You Don’t Have to Figure This Out Alone.
Inheriting a home can feel overwhelming. There may be belongings to sort through, repairs to consider, paperwork to handle, and decisions about what comes next. We help families simplify the process from the first conversation through the final sale.
01
SORT IT
OUT
Estate sales, personal property, donations and cleanouts. We help you decide what stays, what goes and what to do with everything in between.
02
PREPARE THE HOME
Repairs, contractors, cleaning and staging. We help get the home ready for the market without making the process more complicated than it needs to be.
03
SELL WITH CONFIDENCE
Pricing, marketing, negotiations and closing. We handle the sale from start to finish and keep you informed every step of the way.
One Call. One Team. Start to Finish.
Every inherited home is different. You may need help with just one part of the process or all of it. We coordinate the details so you don’t have to manage multiple companies, contractors and moving pieces on your own.

Before You Sell to an Investor, Talk to Us.
Selling directly to an investor can be fast and convenient, but convenience can come at a cost. Investor offers are typically based on buying the property below its potential market value so there is room for repairs, carrying costs and profit.
Before you accept an offer, let us take a look at the home and help you understand what it may actually be worth.
And don’t forget what’s inside the house.
With an inherited home, furniture, collectibles, tools, jewelry, artwork, household goods and other belongings may have value of their own. We can help you determine what can be sold, what can be donated and what should be cleared out while also helping you get the home ready for the traditional market.
You may still decide an investor sale is right for you. We just want you to know what your options are before you sign.

We’re Paul Froiland and Michelle Russell, the team behind Russell Froiland Residential. We live and work in the communities we serve, and we believe real estate should feel personal because it is.
When a family inherits a home, there can be a lot more to deal with than simply putting a sign in the yard. We help you work through the house, the belongings, the preparation and ultimately the sale at your pace and without unnecessary pressure.
