[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell them it has to be sold due to tax reasons.  There’s no disputing that.  Set a date that the realtor is coming and the house will need to be empty by that date.  Suggest they move anything they wish to keep to storage, and there will be an estate sale and clean out the week before the realtor comes.[/quote]

This is genius and true. I'm doing this.

I told the real estate agent a date for getting house on the market and copied hoarder who emailed within minutes to say it'll be a month later. OMG. The delay tactics have already started (again).

Why on earth are you copying your sibling on this stuff? Get a plan with the real estate agent and just execute on your plan. You have POA. You need to assume the relationship with your sibling will implode. They have a mental illness. You aren’t going to magically solve this. Just do what you need to do.[/quote]

You are right. It’s hard to step out of the family dynamic yet I’m going to do what you say.

You all are helping me feel brave. Thank you!!

If this RE agent backs out do not share name and contact info of next one with mentally ill person.

When is the date for the estate sale? The company will publicize it. No backing off it. [/quote]
