Selling an Inherited Home in Alberta, Handled Properly.
I help Alberta families sell a home they inherited, one clear step at a time.
Get a callback
I'll call you within the hour during business hours. No pressure.
Three simple steps
Tell me about the home
We start with a short talk. You tell me about the home and where things stand. I answer your questions in plain words. There is no cost and no pressure to list. If you are still sorting out the estate, that is fine. We can move when you are ready.
Get the home ready your way
Some inherited homes need cleaning or small repairs. Some are ready to go. I give you honest advice on what helps and what does not. You choose what to do. I can connect you with trades and other pros if you want them.
List and sell with a clear plan
When you are ready, I price the home using real market data and put it in front of buyers. You see every offer. I explain each one in plain words so you can decide with a clear head. My fee is set in a written agreement before we list.
Estate and probate steps
When someone passes away owning a home, the home usually can't be sold until the estate is dealt with. In Alberta this often means applying for a grant of probate through the surrogate matters of the Court of King's Bench of Alberta. Probate is the court confirming that the will is valid and that the personal representative (often called the executor) has authority to act. If there is no will, someone applies to become the administrator instead. Whether probate is needed depends on how the home was owned and other facts. This is general information, not legal advice. I am a REALTOR®, not a lawyer, so please confirm your situation with an Alberta estate lawyer.
Tax on an inherited home
An inherited home can have tax effects. In Canada an estate may face a deemed disposition, and capital gains tax can apply depending on whether the home was the deceased's principal residence and what happens between the date of death and the sale. The rules are detailed and depend on your situation. I am a REALTOR®, not a tax advisor, so I will not give you tax figures. Please speak with a CPA who knows Alberta estate tax about capital gains and any tax on the sale. This is general information, not tax advice.
Mortgage or money on the estate
If there is still a mortgage or a line of credit secured against the estate home, it usually has to be dealt with as part of settling the estate. What is possible depends on the lender, the estate, and the will. I am a REALTOR® and I do not give mortgage or financial advice. For money questions, please speak with the lender, a licensed mortgage broker, or a financial advisor. This is general information, not financial advice.
My fee and any rebate
My fee is always negotiable. There is no standard rate in Alberta. We agree on the fee and put it in a written agreement before your home goes on the market. If a rebate applies to your situation, I put that in writing too.
- Fee: fixed or negotiable, whichever works for you, and set out in a written agreement
- Rebate, if it applies: provided upon discussion, on a case-by-case basis
- Pros I can refer you to
I cannot promise a sale price or a set amount of money. Every home and market is different. I can promise clear advice and honest numbers.
