Short answer: Yes — PBP Real Estate sells probate and inherited property in Royal Palm Beach, working alongside the estate’s own attorney. Our Broker of Record Gia Freer has been licensed in Florida since 2000 and prepares the written date-of-death opinion of value an estate needs for its filings. The estate is administered in West Palm Beach even though the property is in the Village, and Royal Palm Beach is currently the faster half of that equation: 3.7 months of single-family supply and a median 35 days to contract this year.

What is different about an inherited property in Royal Palm Beach?

Royal Palm Beach is a Village in the central-western part of Palm Beach County, and most of its housing stock was built from the 1970s through the 2000s in platted subdivisions and planned communities. That matters to an estate for two practical reasons. First, comparable sales are genuinely comparable here in a way they are not east of I-95: a 1990s house in a Royal Palm Beach subdivision usually has near-identical neighbors that have sold recently, so a defensible value can be established quickly. Second, most of those homes sit inside a homeowners association, so the estate will need an estoppel figure and will have to satisfy the association’s transfer requirements before closing.

The other Royal Palm Beach reality is age of systems. Homes of this era commonly reach the estate with an original or first-replacement roof, older air conditioning and, in some cases, polybutylene supply plumbing. Those three items decide whether a financed and insurable buyer can purchase at all, which is a far bigger question for an estate than cosmetic condition.

We publish these figures because an estate pays insurance, taxes, association dues and maintenance for every one of those days on market, and that money comes out of what the beneficiaries finally receive.

Why shouldn't an estate price based on neighboring houses?

Royal Palm Beach houses have closed year to date at a median of 98% of the final asking price, and at a median of 35 days to contract, on 287 closings. That is a market where a correctly priced property transacts and an overpriced one is visible almost immediately. The trap for an estate is that the recent neighboring sale was very often an updated house: same floor plan, new roof, renovated kitchen. An inherited home in original condition is not that property, and pricing it as though it were produces the slow, drifting listing that costs the estate carrying costs for months.

The honest method is the opposite. Establish what the property is, in its current condition, against closings of comparable condition, and decide from there which two or three repairs are worth doing.

What value opinion does an estate actually need?

Estates usually need value as at the date of death, not value today. Comparable closings are drawn from the six to twelve months before that date, and later sales are not used simply because they exist now. We state the effective date of value on the face of the document so the historical cut-off cannot be mistaken for the preparation date. Your attorney and your CPA will both want it in that form.

No automated estimate is published on this site, and no price we give an estate is produced by software.

How do you work with an estate?

1. Confirm who has authority to sign. Usually the personal representative appointed by the court. Nothing can be listed before that exists.
2. Written date-of-death opinion of value for the estate file.
3. Association inquiries started early. In Royal Palm Beach that means the estoppel figure, the transfer or approval requirements and any open assessment — requested in parallel with the petition, not after a contract is signed.
4. An honest condition and repair assessment, with roof age, air conditioning and plumbing type addressed first because they govern whether a financed buyer can close.
5. Coordination with the attorney on court authority, beneficiary consents and timing.
6. A real launch, with weekly reporting to every beneficiary who wants it, so nobody is left guessing.

Once court authority is in place, the sale follows the same disciplined process we use for every seller in Palm Beach County. You can read exactly how we prepare, price and market a home for sale before you commit the estate to anything.

Where does probate happen and how long does it take?

A Royal Palm Beach property is administered in the probate division of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, at the Palm Beach County Main Courthouse, 205 North Dixie Highway in West Palm Beach. Formal administration in this county typically runs nine to eighteen months, while summary administration usually closes in one to three — and the summary threshold doubled to $150,000 of non-exempt value on July 1, 2026, which moved a lot of ordinary Village estates into the faster route. The full timeline is on how long probate takes in Palm Beach County.

Who signs depends on how the estate is set up: see the personal representative's guide to selling a house in Florida probate. If the house was the decedent's homestead, the heirs sign rather than the personal representative; see homestead property in a Florida probate. And if the family is not of one mind, see when heirs disagree about selling an inherited house. Once the sale closes, what the heirs owe in tax is set by the stepped-up basis; and if the property is a unit, see selling an inherited condominium.
