When a homeowner or co-owner is incarcerated, selling a property becomes far more complicated than most people realize. Between legal paperwork, title restrictions, and family communication, even the simplest tasks can feel impossible.
At Romine Group, we specialize in helping families and property owners in this exact situation. We know the process inside and out — because we’ve been doing it for years across Fresno, Kings, Tulare, Madera, and San Luis Obispo Counties.
💡 Why Selling a Home with an Incarcerated Owner Is Different
When someone is in prison, they can’t easily sign documents, access records, or communicate with escrow officers. Many families also face issues like:
Unpaid property taxes or insurance cancellations
Deferred maintenance or tenant problems
Title complications due to co-ownership or power of attorney issues
Probate confusion if the incarcerated owner inherited the home
Most agents aren’t familiar with these obstacles — but Romine Group is. We know how to navigate the paperwork, secure approvals, and bring families and escrow together so the sale closes cleanly and quickly.
🔍 Our Process Makes It Simple
1. Property & Ownership ReviewWe begin with a quick title and lien search to identify who’s on title, what’s owed, and what steps are required for authorization.
2. Coordination with Families or Legal RepresentativesOur team can work with a family member, legal representative, or authorized POA (Power of Attorney) to move the transaction forward without unnecessary delays.
3. Clear Cash OfferWe provide a written offer upfront — no hidden terms, no pressure. If the family prefers to list the property, we can fund repairs and handle the entire process.
4. Fast, Secure ClosingWe close directly through licensed escrow companies, ensuring every document is handled legally and professionally — even when one party is incarcerated.
🏛️ Local Facilities We Frequently Work With
Because we handle transactions throughout the Central Valley, we’ve helped families connected to several correctional institutions, including:
Pleasant Valley State Prison – Coalinga, Fresno County
Avenal State Prison – Avenal, Kings County
Central California Women’s Facility – Chowchilla, Madera County
Federal Correctional Institution, Mendota – Mendota, Fresno County
