excellent attorneys for estate, probate, will, family, and trusts. This can be helpful to determine whether you still need to address any remaining issues, or if everything is currently ready for the sale process to begin.

Preparation

Preparing the Estate Home for Sale

Getting the home ready for sale can seem daunting, depending on whether the home has been kept in good shape, and if there is furniture and other personal items to sell, donate, and such.

Perhaps it could use some cleaning and/or repair. Brent often recommends some excellent local companies to help get this done. This includes expert cleaning crews, movers, junk removers, landscapers, and more.
  
As mentioned above, Brent will offer suggestions on how to best "make it shine" for very little cost. Or you can choose to do nothing if you wish, and just sell it "as-is". It is completely up to you.

Marketing An Estate Home

Staging & Photography Included

Even if the estate home is a bit of a fixer-upper, and if things haven't been tended to for a while, it is vital that a home's presentation be the best possible.

Buyers get their first impressions online. So having great photos and staging is vitally important, and can lead to obtaining a substantially higher price. 

Brent includes Free Staging and Professional Photography on all his listings. This is at no cost to you, and is an amazing value and benefit.

The Beginning

Walk-Through

After an initial phone conversation, Brent will walk through your home with you, and potentially offer suggestions on small fix-up ideas to attract the greatest number of buyers.

Brent has up-to-date knowledge on what today's buyers value most, and what they are looking for in a home.

Often, Brent finds that small improvements can yield big returns. And getting the most money for the heirs of the estate is of primary importance, so this is what is focussed on from day one.

Probate Stories

Reviews From Heirs

"We were very fortunate to have found Brent and Ann to help us sell our mother’s house recently. As an experienced realtor, well acquainted with the West Seattle real estate market, Brent guided us through the process of preparing the home for sale in a thoroughly professional manner. We especially appreciated Brent’s patience during the time we took to clean out a house that our parents lived in for thirty years. Brent was always available to answer our questions, but more importantly, he knew what repairs were needed, and then found available skilled workers to do the work necessary to put the house in fine condition making it“move in ready”. Landscapers, directed by Brent, did a great job with the outdoor spaces, even enhancing the sound and mountain view. Needless to say, when the home came on the market, it had great eye appeal both inside and outside. Ann’s fine staging was frosting on the cake. "

"From my first meeting with him and then through the sale and closing process, Brent demonstrated consummate professionalism in the sale of my mother's West Seattle condominium. Brent showed up for our initial meeting thoroughly prepared. He presented thoughtful ideas and rationale to prepare the unit for listing and was refreshingly patient with us as we did our best to enhance the property. On his own initiative, Brent staged the condo tastefully and then as promised produced stunning professional photos to ensure a great online marketing package. Bottom line: we received a superb offer during the first weekend open house, just a few days after listing the property. Reinforcing his job representing us, he successfully negotiated a couple of closing-related issues and kept us informed through the process. Brent knows real estate and is an expert on West Seattle properties! We are so grateful for his help."

"... My Dad is very ill and had to be placed in full time care and we needed the house to sell in order to afford all the expenses. So this was a very difficult situation as I had to make all discussions and work with crew to get the house ready. Brent was right there and he knows real estate and what sells a home like nobody I have ever talked to before. Brent took his time and meant with me several times and told me exactly what I had to do to sell Dads home quickly and the things that attract a buyer and sells a home quickly. Each time Brent came over I followed his instructions and completed them as I knew Brent was advising me exactly the road to follow that was needed. Brent was so nice and very caring the entire time. I wish I had more homes and Brent to work with me from the results. After Brent got the staging done which made the house look like a magazine home, it went on the market on Friday. Sunday Brent held an open house. Monday we had two offers one for full asking price and yesterday July 12th Escrow closed and all is done. I was amazed, the house was not listed until the second week of June, sold in two days and is finished. What better and more caring realtor can you find over Brent Fosso, I will tell you none...he's the best. Now I have the piece of mind knowing my Dad can be taken care of for years and my travels were from Spokane in getting the house done and been taking care of Dads needs since January, now I have piece and Brent - I thank you."

"Brent is a consummate professional. He listened and understood the circumstances for us selling the property. He then laid out a game plan for marketing, pricing, and selling the home. He executed the plan to perfection, and the house basically sold in one day at the asking price. He did this with his extensive experience in the West Seattle market, and with a keen eye on staging and professional photography. The house showed spectacularly well. Brent is easily accessible and so easy to work with. He kept us in the loop every step of the way until closing. I cannot thank him or recommend him enough for selling our property in such a timely and professional manner."
