Two Different Things
Estate Sale Or Probate?
This page covers two things that often get confused. An estate sale usually means selling the contents of a home after the owner dies, often through an estate sale company, and some people also use the term for selling the home itself. Probate is the legal side. In New Jersey, the Surrogate's Court in the county where the person lived admits the will and issues Letters Testamentary to the executor, or Letters of Administration to an administrator when there's no will, and those Letters give that person authority to act for the estate (Monmouth County Surrogate, no will).
I handle the house, from the estate sale and clean-out to the closing table. The estate's attorney handles the legal steps and confirms who has the authority to sell.
Estate Sales
Estate Sales, One Less Thing To Carry
Selling a loved one's home comes at a hard time. The people involved may live in different towns or different states, there's an estate to settle, and the house is often still full of a lifetime of belongings. It still has to be valued, emptied, prepared and sold well.
I'm Dennis Mark Interdonato, REALTOR® with Keller Williams Realty Ocean Living, and a former New Jersey home builder and residential remodeler. In an estate sale I take the house off your plate: what it's worth, what to do with everything inside it, what's worth fixing, and how to get it sold.
Clients like to repeat one of my lines back to me: "I got a guy for everything." An estate home is where that line earns its keep.
What I Handle For The Estate
Contents
Estate Sale And Clean-Out
I can arrange the estate sale and a full clean-out, so the home goes from a lifetime of belongings to ready to list without you sorting it room by room.
Repairs
A Builder's Read
I spent years building and remodeling New Jersey homes. I'll tell you which repairs pay off before a sale and which ones a buyer won't pay for, and I know the trades who can do the work.
Distance
From Wherever You Live
The executor and heirs don't have to live nearby. Updates go out in writing at every milestone, so everyone involved sees the same progress.
Buyers
Get It Sold
Full marketing, photos and video, plus direct contact with the buyers most likely to want the home, all the way to the closing table.
Professionals
Your Attorney In The Loop
The estate's attorney handles the legal steps and confirms who has the authority to sell. I keep them informed, so the sale fits the estate's timeline.
A Real Estate Sale
From A Full House To The Closing Table
A client came to me to sell a deceased relative's home in Ocean County. The house still held everything inside it, and the client already had more than enough to deal with.
I arranged the estate sale and the full clean-out, got the home ready for buyers, contacted the buyers and saw it through to closing. Here is how the client put it:
"Dennis did an excellent job handling the sale of a deceased relative’s property in Ocean County, NJ. His expertise was evident with his initial assessment of the property and selling strategy. He facilitated scheduling an estate sale and total property clean out. He contacted potential buyers and successfully navigated some unexpected challenges to get us to closing. Highly recommended for all real estate needs, but especially sales of estate properties."
Michael Z., Google review
That's the job in an estate sale. You shouldn't have to find the estate sale company, the clean-out crew, the handyman and the buyer on your own.
Step One Confirm Who Can Sell
The estate's attorney confirms who has the authority to sign: an executor named in the will, with Letters Testamentary, or an administrator, with Letters of Administration. Nothing gets listed until that's settled, but we can start planning right away.
Step Two Value The Home
A real market evaluation, backed by data and my own walk-through, so everyone with a say in the estate is looking at the same number.
Step Three Empty It Out
Once the attorney confirms who has authority over the contents, I can line up the estate sale and the clean-out, so belongings are sold, donated or removed and the home is ready to show.
Step Four Fix What Pays
You get two plans: sell as-is, or make a few targeted updates first. I'll show you what each one should bring, and the estate decides.
Step Five Market It Right
The home gets my full marketing plan: photos, video and digital exposure, launched right, because the first two weeks on the market set the price.
Step Six Updates From Anywhere
The executor and heirs don't have to live nearby. I coordinate the work at the house, and everyone involved gets the same written update at every milestone: what happened, what's next, and what to have ready.
Step Seven Closing Day
Before closing, the estate's attorney lines up what the closing needs from the estate, including, in most cases, the New Jersey inheritance tax waiver for the real estate (NJ Division of Taxation). Then the executor or administrator signs, and the house is sold.
A Builder Walks The House
An estate home has often gone years without updates. Some of that matters to buyers and some of it doesn't, and guessing wrong costs the estate money either way.
Before I recommend a price, I walk the house the way a builder does: the roof, the mechanicals, the kitchens and baths, and anything a buyer's inspector will flag. Then you decide what's worth doing. Read which upgrades add value in New Jersey before you spend a dollar.
