Selling an inherited home can be rife with emotional hazards, no matter where that house is; Stripping a home of its personal effects can feel akin to erasing the memory of the person or people who lived there. Maybe it was your childhood home or your parents’ retirement retreat. Occasionally, emotions lead to anger. Siblings may argue about the best way to manage the sale of this house or maybe the house is not exactly a gem, and there is a feeling of resentment at being tasked with the burden of selling it. Regardless, most inheritors are left emotionally vulnerable when faced with this task.
In addition to the emotional aspect of selling an inherited home in Calgary, there is the business side of the process. Marketing, home repairs, negotiations, clearing up any liens, and navigating the probate process can make even the most level-headed person’s blood pressure rise. Here at MyHomeOptions, we have seen it all, and we have developed our own protocol for helping people through the procedure.

Sometimes our clients initially think they want to keep that inherited property. But if that home brings an existing mortgage with it, there are stipulations attached. Another unwelcome inheritance, along with a home, maybe back property taxes or liens against the property.

We can offer Calgary inheritors cash sale options in lieu of simply turning that inheritance back over to the lender. Instead of maintaining the cost of the home as it winds its way through a tedious probate process, we can help inheritors bypass those costs. Homeowner fees, insurance, and maintenance costs quickly add up, and probate can take more than six months. And once the probate process has finally been achieved, the home must still either be lived in or sold, if a mortgage is being assumed.
If the house does not have a mortgage attached, it must still be maintained. Maybe it is being occupied by renters. Now the inheritor must decide if they want to become a landlord or go through the process of removing the renters. Deciding to list that home also means months of carrying the costs as the house is on the market. It’s no wonder some inheritors decide to just walk away from the house. In the midst of working through their grief at the loss of the loved one who willed that property to them, inheritors can be overwhelmed at the thought of navigating all the responsibilities attached.
