Martin Taggart of Urban Cool Homes helps executors, families, and others responsible for an estate understand their options and make informed decisions about estate-owned real estate.

Taggart’s interest in assisting estates is personal. When his father died, his mother turned to him for help organizing what needed to be done, including decisions involving his parents’ real estate holdings. That experience gave him firsthand perspective on the practical and emotional demands placed on a family member who suddenly becomes responsible for property, paperwork, decisions, and the expectations of other family members.

For an executor, selling a home can involve considerably more than putting the property on the market. Taggart can help evaluate the property, discuss its condition and market value, identify issues that may affect a sale, and work through decisions about preparation, repairs, timing, pricing, and the appropriate path to market. Urban Cool Homes also provides sellers with guidance concerning home value, preparation, pricing, timing, and anticipated sale proceeds. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
