First — I'm sorry for your loss. Settling an estate is a lot to carry, especially the house: the belongings, the repairs, the paperwork, the distance, the other family members. You don't have to figure the real estate out alone.
I'm Robin Guajardo, a local Realtor with Real Estate One and a Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES). I help families sell inherited, probate, and trust homes across Downriver — patiently, on your timeline, and handled from start to finish. I'm not an attorney; I work alongside yours to make the property the simplest thing on your list.
Free. Private. No obligation. I'll reach out gently.
Often, yes — but the timing depends on the type of estate, whether a personal representative has been appointed, and what the court requires. Your attorney sets that timeline. I work inside it, and I've done it enough times to know how to stay out of your way while it happens.
There's usually more you can do while you wait than families realize. Knowing what the home is worth, what it actually needs, and what it would net gives you something solid to talk about with your siblings — instead of guessing at each other from three different states.
The sale itself moves at normal speed. Downriver homes have been averaging roughly one to four weeks on market depending on the city (Realcomp II Ltd., July 2026), and listing to closing typically runs another 30 to 45 days with a financed buyer.
What actually sets the overall timeline is the estate, not the market — when the personal representative is appointed and when the court signs off. That's why I'd rather have the home ready and priced before you're cleared to sell, so nothing waits on us.
I'm a Realtor, not an attorney or a tax advisor. Probate procedure, estate taxes, and how title should be held are questions for your attorney or CPA. I'll say so plainly when you've hit one.
I coordinate trusted estate-sale and clean-out partners, so an entire house of a lifetime's things gets handled with care — not dumped on you.
No repairs, no staging marathon, no cleaning before we talk. I know how to price and market an as-is estate home to the right buyers.
I work to the estate's schedule and coordinate with your attorney so the sale lines up with what the court and creditors require.
Out-of-state heirs, multiple decision-makers — I keep everyone informed, in writing, and stay neutral so the house doesn't become the fight.
"Your only job right now is to grieve and to make good decisions. My job is to make sure the house is the easiest of them."
Not always. In Michigan, once the court issues Letters of Authority, the Personal Representative generally has authority to sell the home — sometimes with court approval, depending on the Letters. If the home is in a trust, a sale may not require probate at all. Your attorney confirms the specifics for your estate; I'll make sure the real estate lines up with whatever path you're on. (I'm a Realtor, not an attorney.)
Not at all — that's the normal starting point, and it's exactly what I handle. You don't need to clean, repair, or empty anything before we talk. I bring in trusted clean-out and estate-sale partners and market the home as-is to buyers who expect that. One less thing on your plate.
Yes — this is common, and I'm used to it. I communicate with everyone at the same time and in writing, coordinate access and showings remotely, and stay completely neutral. My job is the house, so the family can focus on each other.
No. I'm a licensed Realtor with Real Estate One (SRES certified). For the legal and tax pieces — probate procedure, the will or trust, estate taxes — you'll want your attorney and a CPA, and I'm glad to refer excellent local ones. I handle the real estate, and I coordinate closely with them.
Nothing. The conversation is free, private, and with no obligation. If you decide to sell, my commission is paid at closing from the proceeds — never up front — and we'll go over everything clearly before you commit to anything.
Only me. Your information is never sold, shared, or handed to an investor or lead company. You're reaching one local Realtor, and one local Realtor is who responds — privately and with respect.
