For heirs and families
Inherited a Property in South Florida?
Inheriting a property often comes with much more than a set of keys. You may be dealing with the loss of a loved one, unfamiliar paperwork, years of personal belongings, property repairs, or decisions involving multiple family members.

Whether the property is still in probate, has unresolved title issues, carries a mortgage or other liens, or simply needs more work than you want to take on, our team can help simplify the situation and evaluate the property for a direct cash offer in its current condition.

How we help
What Kalvaitis Group can help with.
We evaluate complicated estate-owned and inherited properties across Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade Counties. That means researching what is recorded against the property, reviewing its condition, and understanding who has the authority to make decisions about it.
From there we coordinate with the people who need to be involved, including family members, the estate's attorney, loan servicers, and associations, and we provide practical real estate solutions based on what the family actually wants to accomplish.
Kalvaitis Group is a real estate solutions company, not a law firm. We do not provide legal representation or legal advice. Legal questions about an estate, a will, or ownership should be addressed by a qualified Florida attorney.
Does an inherited property have to go through probate?
Probate is the legal process used to settle a person's estate after they pass away. Whether an inherited property must go through probate depends on how the property was owned, whether it was held in a trust, whether a valid will exists, and other circumstances. If probate is required, the property may still be evaluated and placed under contract while the estate works toward obtaining the authority needed to complete the sale.

There is usually more than one reasonable path.
A direct cash offer is one option among several. Which one fits depends on the property, the estate, and what the family wants.
Keep the property
Some families want to hold the home, move into it, or rent it out. That path depends on the mortgage, the condition of the property, and whether everyone involved agrees.
Sell through a traditional listing
If the property is in reasonable condition and the estate has time, listing on the open market may produce the strongest result. We will say so when that is the case.
Sell directly in its current condition
A direct sale can suit families who do not want to repair, clean out, or carry the property while an estate is being handled. We can evaluate the property as it stands today.
Resolve the open issues first
Sometimes the right first step is clearing title, confirming ownership, addressing a lien, or completing part of probate before any decision is made.
