When a loved one passes away, handling their estate can feel overwhelming. When the estate includes a property with a reverse mortgage, things can become even more complicated. At DMV Probate Experts, a subsidiary of Brickfront Properties and Construction, we’re here to guide you through selling a home with a reverse mortgage during probate—making this complex process as simple as possible. Here’s what you need to know.
Understanding Reverse Mortgages and Probate
A reverse mortgage allows homeowners aged 62 or older to convert part of their home’s equity into cash, often to supplement retirement income. Unlike a traditional mortgage, reverse mortgage payments are not required as long as the homeowner lives in the home. However, once they pass, the reverse mortgage must be repaid, usually through the sale of the home.
If you’re an executor or an heir handling a property with a reverse mortgage, you’ll typically need to act quickly. Lenders may only provide a short timeframe to repay the loan or settle the reverse mortgage before they consider foreclosure. This is where DMV Probate Experts comes in: we specialize in helping heirs and executors in the DMV area (Washington DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia) by purchasing inherited properties as-is, even those with reverse mortgages.
Why Selling to DMV Probate Experts is a Smart Choice
Handling a reverse mortgage in probate is time-sensitive. You may feel pressured to make repairs, list the property, or go through extensive paperwork—all while balancing other family or professional responsibilities. Selling the property directly to us helps you:
- Avoid Repairs – We buy homes as-is, which means you don’t have to worry about fixing up the property or spending on costly renovations.
- Save on Fees – Traditional sales often involve realtor fees, listing fees, and more. When you sell to DMV Probate Experts, we cover closing costs.
- Close Quickly – With our process, you can get a fast cash offer and settle the reverse mortgage without the usual delays.
