Overview

Neighbors may offer agent names quickly. Online estimates can look precise. Neither replaces confirming who can act, gathering documents, and understanding that date-of-death value and basis questions may matter before any sale talk. Keep the early sequence clean.

What to keep in mind

  • Establish who can legally act before interviewing agents
  • Treat online estimates as rough context, not tax documents
  • Bring a CPA or planner in if large accounts or benefits are also in play
