Usually within 48 hours. No cost, no obligation. This is a broker's opinion of value, not an appraisal.

How it works

Three simple steps.

01

Tell me about the property

Two minutes on the form, or a quick call or text.

02

Get your opinion of value

Recent sales nearby and an honest value range, usually within 48 hours.

03

Decide on your timeline

Keep, rent, sell or do nothing for now. Your call, no pressure.

Inherited a commercial or rental property?

Your options.

Keep it

Keep the income for the family.

It's a business: tenants, leases, repairs and management. Decide who runs it.

Hire a manager

Keep it, and let a property manager handle the tenants.

Keeps the income with less work, for a fee of part of the rent.

Sell it

Sell to an investor, a business owner or a developer.

Value depends on the income, the leases and the location.

Trade it (1031 exchange)

Sell and buy another investment property, deferring tax on the gain.

Strict deadlines apply. Talk to a CPA or exchange company before selling.

Family buyout

One family member buys out the others.

A fair, documented value makes the conversation easier.

First steps

Whatever you decide.

Gather the leases

Find every lease, deposit and rent record.

Tell the tenants where to pay

Rent should keep coming in to the estate or the new owners.

Check the insurance

Make sure the building and liability coverage stay active.

Keep the books

Track rent, expenses and repairs. Buyers and CPAs will ask for them.

Watch the tax bill

County tax bills come due each January. Make sure someone receives it.

Common questions

Straight answers.

Do the tenants stay if we sell?

Usually, yes. Existing leases normally transfer to the new owner, which many investors want.

How is a commercial or rental property valued?

Mostly on the income it brings in, compared with recent sales of similar properties.

What is a 1031 exchange?

A way to sell an investment property and buy another while deferring tax on the gain. Inherited property often has a stepped-up tax basis, so ask a CPA whether you need one.

Do all the heirs have to agree to sell?

Generally yes, when the heirs own it together. Most families start with a fair, independent value.

General information, not legal or tax advice. For your situation, talk with an estate attorney, a CPA, or the county probate court. More questions families ask →
