Losing a loved one is emotionally draining. Adding the strain of dealing with the probate process in the midst of your grief makes it even more challenging. People who need to sell a house in probate often do not know where to start.
There is the option of listing the property on the market through a real estate agent, but with so many hoops to jump through, it’s highly inconvenient for a property already in probate court.
This was the challenge facing Shirley Ellis and her family after their mother passed.
In this case study, My Tennessee Home Solution looks at how our team helped the family navigate this problem, making the sale process hassle-free. We buy houses in Old Hickory, TN, so if you’re ready to get a great offer, call now.

The Problem
After Shirley’s mother passed, she gave 50% of her home to Shirley, with the remaining 50% divided between four of her deceased brother’s children. The peculiarity of the situation led to the house going into probate. Shirley had to spend over a year trying to sell the home while also mourning the loss of her mother.
How My Tennessee Home Solution Helped Shirley Ellis Sell a House in Probate
Shirley Ellis understood that selling the home for cash was one of the most convenient ways to sell a house in probate. Therefore, the family started shopping for the best and most hassle-free offer from cash homebuyers. They met our team and received a fair offer for their property.
However, they were excited to receive a larger offer from a competitor on their home. Unfortunately, they had to add the awful disappointment of being the victim of a “bait and switch” to their grief. The company drastically reduced the amount of their offer after appraisal.
When Shirley returned to our team explaining her ordeal, it did not change our position on buying the home or our original offer. We gave her our word and we always follow through on our commitment. So, we welcomed her with open arms and resumed the process of completing the sale.
My Tennessee Home Solution helped the Ellis family avoid taking a huge loss on the property. We also helped get them through the sale process quickly by guiding them to the finish line.
