Estate and probate

From cluttered to closed.

One person, every step. When a family home passes through an estate, someone has to handle the belongings, the repairs, the court timeline and the sale. DB takes the property side from the first walk-through to the final closing, so executors, heirs and attorneys don't have to figure it out alone.

How DB handles an estate property

From the first walk-through to the closing, DB represents the property: a plan for the belongings, then the listing, offers and sale, including court-confirmed probate sales. For the clean-out, repairs and staging, DB refers you to honest, skilled tradespeople he has relied on for years, even in his own home. DB works alongside the estate attorney, who handles the legal side.

After

West Hollywood

A trust sale. The living room as the estate left it, and the day the house went on the market. The kitchen and bath were redesigned, licensed trades did the work, and the house was staged for the buyer who would pay the most. Sold 7.7% over asking.

Inglewood

A probate sale that drew three rounds of offers and closed 6% above its original list price.

What the owner said

An estate attorney introduced DB to an out-of-state heir whose inherited West Hollywood home had become a disaster zone from major neglect. DB designed and handled the rehab, then listed and sold it.

"I had the good fortune to have DB there to help me get a handyman special property in top salable condition in a short time period. Not only did he do a terrific job getting the property in shape but he also listed and sold it for a great price. He is a top notch REALTOR® and one I wholeheartedly recommend."

Inherited a home in West Hollywood

"I worked with DB when I moved to Pacific Palisades. He advocated for me and was a huge help in the final negotiations. He is laid back, professional, and super experienced. He also knows so much about houses!"

Cathy C.
Buyer, Pacific Palisades

"DB did a great job understanding what I was looking for, working aggressively without being pushy. I'd happily work with him again!"
