How It Works: A Calm, Structured 3-Step Probate Sale Process

Probate Home Evaluation & Coordination

We begin with a comprehensive evaluation of the property and its unique circumstances—including condition, legal requirements, access, and timelines. This stage often involves coordinating with attorneys, executors, trustees, and out-of-state heirs to ensure everyone is informed and aligned. We also identify any repairs, safety needs, or preparation opportunities using our vetted vendor network of estate-sale teams, cleaners, contractors, locksmiths, and specialists, as outlined in our listing and probate resources.

Our goal: bring clarity, create a plan, and take the early weight off your shoulders.

Home Preparation & On-Site Management

Once the plan is approved, we manage the preparation process end-to-end. This may include cleaning, junk removal, minor repairs, donation pickup, estate sales, staging options, and a buyer-focused presentation strategy—the exact same high-standard approach we use for every listing. Our team oversees photography, lockbox installation, access coordination, and all pre-MLS readiness so the home presents beautifully and honors the loved one’s legacy. You do not need to be present—our team coordinates everything and keeps all decision-makers informed.

List on the Market & Manage the Entire Sale

With the home fully prepared, we launch it on the market using a strategic timeline, professional photography, targeted agent outreach, and proactive communication systems. You’ll receive showing updates, feedback summaries, offer guidance, negotiation support, and full transaction management—all handled by our experienced operations team. Our process mirrors the steps outlined in our proven home-sale timeline: listing activation, showings, feedback, contract negotiation, inspection, appraisal, and closing. We handle the details, deadlines, and documentation so you can focus on what matters most.

Guidance for Executors, Trustees & Personal Representatives

Serving as an executor or trustee comes with weighty decisions—many of which involve real estate. Our team provides professional, direct, and empathetic guidance to help you understand timelines, disclosures, liabilities, and options. We also help facilitate difficult conversations among heirs when needed, ensuring everyone stays informed and aligned. This support is explicitly outlined in our probate program, which emphasizes proactive communication and advisory-level service.  

Strategic Pricing, Marketing & Investor Options 

Every estate has different priorities: some need to maximize value; others need faster liquidity. We present both paths clearly. For accelerated timelines, we have qualified investors who can make offers within 72 hours; for maximizing value, we prepare the property for market with professional photography, staging plans, targeted marketing, and data-driven pricing recommendations. Both approaches are part of our proven probate process.

See What Others Say About Working With Us

I was helping my sister and her husband coordinate a move to Fort Worth, and Yemi Asekun with the Kimberly Davis group was referred to us by the selling agent where they currently live. My sister and her husband aren’t on social media, but asked me to speak on their behalf because they were so grateful to work with Yemi on finding and negotiating all the details of their new residence. Yemi was so friendly, thorough, listened to their needs and concerns, curated a selection of places they could visit in one day, and has stayed in close contact as they get closer to their moving date. They highly recommend Yemi Asekun as an agent who will have your best interests in mind.

As first-time homebuyers, we were nervous about navigating the process—but this team made everything feel effortless. They are incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and thorough in every step of the way. Her honesty and easygoing nature made it feel like we were working with a trusted friend. She helped us find our dream home—a charming fixer-upper that checked every single box on our wish list. Thanks to her skills and insight, we were blown away by the amazing deal we got. She also connected us with a fantastic broker, which made the financing process seamless. We highly recommend the entire Kimberly Davis Group to anyone looking to buy or sell. With her on your side, you're in excellent hands!

Emma & Landry

“We were absolutely blind about the state. We didn’t know anything about the neighborhoods, schools, builders, or what we should even be looking for. She made us think about what was truly important and guided us without overwhelming us. The pace, the patience, and the way she explained everything made us feel understood and safe. We saw 14 homes in two days and she made every showing warm, detailed, and structured. Even our children enjoyed the process—she made them feel involved. We finished our first call knowing: This is the person who understands what we need and will guide us through this move.”
