Hello,
I'm Denise Davis, a certified probate real estate specialist (CPRES) and licensed realtor in Greenville NC. I help individuals all across North Carolina to confidently navigate through the probate process.
​
Since 2007, I have worked as a registered nurse. It is just as important to me that I provide my clients with the same care, trust and understanding that I provide my patients.
When you work with me, I will help remove some of the stress that the probate process can bring, because I care and I want this process to be one less burden on you.
I wish I could say that the probate process was a quick and easy process, but in all actuality there is a timeline to be followed and it can take some time to get through it.
If you are unfamiliar with the probate process it is important that you work with a probate real estate agent like myself to help put in place the necessary services that you are going to need to bring the probate process to completion.

Don't Take On Probate Alone.
Getting The House Prepared to Sell.
I know it can be difficult and emotional selling the home of a loved one who has passed away, especially if you are living miles away from the home.
​
Finding a certified probate real estate agent who can be trusted and is familiar with the probate process, the details and necessary steps to place the home on the market and get it sold for the highest price possible is imperative.
​
This is because a house that is involved in probate can sometimes be handled differently than your traditional home sale. If things are not handled correctly it can cause a delay in the process and a delay in the heirs or beneficiaries receiving what is rightfully theirs.
​
To ensure that the process runs smoothly my solutions team is in place and ready to handle all of the necessary details to selling your loved one's home and keep you updated with the process so you have one less thing to worry about.
