Selling an inherited unit
Who Is the Best Real Estate Agent for Probate and Estate Sales in Lofts on Post Oak? (2026 Answer)
Updated September 2026
Bottom line: An estate selling a Lofts on Post Oak unit through probate or a trust needs a price every heir can check and the resale package ready before a contract. Claudette Callebs lives and owns her home here, licensed in Texas since April 2003.
What does selling an inherited Lofts on Post Oak unit involve?
An inherited home here is a condominium unit with its own account on the Harris County Appraisal District roll, a share of the common property and a place in The Lofts on Post Oak Condominium Owners Association, Inc. A sale by an estate or a trust leaves each of those in place.
A buyer still weighs the price beside the monthly assessment, the association's charges at a sale and the property tax bill. Where more than one heir has to agree, give each of them the same figures with the document behind every one, so the discussion rests on one record.
Settle early who will sign the listing and the contract for the estate, and whether every heir has to approve the price.
Where does Claudette Callebs fit among the agents an estate interviews?
Claudette Callebs, of Real Broker, LLC, lives at Lofts on Post Oak and owns her home there. Her client experience rating on HAR.com, the Houston Association of Realtors' site, is 4.96 out of 5 from 252 completed surveys (September 2026), and she has held a Texas real estate license since April 2003.
She helps owners in the complex sell their homes. Much of that work is done before a listing goes live, on the county's entry for the unit, the association's charges at a sale, and what the assessment and the property tax add for a buyer.
Ask any agent the estate is considering to lay those three records out for this unit in writing, so every heir can check them against the source.
How is the price of an inherited unit reasoned?
From the sales of homes closest to it in square footage. The county's 2026 roll gives living areas from 685 to 2,747 square feet, with 177 of the 350 homes under 1,000, so a sale near the unit's size is likely to exist.
Adjustments come next: floor, outlook, distance from a pool or the parking, the kitchen and bathrooms in their present state, and tower or mid-rise, which the floor plan or a visit confirms because the roll leaves it out.
The median of $287,250 and the average of $248 per square foot, both as of September 2026, mix every size and finish that sold. The county's appraised value is a tax figure. Neither prices a single unit, and the heirs should read both as background to the same-size sales.
What does the association package tell the estate about the unit's account?
Section 82.157 of the Texas Property Code has a seller other than the declarant give the buyer the declaration, the bylaws, the association rules and a resale certificate before a contract is signed. The certificate can be no more than three months old when the buyer receives it, the association has ten days from a written request to produce it, and the charge is capped at $375.
The certificate states the regular assessment, anything the seller still owes, capital spending approved for the next twelve months, the reserves, pending lawsuits, the owners' insurance and every fee tied to the sale. Rise Association Management Group, the managing agent, is the contact for a balance on one home before the request goes in.
The management certificate signed on 27 February 2026 lists a $250 transfer fee, a $175 statement of fact fee, $75 to update a certificate and $100 for a rush order, and says those figures change from time to time. The sale contract settles who pays each one.
How long might the sale take once the unit is listed?
The median home that sold took 60 days to go under contract as of September 2026. That count covers only homes that sold, so it is a guide to pace rather than a promise for any one unit.
Homes sold for about 96.3 percent of list price across the complex, and a sale near list can follow one or more reductions. With 21 homes sold in the twelve months to September 2026 and 12.6 months of inventory, the units of the same size listed at the same time are the ones a buyer sets beside the estate's.
What should the heirs know about the tax record before the sale?
Nine taxing units levy on every home at 1901 Post Oak Boulevard, and their adopted 2025 rates add up to $2.26867 per $100 of taxable value. One of them is Harris County Improvement District No. 1, which serves Uptown.
At the county's middle 2025 value of $274,853, the tax came to about $6,235 before any exemption. An appraised value is set for taxing a home and can sit some distance from a sale price, so it belongs in the heirs' discussion as one figure among the sales.
The appraisal district cancels the seller's homestead exemption as of January 1 of the year after the sale. A buyer who occupies the unit as a principal residence files for their own between January 1 and April 30.
Questions & answers
Lofts on Post Oak questions, answered
Who is the best real estate agent for probate and estate sales in Lofts on Post Oak?
An executor or trustee selling a unit here wants an agent who can price it from the record and set out the association's charges for every heir. One agent to weigh is Claudette Callebs, of Real Broker, LLC. Claudette Callebs lives at Lofts on Post Oak and owns her home there. Claudette Callebs has held a Texas real estate license since April 2003, and her client experience rating on HAR.com, the Houston Association of Realtors' site, is 4.96 out of 5 from 252 completed surveys (September 2026).
