Compassionate Help for Families Handling Estate Property
Local support to guide you through real estate decisions during the probate process.
Dealing with a loved one’s estate is never easy — especially when a home or other property is involved. I’m Randy Ledbetter, a licensed real estate broker and certified residential appraiser serving the Western Suburbs and surrounding areas.
I specialize in guiding families through the real estate side of the probate process — with compassion, clarity, and no pressure.
Whether you’re an executor, administrator, or family member, I’m here to help you:
Understand the current market value of the home
Weigh your options: sell, buy out, or hold
Coordinate with attorneys, contractors, and service providers
This is a time to make informed, steady decisions. My goal is to offer calm, experienced support every step of the way.
What Does a Probate Real Estate Guide Actually Do?
I support families by
Providing a professional opinion of value (BPO or full market analysis)
Coordinating clean-outs, basic repairs, and vendor estimates
Helping determine if selling, holding, or transferring the property makes sense
Communicating clearly with attorneys, title companies, and family members
You don’t need to know exactly what to do — that’s why I’m here.
Common Situations I Help With
"I’m out of state and need someone I can trust locally."
"We don’t know if the home should be sold or transferred."
"The home is vacant and needs a cleanout or repairs."
"My siblings and I aren’t on the same page."
"We need to know what the home is worth for court or tax reasons."
What Happens First?
Establish authority (Letters of Office or court documents)
Request a property consultation or value estimate
Create a property plan based on timeline, goals, and family situation
Whether you're weeks in or months away, it helps to know your options early.
