Selling an inherited home in Lodi, handled with care
Selling a home you inherited, with care. I help you prepare, price and sell it, one clear step at a time.
When the house comes with the memories
Selling a home you inherited is rarely only about real estate. It's your parent's kitchen, the hallway with the height marks, the garden someone tended for years. And it often lands on your plate during one of the hardest seasons of your life.
Selling an inherited home in Lodi also brings practical questions. Who has the authority to sign? What needs to happen before it can be listed? What should be fixed, and what should be left alone?
I'm Audrey Schmierer, a REALTOR® with Keller Williams Central Valley, and I've helped clients sell an inherited home. My job is to take the details off your plate, so you can focus on your family.
How I help
I work alongside your attorney or trustee. Always. The legal side belongs with them, and I keep the real estate side moving in step, so nothing gets ahead of what the estate or trust allows.
We prepare the home, together. Many inherited homes need a clean-out, a few repairs, or simply a fresh look. We decide what's worth doing for the sale, and what isn't.
Three clear pricing options. We review recent sales and comparable homes, and you choose between market pricing, aggressive pricing to draw more offers, or top-of-the-market pricing. That makes it easier for everyone involved to agree.
Clear, regular updates. When several family members are involved, clear communication keeps everyone on the same page. See what happens from launch to closing.
What you get
- A partner who works alongside your attorney or trustee
- Help preparing the home for sale
- Three clear pricing options, built from recent sales

I'm not an attorney or tax advisor. Questions about probate, trusts or taxes belong with your attorney or trustee, and I'll work alongside them.
