Sell an inherited house without the stress.

The typical path is: (1) confirm ownership through probate (or a small-estate procedure if it qualifies), (2) get a professional valuation and pre-listing consultation, (3) address any liens, taxes, or reverse-mortgage payoffs, (4) list the property or accept a cash offer, (5) close and disburse proceeds among heirs. DomoNova handles each step with a licensed Florida REALTOR® and coordinates with your probate attorney.

Florida has no state estate or inheritance tax. Federally, inherited property receives a stepped-up cost basis to fair market value at the date of death — so capital gains are usually calculated only on the appreciation between the date of death and the date of sale. Many heirs owe little or no capital gains tax. Always confirm with a CPA.

All heirs listed on title must agree to sell, or the personal representative must have court authority to sell during probate. We help align the family with one point of contact, transparent numbers, and a written net-sheet so every heir sees the same information at the same time.

Formal administration typically takes 6-12 months. Summary administration (for smaller estates or deaths more than 2 years old) can close in 30-90 days. We can often list and market the home during probate to save months once the court authorizes sale.

In many cases yes — the personal representative may petition the court for authority to sell before probate closes. We coordinate with your attorney to time the listing so proceeds are ready when the estate is ready to distribute.

These are paid from the sale proceeds at closing. Reverse mortgages usually require payoff within 6 months of the borrower's death — acting early avoids foreclosure. We pull a preliminary title report up front so there are no surprises.

Usually not. For most inherited homes in Florida, a light clean-out plus strategic cosmetic touch-ups gives the best return. We give you a complementary walkthrough with a specific list of what pays off and what doesn't — never spend a dollar you don't need to.

Nothing upfront. The initial consultation, valuation, and probate coordination are complementary. Our fee is only paid at closing out of the sale proceeds — standard REALTOR® commission negotiated in advance and disclosed on the net-sheet.
