Inherited a house in the Phoenix metro? Arizona’s most credentialed probate real estate team is one call away.

Nobody knows who has the legal authority to sell

The power of attorney ended the moment they passed. A will names heirs but doesn’t appoint an authority. Now the property is in a deceased person’s name, and the family isn’t sure what to do next.

Probate is taking much longer than expected

Most families expect two or three months. Arizona’s mandatory creditor notification period alone is four months — and it doesn’t start until you formally open probate. Meanwhile, the house costs money every single day.

Nobody can agree on what the property is worth

Five online tools give five different numbers, varying by $50,000 or more. One sibling says hold out. Another says sell. What you actually need is a credentialed professional who walked through the property.

The family can’t agree on what to do

One heir wants to sell. One wants to rent. One wants to move in. The personal representative is managing it all from out of state. The house sits, and the decisions pile up.

The contents of the house feel impossible to face

Fifty years of accumulated life. Nobody knows where to start, what has value, or what to do with everything left behind. The idea of clearing it out is overwhelming.

A cash offer came in, and it feels too low

The number sounds below what you believe the property is worth — but when you run the real math on carrying costs, commissions, repairs, and timeline, the picture often looks very different.

Drew Grunwald

CO-FOUNDER & MANAGING PARTNER

Drew has spent more than thirty years in real estate — as a mortgage lender, a condo developer and general manager, a real estate investor, and a teacher to thousands of aspiring investors across the country. He helped raise more than $500 million in private equity for real estate investments.

When his own father passed without a will or a trust, Drew found himself navigating probate as the heir, not the professional. He knew the business inside and out. It was still hard. That experience became the foundation for the probate-focused work A2B Invest does today.

Drew served in the United States Navy’s Nuclear Power program — an experience that shaped how he approaches every hard problem: show up precisely, follow through completely, and never walk away from something that matters.

Andrew Ament

CO-FOUNDER & LICENSED APPRAISER

Andrew Ament is a licensed real estate agent and a licensed appraiser with decades of experience in the Greater Phoenix market. His appraisal credential sets A2B Invest apart from every other cash buyer in Arizona — when we evaluate your property, the assessment carries the same professional weight that lenders and courts rely on.

Andrew and Drew first worked together more than twenty-five years ago, when Andrew managed properties for the condo conversion company Drew was running in Phoenix. They stayed connected through careers that took them different directions, then reunited to build A2B Invest in 2017.

When you need to know what a property is actually worth — not what Zillow says, not what an investor with a spreadsheet guesses — Andrew’s appraisal credential answers that question with the kind of professional authority that settles disagreements and supports decisions.

Cash Purchase — As-Is

We buy the property in its current condition — no repairs, no staging, no financing contingencies. We pay all traditional closing costs. One number, no deduction lists, no surprises between offer and close.

We will agree to buy the home and wait for probate to clear — 60 days, six months, or longer. Your family has a signed agreement and a known price while the legal process finishes. After closing, take what you want and leave everything else. We handle the contents

Best when the family wants certainty and wants to stop the carrying costs — or when the property needs significant work and funding renovations is not practical.

Professional Property Valuation

Before you decide anything, you need to know what the property is actually worth. Not Zillow. Not a cash investor’s estimate. A real, licensed appraisal from someone who walked through the home — the same standard lenders and courts use.

Andrew’s credential means the valuation we provide carries professional authority. Heirs can rely on it. Attorneys can use it. It settles disagreements that online tools cannot.

Best when the family needs a credible number before deciding between paths — or when heirs disagree on value and a licensed professional assessment is needed to move forward.

Traditional Listing & Sale

When the numbers favor a traditional sale — when the property is in good condition, the family has bandwidth to manage the process, and the net proceeds after costs justify it — we are licensed agents with deep probate experience.

We understand the court confirmation process, the disclosure requirements for probate properties, and how to position an estate property for the right buyers in the Greater Phoenix market.

Best when the property is in good condition, there is no pressure on timeline, and the real net-proceeds math — after all costs and time — clearly favors a traditional sale.

“When I told him he could take whatever he wanted from the house and leave everything else — that we would handle it — I watched the tension go out of his shoulders. He smiled. It may have been the first genuine smile he had managed in months.”

— DREW GRUNWALD, RECOUNTING A MARICOPA TRANSACTION

“I sat down with all three of them and walked through the reality of the situation together. Not estimates. Real numbers, on paper, in front of everyone at the same time. When people can see the math, the fog lifts a little.”

— DREW GRUNWALD, ON A SUN LAKES ESTATE

“Most of the advice available out there comes from people who have never been on the heir’s side of the table. Drew has. That experience is the reason the families who work with A2B Invest trust the conversation from the very first call.”

— ANDREW AMENT, CO-FOUNDER, A2B INVEST
