Honoring Legacies & Respecting Family Members

Kevin McClenahan – Realtor and his support team at HomeSmart Realty West intend to reach the highest and best level of communication and action for the delivery of trust fund, Probate, conservatorship, and various other life services in Real Estate within San Diego County, Orange County and the bordering Southern California Counties.

Above all, our objective is to work with you, your family members, attorney, fiduciary, and various other trusted service providers to honor the legacy of your loved one and safeguard the relationships of those they leave behind. It’s my goal to help the heirs get the highest price in the shortest timeframe, reduce stress and give the family time to grieve.

As the executor for the Estate, you’ll complete many tasks under the supervision of the Probate Court.  Typically, the largest and most important job will be selling the home. When preparing to sell the house, there are many important factors to take into consideration:

Is the house empty of personal property? 

If not, you’ll want to get the Court’s permission to distribute items as per the Will.  Typically, specific provisions are made in the Will regarding personal property, we can help you liquidate any personal as well as real property.

Are the utilities still on?

Experience shows, it’s much easier to sell the property if the utilities are turned on.  The property will most likely be vacant. Avoid plumbing leaks by turning the water onto the property but shutting it off right before it enters the house.  In the event of a leak, the house won’t be damaged while it is vacant.

Do you have someone who can maintain the yard while the house is still in the Estate before the new owner takes possession? 

If you’re not able to handle these details, I can refer you to a local service provider that can arrange for lawn care, do weekly inspections, or minor repairs as needed.

What benefit will you get from a Certified Trust and Probate Realtor like me?

Many San Diego personal representatives and San Diego administrators cannot live near the San Diego probate home.

As San Diego probate real estate experts, my team and I will negotiate offers for you to get the highest price possible. We think of the Estate’s money as our own, so when it comes to bringing you the best deal possible on your escrow property, we are on hand to do all that we can to reduce stress and ensure things get done right.

Once we have found an offer for your approval, my team will open escrow with your attorney and move forward with the sale of the property. Once permissioned by the Court to sell the property, it typically it takes about 30 days on the market for acceptable offers to come in. If the home is listed at the correct price, often, we’ll see offers within the week.  

There will be bargain hunters. We’ll be on guard for them and have a plan already discussed and set in place so that you can expect to get the best price, in the timeframe you need, with the least amount of stress.

Most real estate properties are sold in their “as is condition” with no repairs. Occasionally making a few minor repairs results in a property selling for a much higher price in a shorter period. Suppose you’re unsure whether to sell the house “as is” or with repairs. In that case, I’d be happy to visit the property, perform a quick visual inspection, and give you my professional opinion. This service comes free of charge or obligation.

If I can assist you with preparing the house for sale, please give me a call on my direct line Kevin McClenahan – Realtor, at 858.284.7778. You’ll have questions. I’m happy to meet you or your representative at the property, where we can discuss your questions and give you a service providers directory.