Probate & Estate Sale Questions
What executors and heirs ask me first, and what people search for most. Legal and tax questions belong with the estate's attorney and accountant.
How does probate start in New Jersey?
In general, the executor named in the will applies to the Surrogate's Court in the county where the person lived. According to the Monmouth County Surrogate's office, the Surrogate can't issue Letters Testamentary, which give the executor authority to act for the estate, until the eleventh day after death (checked October 2026). The estate's attorney will tell you what applies in your case.
Can we list the house before probate is finished?
That's a question for the estate's attorney, because it depends on who has authority to sign and what the will says. While that's being settled, we can value the house, plan the clean-out and line up any work, so the home is ready when the estate is.
Do we have to empty the house before it's listed?
In most cases I recommend it, because buyers need to see the house, not the belongings. I can arrange an estate sale and a full clean-out so you don't have to handle it room by room.
Should we fix the house up or sell it as-is?
It depends on the house. I'll walk it with a builder's eye and show you both options, with what each one should bring. Sometimes a small, smart investment pays off. Sometimes as-is is the right call. The estate decides.
Can you help if I live out of state?
Yes. You don't need to be nearby. I coordinate the work at the house and send written updates at every milestone.
Do you work with the estate's attorney?
Yes. The estate's attorney handles the legal steps, and I keep them informed about the sale from the first walk-through to the closing table.
How long does probate take in New Jersey?
There's no single timeline, and the estate's attorney is the best person to estimate yours. A few dates are fixed: the Surrogate can't issue Letters Testamentary until the eleventh day after death (Monmouth County Surrogate), creditors generally have nine months from the date of death to present claims (N.J.S.A. 3B:22-4), and the NJ Division of Taxation says any inheritance tax is due within eight months of the death (Executor guide). I can value the home and get it ready while the attorney works through the estate, so the house isn't what holds things up.
How soon after a death can the house be sold?
Someone needs authority to sign for the estate first, and the estate's attorney confirms who that is and when. With a will, New Jersey law says the will can't be admitted to probate until 10 days after death (N.J.S.A. 3B:3-22), and the Ocean County Surrogate issues certificates on the 11th day. With no will, Ocean County issues them on the 6th day after death. In the meantime, I can value the home, plan the clean-out and line up any work, so it's ready to list when the attorney gives the go-ahead.
Do all the heirs have to agree to sell the house?
The estate's attorney makes that call, because it depends on the will, how the house is titled and the terms of the appointment. For background, New Jersey's fiduciary powers statute includes the power to sell estate real property at public or private sale among an executor's or administrator's powers, unless the will, the appointment or a court order limits it, and it doesn't apply to property the will leaves to a named person (N.J.S.A. 3B:14-23). Whatever the attorney advises, I send the executor and every heir the same written updates at each step.
Does the house have to go through probate?
Not always. The Monmouth County Surrogate says a will is probated when the person had assets in their name only, and the Ocean County Surrogate guide explains that a house held by spouses as tenants by the entirety becomes the sole property of the survivor. The deed shows how the house was held, and the estate's attorney can tell you what that means for a sale.
What happens to the house if there's no will?
The Surrogate appoints an administrator and issues Letters of Administration, which give that person authority to manage the estate (Monmouth County Surrogate). New Jersey law sets who has the first right to serve, starting with the surviving spouse or domestic partner (N.J.S.A. 3B:10-2), and who inherits (N.J.S.A. 3B:5-3 and 3B:5-4), and the administrator may need to arrange a bond. Once the attorney confirms the administrator's authority, I handle the sale the same way I would for an executor.
Who pays the mortgage, taxes and insurance while the house is for sale?
The mortgage doesn't go away when the owner dies, so ask the estate's attorney how the estate should handle payments until the sale. New Jersey's fiduciary powers statute includes the power to pay taxes, mortgage interest and other charges on estate property, keep it insured, and make repairs to preserve it or make it saleable (N.J.S.A. 3B:14-23). When the house sells, any remaining loan is typically paid off at closing from the sale.
Do we owe taxes when we sell an inherited house?
That's a question for the estate's accountant or tax professional, because the answer depends on the estate and the beneficiaries. Two official sources are a good start for that conversation: IRS Publication 551 says the basis of inherited property is generally its fair market value on the date of death, and the NJ Division of Taxation says New Jersey inheritance tax mainly depends on each beneficiary's relationship to the person who died. I can share my market evaluation of the home with them, and they'll decide whether a formal appraisal is needed.
