Selling Real Estate at the End of Life

Navigating the sale of real estate during emotionally challenging times requires compassionate expertise and strategic planning. As a Santa Rosa Realtor and INELDA-trained end-of-life doula, I provide clients with the professional guidance, market insight, and care needed to ensure a smooth and respectful process.

Successor Trustee Sales

When a loved one passes away, real estate often needs to be sold or transferred by a successor trustee. I work closely with trustees and executors in Santa Rosa, Oakmont Village, and throughout Sonoma County to:

  • Prepare properties for market

  • Handle disclosures and documentation

  • Coordinate with attorneys and financial advisors

  • Market to qualified buyers to achieve the best possible outcome

My background in both residential and commercial property sales ensures your transaction is managed with precision and empathy from start to finish.

Probate Sales

If a property is part of a probate estate, I have the knowledge and experience to guide you through the process. I understand California’s probate timelines, legal requirements, and court-supervised sale procedures. My probate real estate services include:

  • Valuation and pricing strategies for probate properties

  • Coordinating with court-appointed representatives

  • Marketing to attract competitive offers

  • Managing all aspects of the sale through closing

Strategic End-of-Life Real Estate Planning

Planning ahead for the sale or transfer of real estate is one of the most meaningful gifts you can leave for your loved ones. By creating a real estate legacy plan, you can reduce stress, minimize delays, and ensure your wishes are carried out. I help clients:

  • Evaluate current property value and market conditions

  • Explore options for selling, gifting, or transferring property

  • Coordinate with legal and financial professionals

  • Develop a clear action plan tailored to personal and family goals
