No. Reading attaches two requirements to every sale: a Certificate of Transfer and, apart from limited exemptions, a health and safety inspection before settlement. Muhlenberg Township requires an inspection and a use and occupancy permit before a new owner or tenant moves in, and its code officer inspects within 15 business days of a complete application. Wyomissing says no resale inspection is required. With 73 municipalities in Berks, each setting its own rules, check with yours before you list.

Usually not. After the Berks County Register of Wills in Reading issues letters, the personal representative has authority to sell real estate unless the will restricts it. The exception is a house the will specifically gives to someone, who then has to sign on to the sale unless the Orphans' Court orders it. The Register's office runs a virtual probate process for new estates, but its clerks can't give legal advice, so bring disputes to an estate attorney.
