Inherited a Home in San Antonio? I've Been There Too.

I help local and out-of-state heirs sell inherited properties in Northeast San Antonio — navigating the paperwork, the programs, and the emotions that come with it. I know this process firsthand.

You Inherited a Property You're Not Sure What to Do With. I Can Help.

Dealing with an inherited home is overwhelming — especially when you’re also grieving. Between clearing out belongings, understanding Texas probate law, navigating lender requirements, and figuring out what programs like MERP could mean for the estate, most heirs don’t know where to start. I do — because I went through it myself in 2025.

Amanda's Personal Experience

In November 2025, I inherited my mother’s home after her passing. What followed was one of the most complex real estate transactions I’ve ever been involved in, and I’ve been a REALTOR® since 2017.

Two days before our original close date in March 2026, I hit a wall with MERP — the Medicaid Estate Recovery Program in Texas — which can place a claim against an estate before it can be sold. Then came lender obstacles: with no authorized representative on the account, obtaining a simple payoff statement to close became nearly impossible.

I successfully navigated both situations and closed in April 2026. These are experiences that are extremely difficult to understand unless you’ve been through them personally. Now I use everything I learned to help other heirs avoid the same confusion, delays, and heartache.

Local and out-of-state heirs

Whether you're right here in San Antonio or managing this from another state, I coordinate the entire process so you don't have to be here every step of the way.

Heirs who don't want to keep the property

You didn't plan for this home. You don't have to keep it. I'll help you sell it cleanly, efficiently, and at full market value.

Single-family residential properties in Northeast San Antonio — this is the property type I specialize in.

Estates with complicated payoff or lender situations

If there's a mortgage, a reverse mortgage, or no clear authorized representative on the account, I know how to navigate that — because I've done it.

MERP — Medicaid Estate Recovery Program (Texas)
If your loved one received Medicaid benefits in Texas, the state may have a claim against the estate before the home can be sold. I’ve navigated this firsthand and can help you understand your options and timeline.
Lender Payoff & Authorized Representative Issues
When there’s no authorized rep on a mortgage account, getting a payoff statement to close can feel impossible. I know exactly what steps to take and who to call to keep the transaction moving.

Clearing, Donating & Preparing a Vacant Home
Most inherited homes need to be cleared before they’re ready to list. I can connect you with trusted local resources and guide you through preparing the property for sale — even from out of state.
Texas Probate & Title Considerations
Texas has specific rules around how inherited property can be sold depending on whether probate has been completed. I work alongside title companies and attorneys to make sure your sale is legally clean.

I sold my own mother’s inherited home in San Antonio in 2026 — navigating MERP, lender obstacles, and a delayed close. Since 2017 as an agent, that experience taught me more about the inherited property process in Texas than any transaction before it. I’m now a resource so other heirs don’t have to figure this out alone.
