Why would I need an Estate Sale?

Helping a Client Downsize with Ease

When one of our clients decided to downsize and move into a retirement community, we managed the entire process from start to finish. First, we organized and ran a full estate sale, followed by a complete cleanout and several donation drop-offs to ensure nothing went to waste.

The property also needed some updates before hitting the market. With our client’s approval, we coordinated minor repairs, including drywall, flooring, electrical, and plumbing work. By handling every detail, we prepared the home to show at its best—saving our client the stress of juggling multiple contractors and companies.

Guiding Clients Through a Difficult Transition

These clients came to us through a referral while navigating a difficult divorce. Each had different wants and needs, which meant we had to act as both mediator and project manager throughout the process.

We carefully worked with both parties to sort belongings—deciding what to donate, what to sell, and what to move—while preparing the home for market. Once the property was listed, we continued balancing the husband’s and wife’s expectations alongside the buyer’s requests. Ultimately, we managed what became a three-way negotiation, ensuring all parties reached a successful outcome.

 Preventing Foreclosure While Managing a Cross-Country Move

One client was preparing to relocate to Los Angeles while facing the possibility of foreclosure. With most of the communication handled remotely, Sam and her team took charge of the entire process.

We organized the sale and cleanout of the property, coordinated directly with the client by phone, and—with their approval—hired trusted contractors to make necessary repairs. By managing every detail locally, we positioned the home to sell quickly and helped the client avoid foreclosure, giving them peace of mind during a major life transition.

Supporting a Family After an Unexpected Loss

A client referred to us after his mother passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind a home filled with belongings. He needed guidance and support during a very difficult time, and our team stepped in to handle everything from start to finish.

We sorted, sold, and donated items, then cleared the property completely. With his approval, we coordinated contractors to update the home with fresh paint, new flooring, and staging to maximize its value on the market. We even connected him with trusted probate attorneys to help with the legal process.

This entire transaction took place over the holidays, a time when the burden could have felt overwhelming. Instead, our client had peace of mind knowing we were managing every detail with care and professionalism.

Managing an Out-of-State Estate with Care

When clients flew in from out of state to settle their brother’s estate after his sudden passing, they quickly realized the home was nearly a hoarder situation. After taking the items they wished to keep, they entrusted the rest to our team.

We handled everything: sorting, selling, donating, and clearing out the property. With the clients’ approval, we coordinated a full refresh—landscaping the front and back yards, installing new flooring, and painting inside and out. By the time the home went on the market, it was completely transformed.

The clients were thrilled with the results—especially knowing they didn’t need to make multiple trips or take additional time off work. With Sam and her team, the process was seamless, stress-free, and maximized the home’s value.

Navigating Loss During a Challenging Time

A client reached out after their mother passed away, needing help with the overwhelming task of sorting belongings, donating items, cleaning out the property, and selling the home.

This took place during the early months of COVID, when estate sales and real estate transactions were far more complicated than usual. Despite the challenges and extended timelines, our team managed the entire process with care. We organized the sale and donation of belongings prior to closing and prepared the home for market.

The result: multiple offers over asking price and a successful sale, giving the client peace of mind during a very difficult period.

Absolutely I would recommend Samantha! She helped me with the purchase of my first home back in May! Had such a great experience with her, she thoroughly explained each step of the home buying process where I felt confident that I was making the right decision for me. And I am totally in love with my home! She's a joy to work with! She will go above and beyond for you!

Her ability is matched by her tenacity to close the deal and sell your house. For me, she was there every day, phone call, stressful text, she worked. I would greatly recommend choosing her to help you buy or sell your home. At the sale of my home, she helped remodel and stage my house giving guidance. Thank you so much for everything Sam! 

- Kalani

Samantha was really great and helped me get more money than I was expecting. She was super friendly and easy to work with. We actually never met, she was referred to me and everything was done over the phone. She also cleared the house out, sold items we didn't want and put carpet and paint before it sold. I highly recommend her!

I had a great experience with Samantha. She helped me purchase a house quickly during a difficult time for buyers in California. Samantha was extremely knowledgeable and professional throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend using her for your real estate needs!

- Vanessa

Sam helped my brother and I sell my mom's house. After we took what we wanted to keep she did an estate sale and sold the house for us. It was a tough time, but she really went above and beyond helping us through this challenging process. We highly recommend her.

- Bruce

Samantha was referred to us by a close friend and came highly recommended. She was consistent, professional and we were able to sell our home above asking price. She was thrown a curve ball with using my relocation company and was able to make it all work. Thank you, Samantha, you do great work, and it shows!