Does the house need a New Jersey inheritance tax waiver?
In most cases, yes. The NJ Division of Taxation says New Jersey real estate can't be transferred without its written consent, a tax waiver called Form 0-1 that only the Division issues (NJ Division of Taxation). When every beneficiary is Class A, such as a spouse, child, grandchild or parent, and no tax or return is due, the executor or administrator can request the real estate waiver with Form L-9. A house held as tenants by the entirety with a surviving spouse needs no waiver. The estate's attorney or tax professional will confirm which form applies.
Can I use a power of attorney to sell the house after the owner dies?
No. The Ocean County Surrogate guide says a power of attorney automatically ends at the death of the person who signed it. After that, authority comes from the Surrogate, through Letters Testamentary for an executor or Letters of Administration for an administrator, and the estate's attorney can confirm who holds it.
Do I need a real estate agent to sell an estate home?
That's the estate's decision. An estate home usually comes with more to manage than a typical sale: the contents, the repairs, the paperwork, and several people who all need the same information. I handle the market evaluation, the estate sale and clean-out, a builder's read on which repairs pay off, the marketing and written updates at every milestone, while the estate's attorney handles the legal steps.
This page describes my general approach to selling a home as part of an estate. It is not legal or tax advice. Please speak with the estate's attorney about the probate process and your authority to sell, and with a tax professional about taxes on the sale.

I highly recommend Dennis Mark Interdonato as a realtor. My family and I lost our house in a horrible fire. We are a 4 generation family. Dennis Mark Interdonato was recommended to me by a friend on Facebook. I reached out to him. I would like to express whole-heartedly how much compassion and dedication Dennis had right from the beginning of our conversations. Dennis worked tirelessly with our insurance agent to find the perfect temporary house that required a dedicated bedroom on the main floor for my 101 year old Grandmother and also something that is pet friendly. Any questions that we had a long the way was never a bother to Dennis. When we were overwhelmed with everything, Dennis always showed us the positive side of things. When Dennis finally found a temporary rental house, which are hard to come by to begin with, he got the ball rolling right away. Dennis worked side by side with the listing agent to get us into the temporary house that we are currently in. Thank you Dennis for going above and beyond. You are amazing! You definitely deserve to be recognized for your commitment and dedication to helping us out!! If you need a realtor, you will be forever grateful having Dennis on your team!!

We now have a lifelong friend.
I want to talk about my amazing realtor Dennis Mark Interdonato I Realtor Associate. From day one he was attentive, caring, and held our hand through the entire selling process. Told us exactly what to update, exactly what to list at, told us what buyers like and don't like, etc. We took all of his advice and our house sold the first day on the market for well over asking price. We told him what we were looking for and he helped us find exactly what we wanted. Dude did everyone's jobs for them; on both sides of the transaction: the lawyers, the lenders, all of it. He answered me pretty promptly, talked me off the ledge on more than one occasion and assured me everything would work out. When we walked into our new home after we finally closed, there were a bunch of gifts, and this is one of the gifts that was wrapped. A picture of our first home. I've been doing sales my entire life and this guy went above and beyond every step of the way. This wasn't a sale for him. We all built a relationship in the process and he helped us achieve exactly what we wanted. We now have a lifelong friend. Thank you so much for everything Dennis Mark Interdonato. If anyone needs a friend in the home selling/buying business, I would reccomend him a thousand times over.
★★★★★
The experience I had with Dennis Mark was like no other.
Buying or selling a home is one of the most stressful experiences for anyone. I have bought and sold a few homes and the experience I had with Dennis Mark was like no other. Full transparency, I am close friends with Dennis but he still knows how to differentiate business and friendship. Dennis made this experience absolutely stress free from the uncanny marketing of our property to alleviating all stress and always ensuring us he has everything and to just let him do what he does best. That is what he did and after so many offers in such a short timeframe we successfully sold our home and could not be happier. If you are looking for a realtor that puts the CUSTOMER first, you dont have to look further. Dennis truly cares about your experience and will bend over backwards to make it unforgettable and as stress free as possible. Thank you so much for helping us turn the page on our next chapter.

Hiring Dennis is like hiring family to buy or sell your home.
