WHAT I DO

From the first walkthrough to the final signature

I handle the entire real estate side of settling an estate — and coordinate everything around it — so the executor and attorney don't have to assemble and manage a team of vendors themselves.

CORE SERVICES

Everything the property needs, in one place

Valuation & pricing strategy

A no-cost competitive market analysis and pricing guidance, informed by the home's real condition rather than a guess from the curb. Because the home's value often determines which estate track applies, this number does double duty.

Construction-informed prep

More than twenty years of general contracting experience means I read condition and repair scope at the first walkthrough, not after a costly inspection — so the estate invests only where it raises the sale price.

Full marketing & syndication

Professional photography, a 3D virtual tour, a dedicated single-property website, MLS listing, and syndication to Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, and dozens more.

Vendor coordination

Junk removal, estate sales, cleaning, locksmith and security, contractors — introduced, quoted competitively, scheduled, and overseen from start to finish.

Showings & weekly updates

Scheduled showings, written feedback from showing agents, and weekly written updates to the attorney, executor, and heirs — so nobody has to chase me for status.

Offer review & remote closing

Documented offer evaluation with the estate's interests first, and a closing you can complete from anywhere — built for out-of-town fiduciaries.

A cash-light estate can still show the home at its best

WHAT I COVER FOR THE ESTATE

A few things I take care of, so they aren’t one more bill for the estate:

A complete market analysis At no cost and with no obligation — and it's yours to keep either way.
Professional cleaning before listing Covered up to $500, with no repayment.
Weekly written updates To the attorney, executor, and heirs on marketing and showing activity.
Full vendor coordination Entry, competitive quotes, and scheduling for every cleanout, estate-sale, and contractor partner.

An estate home pulls in a dozen moving parts. Rather than handing the family a list of vendors to manage, I run the sequence — introducing each one, gathering competitive quotes, scheduling access, and keeping the attorney and heirs informed at every step. You approve the decisions. I manage the rest.

One point of contact, every vendor handled

Responsive and self-sufficient Estates move on their own schedule. I don't need hand-holding to keep the property side on track.
I know where my lane ends I'm not an attorney and I don't give legal advice. I handle the real estate and defer to counsel on everything else.
Documented and conflict-free Clear written records throughout, and no dual-agency conflicts.
