Probate, trust sales, and inherited-home situations are most of the practice now. The work is mostly listening, then doing the math, then explaining what the math shows.
A quiet moment on the work — calm, focused, documentary.
“I’d rather you understand your options than hire me. If those two things end up being the same, that’s a good day.”
I’ve been a licensed Realtor in California for over a decade. Early on, the work was the usual mix — first homes, simultaneous moves, investment properties. Over time, more of it became inherited homes and family situations where the calendar wasn’t the seller’s to control.
Today my experience spans probate sales, trust sales, and representing out-of-state heirs who need someone to be their eyes and signature coordinator on the ground in Southern California. Roughly 200+ transactions across Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties.
Most of my clients are dealing with three things at once — grief, paperwork, and family. A real-estate transaction in that context is not a transaction. It’s a coordination problem with twelve moving parts and one person trying to hold them all together while also being sad.
The right Realtor takes a few of those parts off the table. The wrong one adds three. My job is the first.
Member of the California Association of Realtors and the National Association of Realtors. Continuing education in probate, trust administration, and Proposition 19 property-tax implications. Familiar with all four county probate courts and their local rules.
Calm. Knowledgeable. Honest. Patient. Responsive. They’re not the words I’d pick for myself — but they’re the ones that keep coming back in reviews, so they’ve earned a spot here.
No urgency theater. The market is not a reason to make a bad decision today.
Probate code, county-specific rules, overbid math — I’ve seen these before.
If the math says don’t sell yet, I’ll say don’t sell yet. Even if it costs me the listing.
Probate moves on the court’s timeline, not yours. We’ll wait it out together.
If you call during business hours and I can’t pick up, I’ll call back the same day.
Named in a will, appointed by the court, navigating Letters Testamentary and the inventory.
No will left behind. Appointed under Probate Code §8461. Usually a surviving spouse or adult child.
The trust has named you. You have authority to sell. The decisions are real, but the process is faster than probate.
You don’t live in Southern California. The home is sitting empty. I can be your eyes, hands, and signature coordinator.
