There are times in life when everything shifts
There are times in life when everything shifts — the loss of a loved one, the decision to simplify, or the need to close a family chapter.
These moments can be emotional and uncertain, especially when they involve a home filled with memories. I have spent years helping families throughout Orange County navigate trust, probate, and transitional home sales with care, patience, and professionalism. Every home tells a story.
My role is to honor that story while helping you move forward with clarity and confidence.
Before any sale begins, it helps to understand the difference between a trust sale and a probate sale. Both types of transactions often involve additional steps — including timelines, court forms, and multiple decision-makers — but with the right guidance, each can be managed with calm and confidence.
Whether you are managing a trust or probate, my role is to protect your family’s best
interests, handle the details, and keep everything moving forward with care and confidence.
Selling a family home is deeply personal. It is not just a property — it represents years of moments, milestones, and meaning.
I approach every situation with compassion and understanding, treating each home as if it were my own. Whether you are sorting through lifelong belongings, coordinating with family members, or simply feeling unsure where to begin, I can help guide you every step of the way.
These are not services I hand off — I stay personally involved to ensure every step is handled with care.

A recent client contacted me...
"A recent client contacted me after her mother passed away in Corona del Mar. Living out of state, she was overwhelmed by the thought of managing the estate from afar. Together, we arranged for a clean-out, coordinated light repairs, and prepared the home for sale. Within weeks, it sold to a family who fell in love with it."
