Yes, but only with the permission of the Court. The will should be reviewed to see whether this is appropriate.

The court's permission may not be necessary if the Will specifically gives the executor the power to sell the property without license from the court. You need to read the Will carefully before doing anything. If you are uncertain about this, contact an attorney.
