Resources for Difficult Property Decisions

Use these plain-language guides to understand your choices before deciding how—or whether—to sell.

Direct sale vs. traditional listing
Inherited and probate property
Foreclosure and missed payments
Divorce, relocation, tenants, and vacant homes
Preparing documents for a property review

Start with your objective

Decide what matters most: maximum possible price, speed, certainty, fewer repairs, fewer showings, or a flexible closing date.

Collect the facts

Gather ownership documents, loan information, tax or lien notices, leases, repair estimates, insurance claims, and any probate or court papers.

Compare written options

Ask questions, verify who is responsible for costs, and have legal or tax professionals review documents when appropriate.

Your next step

Turn the question into a clear record.

Use one form so the property, location, contact information, and reason for reaching out stay together.
