How to Sell an Inherited Home in San Jose

  • 11/26/25

Inheriting a home can be a blessing and a challenge at once.

I’m Dennis Loewen with North and Main Homes, and here’s how to handle an inherited property the right way.

 

Clarify Ownership

If multiple heirs are involved, confirm who has authority to sell—through probate court or trust documentation.

 

Establish Market Value

A professional valuation or broker price opinion helps you determine what the home is truly worth today.

 

Prepare the Property

Handle personal belongings thoughtfully, complete small repairs, and present the home neutrally for buyers.

 

Consult Tax Professionals

Inherited properties often get a stepped-up cost basis, meaning lower taxable gains when you sell.
