Frequently asked questions

What types of home sales do you help with?

I help families sell homes as-is, list traditionally, or navigate probate and trust sales. Every plan is tailored to the family’s goals, timeline, and stress level.

Can you buy the home directly?

Yes. I can either purchase the home myself or bring in trusted investor partners—especially helpful when families need a quick, hassle-free solution.

What if the home needs major repairs or hasn’t been cleaned out?

No problem. You don’t have to clean, fix, or remove anything. I’ll help you sell the home in its current condition—saving you time and energy.

Do you only work in the Bay Area?

I specialize in the San Francisco Bay Area, including Contra Costa, Alameda, Santa Clara, San Mateo, San Francisco, and surrounding counties. I also consult with out-of-area families and can refer trusted partners in other markets.

Do you help families find senior living communities?

Yes—I work closely with vetted placement agents and senior care advisors to ensure the housing solution fits your loved one’s needs.

👪 SECTION 2: Senior Living & Family Transition Support

What’s the difference between the free Discovery Call and the $197 Strategy Session?

The Discovery Call is a free 15-minute chat to see if I can help. The 60-minute Strategy Session includes a detailed plan, vendor referrals, and real estate advice. It’s best for families or fiduciaries who want clear next steps and expert insight.

What happens to the belongings inside the home?

I’ll connect you with trusted professionals to help with cleanouts, donations, storage, and estate organizing—whatever the situation calls for.

We’re not ready to sell yet—can we still talk?

Absolutely. Many families work with me early to create a long-term plan, even if the move is 6–12 months away.

⚖️ SECTION 3: Probate, Trust, and Legal Support

Can we sell a home that’s still in probate?

Yes—but it’s more complex. I help families understand the probate process, legal timelines, and coordinate the sale in compliance with court rules.

What’s the difference between a trust sale and a probate sale?

Yes—I work closely with vetted placement agents and senior care advisors to ensure the housing solution fits your loved one’s needs.

Can you refer us to an elder law attorney or fiduciary?

Yes—I work closely with vetted placement agents and senior care advisors to ensure the housing solution fits your loved one’s needs.

💼 SECTION 4: Paid Consulting & Strategy Sessions

Can you help if we’re outside the Bay Area?

I offer remote strategy sessions for out-of-area families and can connect you with trusted local agents and care partners.

Can the $197 be refunded if we work with you?

Yes! If we complete a real estate transaction within 12 months of your Strategy Session, I’ll refund the fee through escrow or commission credit.

🏘️ SECTION 5: RCFE & Investor Questions

Do you help investors buy or sell RCFEs / board and care homes?

Yes—I specialize in RCFE property acquisition and disposition, especially in the Bay Area. I understand licensing, zoning, and care industry dynamics.

I’m looking to buy my first care home. Can you help me evaluate options?

Absolutely. I offer RCFE strategy sessions to review location, licensing viability, and refer trusted consultants to help you launch or grow your facility.