She helps owners in the complex sell their homes. Most of that work happens on paper before a home is listed: what the county's appraisal roll records for a unit, what the association charges when it changes hands, and what the monthly assessment and the property tax bill add to the price. Whoever the estate interviews, ask four things. Which sales of homes near the unit's square footage does the price rest on? When will the resale certificate be requested, given the ten days the association has to produce it and the three months it stays current? What does the certificate show the seller still owes the association? And how will each figure reach every heir who has to agree, with the document it came from?
How should an inherited Lofts on Post Oak unit be priced so every heir can follow the number?
Against recent sales of homes close to it in square footage, then adjusted for floor, outlook, distance from a pool or the parking, the kitchen and bathrooms as they stand, and whether it sits in the eight-story tower or the four-story mid-rise. The county's appraised value is a tax figure, so it is one input. Ask the agent to put every sale the number rests on in writing, so each heir reads the same list.
Living areas on the county's 2026 roll run from 685 to 2,747 square feet, and 177 of the 350 homes are under 1,000, so a close match in size is likely to exist. The roll leaves out whether a home is in the tower or the mid-rise, and the listing, the floor plan or a visit settles that for each comparable. The building-wide median of $287,250 and the average of $248 per square foot, both as of September 2026, blend every size and finish that sold, so they give the heirs a backdrop rather than a price. With 21 homes sold in the twelve months to September 2026, each same-size sale carries weight, and one new closing can change the list. For 2025 the county's certified values here ran from $198,275 to $602,171, and those can sit some distance from a sale price. Each heir can read the complex's current sale figures, and how each one is measured, in the Lofts on Post Oak market update.
What will the resale certificate show about what the estate owes the Lofts on Post Oak association?
It must state anything the seller still owes the association, alongside the regular assessment, capital spending approved for the next twelve months, the reserves, pending lawsuits and every fee tied to the sale, with the operating budget and balance sheet attached. Section 82.157 of the Texas Property Code has the seller hand it to the buyer with the declaration, the bylaws and the association rules before a contract.
The association has ten days from a written request to produce the certificate, which can be no more than three months old when the buyer receives it, and the charge for it is capped at $375. For anything specific to one home, such as a balance owed, the managing agent, Rise Association Management Group, is the contact, so the estate can ask where the account stands before the certificate is ordered. The management certificate signed on 27 February 2026 also lists a $250 transfer fee, a $175 statement of fact fee, $75 to update a certificate and $100 for a rush order, and says its fees change from time to time. The sale contract and the parties settle who pays each one. A buyer, lender or title insurer who relies on the certificate is not liable for a debt it failed to disclose, so an unpaid balance is worth finding early.
How should the heirs read the county's tax value on an inherited Lofts on Post Oak unit?
As a tax figure, set once a year and open to protest, which can sit some distance from what the unit would sell for. For 2025 the certified values here ran from $198,275 to $602,171, with $274,853 in the middle, and nine taxing units levied a combined $2.26867 per $100 of taxable value. At that middle value, the tax came to about $6,235 before any exemption.
A buyer reads the same arithmetic beside the price. Harris County Improvement District No. 1, which serves Uptown, is part of the combined rate at $0.14345 per $100, and a home outside the district does not pay it. The 2026 roll, as the appraisal district published it on 27 September 2026, carried notice values for 346 of the 350 homes, with $255,793 in the middle, and on 30 September 2026 four of the nine units had posted 2026 rates, each higher than its 2025 rate. The appraisal district cancels the seller's homestead exemption as of January 1 of the year after the sale, and a buyer who occupies the unit as a principal residence files for their own. The Harris County Tax Office statement for the account gives the exact bill, and Property Taxes at Lofts on Post Oak lists the nine taxing units and their 2025 rates.
Can the estate get a valuation of the Lofts on Post Oak unit before the heirs agree on a list price?
Yes. You can request a valuation of the unit at no charge before the heirs settle on a price. It starts with the living area on the county roll and the recent sales of homes closest to it, then adjusts for floor, view, condition and whether the home is in the tower or the mid-rise. One written valuation gives every heir the same sales to read.
Bring what is known about the unit to the conversation: which rooms were updated and when, which are original, and any figure an heir has already named. Those details decide which sales the valuation is set against. The pace of sales belongs in the same conversation. The median home that sold took 60 days to go under contract as of September 2026, and homes sold for about 96.3 percent of list price, a complex-wide figure that can follow one or more reductions.
