A few examples from the many probate, trust and conservatorship sales we have handled. Each one shows the real problem, what we did about it and the result. Neighborhoods are named; the people involved are not.
SELECTED CASES

SOUTH LA · PROBATE · NO INTERIOR ACCESS
Two occupied probate homes were facing foreclosure, with no interior access and an administrator living out of town. We worked directly with the bank to pause foreclosure, marketed both properties using exterior and aerial photography, and generated 16 offers. Both sold to one buyer and closed within ten days of receiving the court order.

WOODLAND HILLS · PROBATE · COURT CONFIRMATION
A home in poor condition, title discrepancies, and a sale requiring court confirmation. We coordinated preparation and security, helped buyers’ agents understand the process, and worked closely with the fiduciary, counsel, and title. Ten written offers led to an accepted offer $52,000 over asking, with the original all-cash terms preserved.

CAMARILLO · TITLE ISSUE
After the homeowner moved out, the successor trustee needed help preparing and selling a Camarillo home. We coordinated clearing, cleaning, marketing, and the documents required by title. When an old loan record complicated the sale, we worked with title and escrow on a holdback arrangement that allowed closing to proceed without seller credits or repairs.

CITY TERRACE · PROBATE · OUT-OF-STATE SELLERS
Two out-of-state co-administrators needed help with an emotionally difficult probate sale. We helped coordinate the occupants’ relocation, prepared the home, and found a buyer through social media marketing. When a break-in caused damage during escrow, we worked with the insurance adjuster and buyers to keep the sale moving through closing.

ENCINO · CONTESTED TRUST
A court-appointed fiduciary needed to sell an Encino home in a rapidly changing market. We emphasized the property’s development potential, sustained the advertising effort, and documented buyer activity and offers. The sale closed all cash, without buyer contingencies, seller credits, or repairs. No objections were raised to the notice of proposed action.

ENCINO · CONDO · TRUST SALE
A professional fiduciary needed a condominium prepared and sold after a tenant moved out. We coordinated clearing, cleaning, virtual staging, and showings within the HOA’s requirements.
