Decades on the Central Coast • Probate & Trust Fluency • Start‑to‑Close Coordination

The Trustee With a Clock Ticking (San Luis Obispo)
Challenge: Out‑of‑state heirs, trust timelines, full clean‑out.
What we did: Coordinated haulers, trust‑compliant bids, early title/prelim review, launch plan matched to fiduciary dates.
Result: 9 days on market, 7 offers, closed 12 days early; trustee received a 7‑day free rent‑back.

“They made a complicated trust sale feel like a standard transaction.”

Relocation Without the Whiplash (Pismo buy ⇄ AG sell)
Challenge: Contingent buy/sell aligned to school calendar.
What we did: Seller‑approved rent‑back, synchronized closings, warmed buyers pre‑launch.
Result: Door‑to‑door move, zero storage days.

“It felt choreographed.”

EXPERTISE

Fiduciary‑safe Processes • Data‑backed Pricing • 1031/ADU/As‑Is Strategy

Pricing That Looked “Too High” — Then Worked (AG cul‑de‑sac)
Challenge: Seller expected a lower number.
What we did: Micro‑comps, buyer psychology, narrative aligned to neighborhood strengths.
Result: Multiple offers; appraisal supported contract price.

“They priced higher than I imagined—then showed me how we’d get there.”

Investor 1031 Under the Gun (Nipomo, reverse 1031)
Challenge: Tight ID window; rent‑back needed; tax deadlines fixed.
What we did: QI engaged early, inspections inside 72 hours, single communication thread lender/QI/title.
Result: Identification window met; basis preserved; rent‑back honored.

“Process discipline saved the exchange.”

Rural/ADU Potential Storytelling (Nipomo acreage)
Challenge: Buyers couldn’t visualize ADU path.
What we did: Permit notes, site sketches, ADU‑savvy lender; copy centered on multi‑gen and rental math.
Result: Record PPSF for the micro‑area.

“They connected vision to numbers.”

AUTHORITATIVENESS

Court‑sensitive Timelines • Offer Structuring • Market‑wide Buyer Network

Court‑Sensitive Sale, Zero Drama (Arroyo Grande)
Challenge: Estate attorney required strict milestones; deferred maintenance.
What we did: Targeted “as‑is” profiles with proof of funds; pre‑negotiated inspection windows to protect court dates.
Result: Above list, non‑contingent, timeline met to the day.

“They protected the process—and our sanity.”

“Don’t List—Launch It” (Morro Bay view lines)
Challenge: Max exposure, minimal time.
What we did: Warmed pre‑qualified buyers statewide; synchronized media/copy around view corridors, Embarcadero access, evening light.
Result: 72‑hour surge; 5 offers; best‑terms contract plus backup.

“Their marketing doesn’t list—it launches.”

TRUSTWORTHINESS

Fiduciary Mindset • Transparent Tradeoffs • Vendor Management That Lifts the Burden

Trustee Downsizing With Donations (SLO → Pismo)
Challenge: Full home of lifetime items; limited trustee capacity.
What we did: Orchestrated donations, shredding, keep/sell/give zones; movers/cleaners scheduled to fiduciary dates.
Result: Seamless close; net higher than expected with minimal on‑site time.

“They took the weight off our shoulders.”

Estate Fix‑or‑Feature? (Cambria cottage)
Challenge: Heirs unsure: remodel or sell as‑is?
What we did: ROI deltas; light refresh + digital staging; narrative sold the setting more than the square footage.
Result: Cash offer, no repairs, two‑week close.

“They knew exactly where effort pays and where it doesn’t.”

“Quiet Power” in Negotiation (SLO craftsman)
Challenge: Multiple offers; sellers valued certainty over theatrics.
What we did: Tight, respectful communication; fact‑based, minimal repair ask.
Result: Won against higher number due to certainty.

“Professionalism won the day.”
