Michigan Probate Real Estate Services

Protect the estate. Honor a legacy. Guiding you through selling and managing real estate during probate. Built exclusively for Michigan Executors.

About Dolinski Group

You didn’t ask to be a Michigan executor—but now timelines, paperwork, and a vacant home are on your shoulders. Dolinski guides executors and families through decisions around real estate, such as valuation, repairs vs. as-is, the sale itself.

Where most agents “dabble” or treat probate as “just another sale”, Dolinski is the only real estate group with a service model built around the unique needs of Michigan executors and families who need to sell real estate during life’s transitions, such as probate. We’re guiding families where most agents simply guess.

Clarity. Not Pressure.

We translate probate steps into plain English and pace decisions with your reality.

People First.

We protect relationships as much as we protect value through our compassion over commission approach.

Values-Based Approach.

We measure success not just in sale price, but in how supported your family feels through the process.

Real-Options.

We show the numbers for listing vs. selling as-is so you can choose confidently.

Built To Solve. Not Sell.

Most real estate agents can sell a home. Few understand the unique pressures of probate. Dolinski was built to solve the exact challenges Michigan executors or personal representatives face:

Valuation clarity. Courts and heirs need a defensible home value—not a guess from an online tool.
Maintenance & costs. Vacant homes drain estates. We track holding costs and connect you with vetted partners.
Court & family complexity. Probate deadlines, attorney coordination, and family disagreements can derail progress. We keep the process steady, neutral, and compliant.

Not Ready? Start With Free Guides.

Drawn from the extensive experience of Michigan probate attorneys, you will find probate basics translated into plain english so you can feel confident in the steps ahead. We bring simple explanations of how Michigan probate works — from court timelines to personal representative responsibilities.

Clear Guidance for Every Step of Estate Settlement

A free, step-by-step spreadsheet with 1+ hour of course content designed to help you organize assets, debts, and documents with confidence. It’s the practical tool many Michigan families use to bring order to the estate process before making big decisions.

With the Estate Compass you can track progress, avoid confusion, and stay focused on what matters most: settling the estate with clarity and peace of mind.

Letter From The Founder

To Out-Of-State Executors

I know many of the families I work with don’t live anywhere near Michigan. You might be hundreds, even thousands of miles away, but still responsible for an estate here. That’s overwhelming — I’ve seen it countless times.

That’s why I built Dolinski Group around clarity and compassion. We don’t just list a house — we guide you through the entire probate process, connect you with the right local resources, and keep you informed every step of the way. My background as a nurse taught me that people need honesty, patience, and steady guidance during hard times, and I’ve carried that into my work as a probate real estate agent.

If you’re managing probate from out of state, know this: you don’t have to figure it all out alone. My team and I are here to be your eyes, ears, and boots on the ground in Michigan.

It’s common for executors to live outside Michigan. That doesn’t have to complicate the process.
We’ve helped families close estates remotely—Ohio, Texas, and beyond—using:

Virtual listing presentations.
Electronic agreements & signatures.
Remote updates and digital photo walkthroughs.

To Probate Attorneys

We built Dolinski Group specifically to handle the real estate side of probate with the same professionalism and clarity you bring to the legal side. From providing quick, defensible valuations to managing property cleanouts and listing prep, our goal is simple: take work off your plate, so you can focus on what you do best.

I value being the kind of partner you don’t have to double-check. You can trust that when you send a family our way, they’ll get compassionate guidance, practical options, and consistent communication — the same standard of care you give your own clients.

Dolinski helps attorneys clear non-billable tasks off their plate and close cases faster.

Quick, accurate valuations.
Network of cleanout and repair professionals.
Probate-specific listing experience.

“Alex Craig is a total pro. There were some complexities to my situation, since I was selling a house remotely on behalf of my family, and Alex navigated it all seamlessly. He went the extra mile several times over and stuck with us every step of the way.”
– Mark D., Ohio Resident

Frequently Asked Questions

What About Trusts and Conservatorships?

The Dolinski Group also handles a lot of transactions inside of a trust or associated with conservatorships and power of attorneys. Often these are just different vehicles for dealing with an estate. We have experience selling real estate in many of these situations. Rest assured, our probate real estate services are also a good fit for those who need to sell a home they inherited through a trust or one they have power of attorney over.

Should I Contact A Real Estate Agent or Attorney First?

Generally, it is a good idea to contact your attorney first. An attorney is needed, often, to start the probate process. As real estate agents, we specialize in helping you dispose of any real estate in the estate. This can mean helping remove junk all the way to listing and marketing the home.

However, if you do not know an attorney, you can reach out to the Dolinski Group and we can refer you to the one of attorneys we work with.

How Long Does It Take To Sell A Home In Probate?

There are two factors that affect how long it takes to sell a home in probate. First, there is the probate process. This is heavily dependent on the court system, whether there was a Will or not, and how quick your attorney files necessary paperwork.

The second factor is dependent on the real estate market and your real estate agent. When houses are selling fast, a probate property will sell quickly with minimal work put into it. When real estate markets slow, it takes longer to sell a house.

There is also the matter of your real estate agent. An experienced probate realtor is going to result in a faster home sale. Also, you could choose, for example, to use the Dolinski Group’s cash offer program.

Ready To Take The Next Steps?

Probate is complicated, but it doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. This season is heavy. Our promise is simple: clarity without pressure, options without jargon, and steady communication until the home is sold and the estate is protected.
