Probate and trust sales in Oakhill Estates
Help for executors and trustees, including family out of town, from cleanout to closing.
Settling a home in Oakhill Estates
An inherited Oakhill Estates home comes with an HOA. The estate will need the HOA's documents for buyers, and dues continue while the estate is being settled.
I help you request the HOA paperwork early and keep the home presentable for a neighborhood known for well-maintained properties.
You don't have to know how this works
If you're an executor or trustee, you're probably carrying two things at once: grief, and a long list of jobs you never asked for. Often it's an adult child settling a parent's home, sometimes from out of state, sometimes with brothers and sisters who all need a say. The house is full of a lifetime of things, and nobody knows where to start.
You don't need to know how this works. That's my job. What you need is one local person who can be your eyes on the property, keep everyone informed, and make sure the real estate side is ready when your attorney says go.
How I help executors and trustees
I'm your eyes on the house. If you're out of town, I coordinate the cleanout, the estate sale timing, and the trades locally, so you don't have to fly in for every step.
I tell you what the house needs, as a contractor. Inherited homes have often gone years without updates. If you're open to it, my walkthrough gives you a Fix/Skip list, so the estate doesn't spend money it won't get back. You hire any trade you want from my vetted vendor list, and I take no markup or referral fee.
Everyone gets the same information. With several heirs, I keep all of you informed, in writing, so nobody feels left out.
I work alongside your attorney. Probate and trust sales can have extra legal steps, and some need court involvement. Your attorney guides those. I'm not a legal advisor, and I'll always send legal questions back to them.
A price the family can agree on
Families often disagree about what the house is worth. Your EPIC Report helps, because it gives you three prices, each with its tradeoff written out, based on a real walkthrough rather than anyone's memory of the neighborhood. See how the EPIC Report works.
For the belongings, you get my Seller Moving and Decluttering Guide and my directory of local estate liquidation companies. The marketing is the same full plan as any listing, and I check every buyer and their lender before an offer reaches you. Read the full probate and trust plan.
