The Problem We Solve

Estate property stalls cases. We remove that obstacle.

  • Families paralyzed by the condition of the home and don't know where to start
  • Beneficiaries disagreeing on whether to renovate, sell as-is, or take cash
  • Agents who don't understand probate procedure or IAEA requirements
  • Renovation vendors who need coordination your office doesn't have time for
  • Properties sitting vacant, losing value while the case drags on
  • Clients leaving money on the table because no one managed the property preparation
  • Court-confirmation sales botched by agents who haven't completed one before

One referral. Fully managed.

When you refer a property to Renovate My Probate, we handle everything: the assessment, the cleanout, the renovation, the listing, and the close. We coordinate directly with the family or trustee, report back to your office, and keep the transaction moving without pulling you into property-level decisions.

We document every cost, every communication, and every decision. Your file is complete. Your client is protected. And the estate gets maximum net proceeds.

No interest, ever.

All renovation costs are fronted by us and reimbursed at closing. No points, no fees, nothing out of pocket before the sale.
The Referral Process

What happens after you send us a property.

01

You refer the property

A quick call or email is all it takes. Share the address and the situation. We take it from there and follow up with the family or trustee within one business day.

02

We assess and present options

We visit the property within 48 hours, assess condition, and present a written breakdown of all three paths: Renovate & List, List As-Is, and Quick Cash Close — with projected net for each.

03

We execute and close

Once a path is chosen, we manage everything: cleanout, renovation, listing, negotiations, and close. You receive status updates at each milestone. We coordinate with escrow and deliver full closing documentation to your office.

Common Questions

What attorneys ask before referring a case.

How much does it cost the estate to work with Renovate My Probate?

Nothing upfront. We front all renovation, cleanout, and preparation costs ourselves and are reimbursed only from sale proceeds at closing — no interest, no fees, no cost to the estate before the sale.

How quickly do you respond after a referral?

We follow up with the family or trustee within one business day of your referral and complete a full property assessment within 48 hours.

What if the beneficiaries disagree on whether to renovate or sell as-is?

We present three clearly documented paths — Renovate & List, List As-Is, and Quick Cash Close — each with a projected net proceeds figure, so the family and your office can decide with real numbers. We stay neutral with all beneficiaries throughout.

Are you familiar with probate and trust procedure?

Yes. We regularly work with IAEA authority, court confirmation, overbid procedures, and Letters Testamentary, and are a C.A.R. Certified Probate & Trust Specialist.

Who manages the renovation and contractors?

We do, start to finish — cleanout, repairs, renovation, staging, and listing — so your office and the trustee are never coordinating contractors directly.

What documentation do we receive for the file?

Written property assessments, repair bids, before-and-after documentation, status updates at every milestone, and a complete closing package delivered to your office.

Are you licensed for both real estate and construction?

Yes. CA DRE #01862975 for real estate and CSLB #1148252 as a Class B General Contractor — licensed, bonded, and insured for both the real estate transaction and the construction work.

How do I refer a property?

A quick call or email with the property address and situation is all we need. Call (909) 610-5470 or reach us through the contact form, and we'll follow up within one business day.
