Sell Your Probate House in Tampa Bay in Just 21 Days

You can sell your probate house in as little as three weeks. Yes, 21 days. Not six months, not two years, but in as little as 3–4 weeks. I’m going to share our secret on how we get probates completed more efficiently than anyone else in Tampa Bay.

Hi, I’m Alex Jandick, President of 131 Realty Corp. I create informative real estate content to help sellers navigate the probate process.

At the time of this writing, we have completed 119 property closings, with roughly 45 involving probate.

Sellers often approach us seeking a second or third opinion on their inherited property—either before starting probate or during the process. A common concern we hear is: “My attorney told me this will take a year.” I’m here to let you know that it doesn’t have to be that way.

A Real-Life Example of Selling a Probate House

Let’s look at a real-life example. Larry, a homeowner, passed away, leaving his son Mike in Illinois as the sole heir. Larry’s estate, consisting of a house valued at $280,000 and a bank account with $60,000, was eligible for Florida’s “summary administration” probate process.

Thanks to Florida’s homestead laws and our streamlined approach, the probate process was completed in just three weeks. Mike was able to sell his father’s home and receive the proceeds without ever leaving Illinois.

Here’s how it worked:

1. February 2nd: We signed a purchase agreement for Larry’s home, pending probate.
2. February 3rd–5th: Our trusted probate attorney filed the necessary documents. Mike electronically signed all paperwork and provided a death certificate.
3. February 7th–14th: The attorney submitted all probate documents for judicial review.
4. February 21st: The judge approved the homestead order, transferring the title to Mike.
5. February 28th: Closing was completed, and Mike received the proceeds in his bank account by 4 PM.
