Northern California Probate & Trust Experts

What is Probate?

In general, a Probate occurs when a homeowner dies without a trust and by default leaves a home to an heir. This means (in many cases) that an estate attorney or representative may need to help family members sell the property. Heirs of an estate find themselves at the beginning of what can be a long probate process.

Losing a loved one is devastating and moving forward can at times almost seem emotionally impossible. Having a Realtor with probate experience that specializes in the area will benefit you and ensure you get the most out of it.

What we Provide

We’ll generate the highest sales price for the estate while supporting the heirs and all parties involved at every step of the way. We both graduated at Sacramento State with bachelor’s degrees and actively manage our own rental properties in Sacramento. Working with us means that you’ll receive the most thorough and professional representation as possible.


Real Estate is the biggest component of the estate’s assets. Depending upon your desired outcome and goals you should know that you have options in real estate. The basic and straight forward approach is to list with a local realtor.

You may also find yourself with real estate that needs some work and could therefore fetch a greater price after some repairs. If you do not have the cash for the repairs, but ample time on your hands, there are people we can refer you to that will gladly partner with you on the repairs. They can front the estate cash to complete repairs that can be repaid at the close of escrow. Finally, if you are in a rush, don’t have cash to fix up the real estate and just want to get done with it; an investor will pay cash for it. Knowing your options gives you flexibility which gives you power in your decision.
