Phil Aitken’s Story:

About Matt Quitter

I’m a Jacksonville native and full-time real estate professional who specializes in helping families navigate one of the most complex types of home sales — probate and estate properties.

Since 2017, I’ve helped hundreds of buyers and sellers across Northeast Florida, but a significant part of my work involves assisting personal representatives, heirs, attorneys, and out-of-state families who need clarity, structure, and guidance during the probate process.

Selling a home as part of an estate is very different from a traditional sale. There are court timelines, legal requirements, multiple decision-makers, emotional considerations, and often a property that hasn’t been updated in years. My role is to simplify the real estate side of the process so families can focus on what matters most.

I regularly help:

  • Executors and personal representatives selling on behalf of an estate
  • Families managing inherited property from out of state
  • Homes in distress or in need of repairs
  • Situations involving multiple heirs who need clear communication and alignment
  • Properties requiring clean-out coordination, vendor management, or strategic as-is pricing

Because I know the Jacksonville market inside and out, I’m able to provide realistic pricing guidance, connect clients with trusted local vendors, and create a clear plan from listing to closing — even when there are multiple moving parts.

My approach is intentional, strategic, and transparent. Probate sales require patience, organization, and strong communication. I make sure everyone involved understands the process, the timeline, and the options available — without pressure.

As a husband and father, I understand that real estate decisions tied to an estate are deeply personal. My goal is always to protect the value of the property while making the process feel manageable and respectful.

If you’re navigating probate or managing an inherited property in Northeast Florida, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I’m here to guide you step by step.
