Strategic Valuation & Estate Planning

We provide more than a standard CMA. We offer a deep-dive assessment tailored to the unique legal needs of an estate.

​

• Date of Death Valuations: Essential for tax purposes and step-up in basis calculations.

• As-Is vs. Renovated Analysis: A side-by-side net profit comparison showing if minor strategic repairs will significantly increase the heirs' inheritance.

• Fiduciary Protection: We ensure all California-specific probate disclosures are met to protect the Executor or Trustee from future liability.

The Estate Concierge (Total Property Management)

For out-of-state heirs or busy families, we act as your local boots on the ground.

​

• Clean-out & Asset Relocation: Coordination of estate sales, junk removal, or charitable donations.

• Property Preservation: We manage re-keying, landscaping, pool maintenance, and regular security checks for vacant homes.

• Vendor Management: We are the single point of contact for all contractors. Best of all: We can often arrange for vendors to be paid through escrow, meaning zero out-of-pocket costs for the heirs.

Legal & Financial Liaison

We are the "glue" that keeps the transaction moving between the court, the attorney, and the title company.

​

• Attorney Coordination: We provide regular status updates to your legal counsel, ensuring the Notice of Proposed Action and court documents are handled timely.

• Title Resolution: Proactively identifying and clearing "clouds" on the title, such as old tax liens or unrecognized heirs.

• Family Transitions: Resources for re-homing pets or assisting remaining family members with relocation services.
