PROBATE AND TRUST HELP

My brother died in February and I was appointed his successor trustee. Not having a clue how to proceed, I scoured Youtube for videos on Trusts and Probate. That’s where I found Kim and Ashlie. Their videos were clear and succinct, and gave me great confidence in their knowledge of Trusts (especially in regards to Real Estate). I sent an email and they responded almost immediately. We met shortly thereafter. At that meeting, Kim and Ashlie explained in great detail the services they were offering (including having a team of licensed professionals to help with repairs, etc. This was crucial, as I, and my brothers’ heirs, live outside of California). I hired them, and they hit the ground running. Kim and her team quickly got the house inshape and on the market. We also got several offers and chose the best. Escrow closed in 21 days! I am super grateful that I found them and that they made prepping and selling the house for me such a seamless process. I 100% recommend Kim and Horizon Real Estate.

When I was unexpectedly faced with dealing with a family member's estate and probate I knew I would need a Realtor experienced in handling probate properties. I was immediately inundated with annoying phone calls and mailings from Realtor's soliciting my business. Kim Ward's office had mailed a very informative booklet with information regarding preparing a property for sale. They did not call/solicit my business, just sent this free mailer that really impressed me which I read from cover to cover. I began my research for a prospective Realtor and narrowed it down to two. Kim Ward was one of the two. At the same time my probate attorney offered to send me the names of a few Realtors he had worked with in the past if I had not found anyone on my own. I accepted his offer and was happy to see Kim Ward was on his list so that settled it for me. Kim and her staff were easy to work with throughout the process. They communicated regularly and responded to all calls and/or texts very quickly, They worked very hard to sell the property, which was a challenge because of the age requirement to live in this particular condominium complex. I also appreciated Kim's knowledge of the probate laws re listing and sale, none of which I would have known otherwise. Her advice and knowledge were very much appreciated and I would not hesitate to work with them again.
