Going through probate can slow down the sale of a home due to several reasons:

1. Probate Process Length: The process can vary in duration depending on estate complexity and state laws.

2. Court Approval Requirement: Selling real estate assets often requires court approval, adding an extra step.

3. Property Transfer Delays: Ownership transfer to heirs or beneficiaries may be delayed until probate completion.

4. Title Issues and Liens: Clearing any title issues or liens on the property can take time.

5. Buyer Confidence Impact: Potential buyers may hesitate due to uncertainty, reducing interest and prolonging marketing.

6. Professional Guidance Need: Executors should seek legal and real estate professionals’ assistance to navigate probate efficiently.
