A family home is more than a listing. I treat it that way.
Selling a home you've inherited isn't like a typical sale. There's an estate timeline, an attorney, maybe siblings who all need to agree, and a house full of someone's whole life. I guide families through it patiently and without pressure, and I can manage most of the local work for heirs who live somewhere else entirely.
A probate sale isn't a normal sale
01
Court and executor timelines
Probate has its own schedule, separate from the real estate market. I work around the court's and the estate attorney's timeline, not the other way around, so nothing gets rushed that shouldn't be.
02
Multiple heirs, one decision
When siblings or extended family all have a say, getting everyone comfortable matters as much as getting the price right. I keep communication clear and in writing so nobody's left wondering what's happening.
03
You might not be here
A lot of heirs live out of state. I handle what needs boots on the ground here in Bend, cleanout coordination, contractor access, showings, so you're not flying in for every step.
Patient, clear, and in your corner
I've sold real estate in Bend since 2007, through every kind of market this city has seen, roughly 200 transactions along the way. What I've learned is that a family going through a loss needs someone who slows down, explains each step plainly, and doesn't push a timeline that isn't theirs.
In practice, that means I work directly alongside your estate attorney rather than around them, I'm comfortable being the single point of contact so heirs aren't each fielding separate calls, and I handle the logistics that are hard to manage from out of town: coordinating a cleanout crew, letting in contractors for a quick repair, meeting appraisers, being there for showings. You make the decisions. I handle Bend.

Not sure where to even start?
That's normal. Most families I work with through this don't know the first step either. Let's just talk it through.
