A clear plan for the property.
A personal approach to the people.

Steady guidance through a complex transition.

When a home is part of a probate estate, the real estate work needs to fit the legal process. I work with the authorized estate representative and their attorney to develop a preparation, pricing and marketing plan appropriate to the property and the authority in place.

My role is to make the property decisions easier to understand, keep the agreed work moving and communicate clearly as the sale progresses.

• Initial walkthrough and review of condition, access and market position
• Coordination of inspections and approved preparation work
• Pricing, photography, marketing and a considered showing plan
• Offer review and coordination with counsel, escrow and title

A dependable resource for trustees.

Managing the sale of a trust-owned home can mean balancing property decisions, family expectations and professional advice. I help trustees organize the real estate side of that responsibility, with a practical plan and a clear point of contact.

We begin by understanding your goals and coordinating with your attorney and other advisers on the matters that shape the sale. From there, I help evaluate the home, prepare it for the market and assess the terms of offers.

• A property assessment tied to your objectives
• Preparation options and vendor estimates for your review
• Updates shared with the people you authorize
• Personal involvement from the initial plan through closing

Room for the history.
A plan for what comes next.

A longtime family home often holds personal history as well as financial value. Whether you have inherited a property, are downsizing or are helping a family member move, I begin by listening to what matters to you.

We can explore the home's current market position, the preparation involved in a sale and the tradeoffs between selling in its present condition and making selected improvements. The goal is a decision that reflects your circumstances.

• Guidance for families making decisions together or from a distance
• A thoughtful approach to belongings and access to the home
• Property and pricing discussions informed by local comparable sales
• A timeline developed around the agreed work and your priorities

Make the work manageable.

Some homes need a simple refresh. Others need help with years of belongings, deferred maintenance or a more involved cleanout. I help identify the work to consider and coordinate service providers around an agreed plan.

We review the scope, estimates and priorities before you decide how to proceed. Specialized services are performed by the vendors you engage; my role is real estate guidance and coordination.

• Organizing, removal, donation and cleanout resources
• Inspection scheduling and repair estimates
• Cleaning, landscaping, painting and presentation
• Photography and preparation for showings
