How long does it take to sell a probate home in Florida?
The answer is....it depends!
There are two main types of probate in Florida: a formal probate administration and a summary probate administration.
The formal probate administration usually takes 6-9 months, and a summary probate (for estates worth less than $75,000) can take less than a month.
Homes can listed at at any point in the process, once a personal representative has been assigned. However if the probate process has not yet been completed, the court must approve the sale of the real estate.

When to List!
A traditional real estate sale will usually close within 30-45 days of securing a buyer. If probate is simple, or close to completion, a sale of probate real estate shouldn't take much longer. If the probate is complicated or contested, it could take many months to close. An experienced local Probate Realtor can guide you as the best time to list, depending on your specific circumstances.
