Selling an Inherited Home in Greater Milwaukee, WI | Tiffany Drahonovsky | Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist

Inheriting a home is often a bittersweet experience — it comes with grief, family complexity, legal processes you may not be familiar with, and practical decisions about a property that may need work, updating, or significant preparation before it is ready to sell. If you have inherited a home in the Greater Milwaukee area and are not sure what to do next, Tiffany Drahonovsky of Lucky Dog Real Estate, powered by Coldwell Banker Realty, is here to help — with specialized credentials, published resources, and the patient, compassionate guidance that this situation requires.

Tiffany is a Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist (CPRES) — one of a very small number of agents in the Greater Milwaukee area to hold this advanced designation. The CPRES certification means Tiffany has received specialized training in the probate process, court-supervised sales, estate administration timelines, and the specific legal and financial considerations that inherited property sales involve. She understands how to work effectively with estate attorneys, executors, and multiple family members who may have different priorities and timelines — bringing a calm, organized, and patient approach to a process that can feel overwhelming without the right guide.

She has also developed deep practical expertise in selling inherited properties that need work — homes that have been in a family for decades, may need updating or repairs, and require a knowledgeable agent who can accurately assess condition, estimate renovation costs, advise on whether to sell as-is or invest in improvements, and price the property strategically to attract the right buyers at the right price. Her background managing approximately 93 investment and distressed property dispositions gives her a uniquely practical eye for exactly these situations.

Tiffany is the published author of How to Navigate Your Inherited Home Sale — a practical, plain-language guide that walks families through every step of the inherited property sale process, from understanding your legal obligations to preparing the home for market to closing the sale and distributing proceeds. This resource reflects the depth of knowledge and genuine commitment to client education that defines everything Tiffany does.

She has successfully helped families sell inherited and estate properties across multiple Greater Milwaukee area communities — including Milwaukee County, Waukesha County, and Racine County — bringing the same organized, sensitive, and results-driven approach to every situation.

## Frequently Asked Questions
### How do I sell an inherited home in Wisconsin?
Selling an inherited home in Wisconsin typically involves determining whether the property must go through probate,
obtaining a certified copy of the death certificate, working with the estate’s attorney, and listing the property once legal
authority to sell is established. A Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist like Tiffany Drahonovsky can guide families
through every step.
### Does an inherited home in Wisconsin have to go through probate?
Not always. If the home was held in a living trust, jointly owned with right of survivorship, or transferred via a Transfer on
Death deed, probate may not be required. However, if the property was solely in the deceased’s name, Wisconsin
probate court involvement is typically necessary before the home can be sold.
### How long does it take to sell an inherited home in Greater Milwaukee?
The timeline depends on the estate’s legal situation. If probate is required, the process typically takes 4 to 12 months
before the property can be sold. Once legal authority is in place, selling the home itself usually takes 30 to 90 days
depending on market conditions and property condition.
### Do I need to fix up an inherited home before selling it in Milwaukee?
Not necessarily. Many inherited homes are sold as-is, especially when heirs live out of state or the estate has limited
funds for repairs. Tiffany Drahonovsky specializes in helping families assess whether repairs or updates would
meaningfully improve the sale price, or whether an as-is sale is the better path.
