Inherited a house in Jacksonville or Duval County?

Inheriting a house often comes with questions nobody prepared you for. Who has the right to sell it? What about the mortgage, the taxes, the utilities or the belongings still inside? Is the family in agreement? Renovate & Elevate Property Solutions LLC works with families in Jacksonville and across Duval County who want a respectful, low-stress way to sell an inherited property.

Start with the right advice

Many inherited houses go through probate, the court process that settles a person's estate, before they can be sold. The rules depend on the situation, so we always suggest talking with a Florida probate attorney before you make decisions. If you don't have one, The Florida Bar Lawyer Referral Service can help you find one. We're not attorneys and can't give legal advice, but we're glad to work alongside your attorney or the estate's personal representative.

Common situations we hear about

• The house is full of belongings and nobody lives nearby to clear it out.
• It needs repairs or updates the family doesn't want to pay for.
• Several relatives share the inheritance and want a clear, simple path.
• There's a mortgage, back taxes or unpaid bills to sort out.
• The house is sitting empty and the costs keep adding up.

How we may be able to help

Depending on the property and the estate, we may be able to buy the house directly and in its current condition, so the family doesn't have to make repairs, schedule showings or wait on a buyer's loan. When the time is right, we'll walk through any offer with you, and your attorney, clearly and in writing.

Selling directly isn't the only option. You could also list with a licensed real estate agent, rent the house out or keep it in the family. We'll be honest about whether working with us makes sense for you.

Take it one step at a time

There's no rush to decide anything today. Tell us a little about the house and where things stand, and we'll reach out to talk, with no pressure and no obligation.
