We inherited a house in Denver — do we sell it, rent it, or keep it?

If your family inherited a Denver property and you are staring at each other wondering what to do next, the answer is not to rush. The smartest move right now is to get clear on what the property is actually worth in today's market before a single decision gets made. Holding, selling, or renting all have real consequences, and the one that makes sense depends on the condition of the home, the estate's financial position, and how aligned the family is on timing. Here is what I see families miss most often: they treat the inherited property like a burden to unload rather than an asset to plan around. Denver's current market is still rewarding well-prepared sellers, but a property that hits the market before it is ready, or before the probate process is clean, almost always leaves money on the table. I have watched families accept low offers under pressure when a few steady, practical steps earlier in the process would have changed the outcome entirely. The property does not disappear while you think. What disappears is your ability to make choices from a position of strength. A quiet conversation with the right people, including a probate attorney and a real estate professional who understands estate sales, costs nothing and protects everything. The respectful thing to do for the person who left that asset behind is to treat it with the same care they did. If you are currently working through a Denver probate and the family is split on whether to sell or hold, what is the one piece of information you are still missing that would help everyone agree?
