Probate Real Estate Program
If you are going to be selling the property, the first step is to evaluate and document the options you have available and determine which is truly best for you and the heirs. In most cases, when we talk with people they are not fully aware of all of the options available to them, and/or how to protect themselves throughout the process.
Over 12 Years of Probate Experience
We have specialized in helping families in the same situation. If you go to a book store or search the internet for "Probate," you will find no less than a dozen books and hundreds of search results on probate & trust real estate. Each one of those books and nearly every website focuses on the process of probate, or how buyers and investors can get a STEAL buying probate and trust real estate. There are very few (if any) that provide you with a plan on how the estate can maximize the value of the home and ensure the family walks away with as much money as possible.
Our full-time specialty is devoted to 4 goals:
- Maximizing Value
- Minimizing Upfront Costs
- Minimizing Legal Risk to Trustees, Executors and Administrators
- Streamlining the Process
Pros

- Higher sales price than selling to an investor
- Simple, hands-off experience for you
Cons
- The process takes 1-3 months
- Closing costs are higher than if sold to an investor
- Property must be cleaned out and meet lender requirements

Cash offer in 24 hours and closing in as quickly as 7 days
The offer will be 100% "as-is", with no work needing to be done to the property. This also includes not needing to remove personal property, junk, or any other items that are not wanted. The sale will close within 7 days, and many times only takes 3-5 days.
Multiple cash offers from over 40 investors
Ensuring your home is competitively bid on, closing in as quickly as 14 days. Because we have worked with hundreds of distressed sales over the past 10 years, we have built strong relationships with San Diego's top investors. We can quickly market your property to our database of over 50 qualified investors and have multiple cash offers within days.
Preparing the home for sale and listing it on the MLS
Our traditional listing option. The property needs to be cleared out before the close of escrow and repairs can potentially be needed. During this process, we can assist in preparing the property for sale and getting it market-ready. This can include assisting in clearing out items, cleaning, staging, etc.
Repair to Sell
Complete repairs and updating of the property to sell for top dollar. This option ensures that you are going to sell the property for the highest amount. Homes that have been updated and are considered "Move-In" ready sell for 20-30% more on average (many times more than that).
