Selling a parent's or loved one's home — handled with patience, discretion, and a plan.
There's grief, there's paperwork, and often there are siblings in three different time zones. On top of that, the house may be full of a lifetime of belongings and hasn't been updated in decades.
The Peacock Group works with personal representatives, executors, trustees, and heirs across Escambia and Santa Rosa County to sell estate and inherited property. We coordinate with your probate attorney, take the logistics off your plate, and market the home properly so the estate nets what it should.
Wayne Peacock is licensed in Florida and Alabama, which matters when an estate holds property on both sides of the state line.
"Wayne was instrumental in selling my mother's house within one week of putting it on the market. After she unexpectedly passed, Wayne was diligent to prepare the house for listing. He was able to preserve items I later retrieved to add to my own home. He secured the sale at the desired listing price, and handled for us all the necessary paperwork through closing. Because of his dedication in service, I have no reservations to recommend him to be your realtor."

You should be handling the family. We'll handle the house.
A general overview — your attorney's guidance governs the legal specifics of your estate.
The personal representative (executor) is appointed by the Escambia or Santa Rosa County probate court and receives Letters of Administration. We can list before this is final so you're market-ready the day it clears.
We walk the home with you, sort what stays and what goes, and bring in cleanout, repair, and staging vendors. Personal items get preserved and returned to the family, not tossed.
We provide a defensible valuation your attorney and any interested heirs can review, then market the home fully — MLS, syndication, professional media, and targeted buyer outreach.
Offers are presented to all heirs and counsel with a plain-English breakdown of net proceeds. We manage inspections, title, and any court confirmation through to disbursement.
The Peacock Group is a real estate brokerage team, not a law firm. Nothing on this page is legal or tax advice. We work alongside your probate attorney and CPA.
Get a no-obligation valuation of the estate property — useful for the court, for the heirs, and for deciding whether to sell or hold.
Get a Home ValueEstate homes deserve the same professional marketing as any other listing — video, drone, staging, and full syndication.
Our Seller ServicesYes. In Florida, once the court appoints a personal representative and issues Letters of Administration, that person can list and sell estate real property. If the will grants power of sale, the process is usually straightforward. If it doesn't, the court may need to authorize the sale — we work alongside your probate attorney so nothing stalls.
Formal administration in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties typically runs several months, but the home itself often sells in weeks once it's listed. We commonly prepare and market the property while the estate is still being administered so the closing lines up with the court timeline instead of waiting on it.
No. We handle homes exactly as they are. We can arrange estate sales, donation pickups, junk removal, and cosmetic repairs — and in many cases those costs can be paid at closing rather than out of pocket.
Most of our probate clients do. Everything can be handled remotely: video walkthroughs, digital signatures, remote notarization where allowed, and wired proceeds. You do not need to fly to Pensacola to sell the home.
We stay neutral and keep everyone equally informed. Our job is a documented, defensible valuation and a transparent marketing process so the decision is based on facts, not assumptions. Legal disputes go to your attorney — the real estate side stays clean.
No. The initial consultation and market valuation are free and carry no obligation. Call 850-601-9096 or send us a note and we'll walk you through your options.
Tell us a little about the property and where the estate stands. No pressure, no obligation — we'll tell you honestly what your options are.
