Hi Clive, It depends on how the contract was written. Also, keep in mind if the deals dies you will have to start all over and reveal those items up front. Get them fixed and move on. Hope that helps Karen

Hi Jack, Port St. Lucie is a hot market at the moment, so you want to be able to get the biggest bang for the buck. There are several routes you can take. 1. Get a CMA from a local agent. 2. Get a professional Appraisal and then hire a professional agent. Personally, I would go with # 1 and add a pre-home inspection so that when you do list there are no surprises. Also, it gives you a chance to fix things which in turn will get more money on the sale. Be careful of the companies that offer to buy your home, in the end you will pay out more and leave more money on the table than you should. Feel free to reach out 352-250-3166 if I can be of any assistance.

So if you have gone through probate and you are now listed on the deed that part should be good. Have you contacted the lender? several things can happen. 1. They can call the loan in full since you are not on the loan. 2. Keep paying the loan the taxes and insurance while you try to sell the home. 3. The lease, when does the lease expire? You might want to have an RE attorney review it for you. If the lease is set to expire, you must send them notice of non-renewal depending on what the lease states. If it is silent to that, then 30 days. If they are on a month to month lease and the lease does not state how long, then 15 days notice is required by either party. If you you can work with them while you are trying to sell, it might be easier overall. What ever you do make sure your attorney agrees, or it can be a nightmare.

Anybody can order an appraisal. If you are looking for an appraisal for personal use like for legal reasons, court ordered, divorce, equity split, arms length sale, etc. Make sure all parties agree on the appraiser and best of luck.
