THE JANICE OVERBECK REAL ESTATE TEAM
Probate & Estate Home Sales in Marietta, GA
A home full of memories. A clear path forward.
The Janice Overbeck Real Estate Team helps executors, estate administrators, and families sell inherited homes in Marietta, Cobb County, and Greater Atlanta, Georgia. We help with pricing, home preparation, marketing, offers, and coordination through closing.
Whether you live nearby or are managing an estate from out of state, we help you build a practical plan and work alongside your estate attorney and closing team.
LOCAL KNOWLEDGE. PERSONAL SUPPORT.
You don’t have to figure it all out alone.
Handling a loved one’s home comes with practical decisions and personal emotions. Between family responsibilities, belongings, and paperwork, knowing where to start can be difficult.
We start by listening. Then we help you build a practical plan for the property, understand your options, and manage the home-selling process with clear communication every step of the way.
You don’t need a house that’s ready to list. You just need a place to start.
PRACTICAL HELP, AT EVERY STEP
Help selling an inherited home, from preparation to closing
Every estate is different. We help you focus on the decisions that matter for your property and your family.
01
Understand the home’s value
A clear market analysis helps you understand what the property could sell for based on its location, condition, and comparable sales.
02
Choose the right selling approach
Compare selling as is with making improvements. We help you weigh potential benefits against the cost, time, and effort involved.
03
Plan cleanouts and belongings
We help connect you with organizing, donation, moving, estate-sale, and cleanout resources so you can take the next steps at your pace.
04
Prepare the property for market
From recommended repairs to staging and professional photography, we help coordinate the agreed plan for presenting the home.

Manage the sale from a distance

COMMON QUESTIONS
Questions about selling a probate or inherited home
Do I need to clean out the home before contacting you?
No. You can reach out while belongings are still in the home. We can help you assess the property and create a plan for preparation, cleanout resources, and the sale.
Can you help if the property needs repairs?
Yes. We can discuss selling in its current condition and compare that approach with making selected improvements before listing. You decide which option best fits the estate’s goals.
What if I live outside Georgia?
We can help coordinate the local real estate details, arrange property access with your authorization, and keep you informed throughout the sale.
Do you sell furniture and household belongings?
Our team handles the sale of the real estate. We can help connect you with estate-sale and cleanout professionals who handle personal property and household contents.
When can an estate property be listed and sold?
Timing depends on the estate’s circumstances and the seller’s legal authority. Your estate attorney can confirm when you may proceed and what approvals or documents are needed. We can help you plan the real estate steps in advance.
Can you also help with downsizing?
Yes. Our downsizing resources can help homeowners and families plan a move, prepare a home for sale, and connect with services for organizing and moving. Visit Downsizing Made Simple to learn more.
