The §363 Sale: Process at a Glance
| Step | What Happens | Who Acts | Timing |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Trustee selects broker, attorney files §327 application | Trustee + attorney | Days 1–14 |
| 2 | Broker delivers BPO or appraisal | OLH specialist | Days 5–21 |
| 3 | Property listed and actively marketed | OLH specialist | Days 14–60+ |
| 4 | Offer received; trustee provisionally accepts | Trustee + OLH | Per market |

Timeline varies by district, complexity, and whether creditors object or submit overbids.
Why Bankruptcy Real Estate Is Different
A trustee cannot call any broker and sign a standard listing agreement. (1) The broker must be “disinterested” under 11 U.S.C. §327(a) — no interest adverse to the estate, no disqualifying connection to the debtor or creditors. (2) The commission requires court approval as an administrative expense under §330 — it is not automatically owed at closing. (3) The sale is subject to overbidding during the 21-day notice period — any creditor or third party may submit a higher offer. (4) Dual agency is incompatible with the disinterestedness requirement. OLH represents the estate in every engagement. No exceptions. See: Do I need a special license? — How to vet a bankruptcy broker — All 50 states coverage.

Ryan Brown, Principal Broker & CEO — Own Luxury Homes®
“Trustees call me because the Rule 2014 affidavit is correct the first time. The BPO is delivered in the format the court expects. The §363 motion is supported without the trustee’s attorney having to educate the broker on procedure. I represent the estate. Not the buyer. Not the debtor. The estate. That clarity is why trustees appoint me without hesitation, in any district, on any property type.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bankruptcy specialist realtor?
A bankruptcy specialist realtor is a licensed broker who understands court procedure, operates within the court’s expectations for estate professionals, and maintains strict conflict-of-interest protocols consistent with 11 U.S.C. §327(a). No special state license exists for this role — the qualification is demonstrated through process knowledge, court familiarity, and a clean Rule 2014 conflicts record. Own Luxury Homes® specialists satisfy all three criteria.
Does Own Luxury Homes serve all 50 states for trustee appointments?
Yes. Own Luxury Homes® maintains bankruptcy-specialist realtors in every US market across all 50 states. Federal bankruptcy law is uniform — 11 U.S.C. §327 and §363 apply in the Southern District of New York exactly as they apply in the District of Montana. Local court rules and judge preferences vary; we research every district’s local rules before filing the §327 application.
How quickly can Own Luxury Homes respond to a trustee appointment request?
Rule 2014 affidavit: 48 hours after receiving the creditor matrix and case details. BPO: 5–7 business days for standard residential; 2–3 business days for expedited requests. Engagement confirmation: same day. For time-sensitive situations see emergency expedited appointment.
"The introduction Own Luxury Homes® makes is to a specialist with documented closing history in your specific market — not the county, not the metro, the submarket you're actually selling or buying in. That's the standard we verify before your name goes anywhere."