If you've decided that you are buying or selling your home, your first thought when choosing a realtor is probably "who do I know?". You want a realtor who has some kind of connection to you, in the hopes that they will, actually, look out for your best interest. I hired Dennis in the summer of 2025, to sell my house and help me into a new one. It wasn't an easy sale and my needs in a new house, were complicated at best. Dennis attacked this situation with serious energy and a critical attention to detail. My home sold pretty quickly and by October we were ready to wrap everything up. We loaded everything we owned into a truck and headed to the closing, but the best laid plans are laid to waste. There was an issue with the home I was buying, due to an error on the seller's part. What were we supposed to do now? When it became clear that we were stuck and with no place to stay, Dennis stepped in and set us up with temporary lodging near the new house. We were there for a few days while the issue was corrected. To this day whenever my son and I drive past that hotel, we wave to the "old house". I'm told that these snags are common in real estate transactions. You know what's not common? Your realtor going way out of the way to make sure you're ok at every step of the process. Hiring Dennis is like hiring family to buy or sell your home. Thank you Dennis, Ceasar Cabrales

Dennis is a marketing tornado!!
There is only one Dennis Mark. We know SO MANY REALTORS… everyone does. Dennis is in a league of his own!!! What absolutely set Dennis apart for me is his commitment, work ethic, and relentless attention to every part of the experience he provides. With him - home purchase is not a transaction. Dennis builds personal relationships and stays present long after our closing was over: love his magazine, weekly top 5 tips, helpful guides, events. Insanely love his consistent communication, his countless thoughtful ways of continuing to bring value. When it comes to marketing a listing, Dennis is a marketing tornado!!.. His digital presence, clever strategy, detailed preparation, and the number of ways he creates exposure blew me out of the water - beyond extraordinary!!!.. Everything is designed to give a client the greatest representation and exposure, producing consistent, powerful results. I appreciate how seriously Dennis takes his promises, ethics, communication, and follow-through. Love his honest and direct approach, strategic and incredibly generous knowledgeability. Couldn't speak more highly, recommend Dennis more relentlessly: anyone looking for a realtor could not find a professional who works as relentlessly, thinks so many steps ahead, and genuinely invests in the people he represents!! 🙌
★★★★★
Sold faster than I expected.
Dennis Mark did an outstanding job selling my home in Howell, NJ. From the very beginning, he was professional, honest, and extremely knowledgeable about the local market. He made the entire process smooth and stress-free, always keeping me updated and answering every question quickly. His marketing strategy and attention to detail really paid off — my home generated strong interest right away and sold faster than I expected. Dennis truly went above and beyond to make sure everything stayed on track from listing to closing. If you're looking for a realtor who is hardworking, straightforward, responsive, and genuinely cares about his clients, I highly recommend Dennis Mark. He's an expert at what he does and I couldn't be happier with the experience.
★★★★★
He doesn't sugar coat things.
Dennis and his team went above and beyond!! I live across country and they previewed multiple houses for a short term rental I needed while searching for the "forever" home to buy. Dennis always responses to my call / texts and answers my questions with extensive knowledge. He has saved me ALOT of money by guiding me and using his vast knowledge of why a house may not be right for my family's needs. He doesn't sugar coat things and explains the area, market, prices with complete honesty. He even talked me out of a home with a possible huge commission and recommended he work harder to find us the right home! If you are searching for ANY home in NJ or need advice. Dennis is your man!
★★★★★
His dedication and work ethic are truly unmatched.
I would like to express my wholehearted gratitude to Dennis Mark Interdonato for his exceptional dedication, professionalism, and unwavering support throughout both the sale of our previous home and the purchase of our new one. Selling a home can be stressful on its own, but navigating the complexities and challenges of our new home purchase took the experience to another level. Dennis handled every obstacle with remarkable patience, persistence, and expertise. His calm demeanor, clear communication, and strategic problem-solving were instrumental in ensuring that everything came together successfully. What truly sets Dennis apart is his genuine commitment to his clients. He went above and beyond to advocate for us, often working tirelessly behind the scenes to find solutions when situations seemed impossible. His professionalism and integrity never wavered, and he always made us feel confident that we were in the best hands possible. Thanks to Dennis's hard work and determination, we not only sold our home smoothly but were also able to secure the home of our dreams — an outcome that would not have been possible without his guidance. I wholeheartedly recommend Dennis Mark Interdonato to anyone seeking a realtor who is not only exceptionally skilled but also deeply committed to his clients' success. His dedication and work ethic are truly unmatched.
