You Inherited the House. We'll Help You Figure Out What's Next.
“Whether you want to sell, rent, or keep it in the family — let's find the path that actually works for everyone.”
Inheriting a home comes with a lot more than paperwork — coordinating with siblings, understanding what you owe, and deciding what to do with a property that may carry a lifetime of memories. We help Bay Area heirs sort through it all and move forward with confidence.

What Families Are Saying
“My siblings and I couldn't agree on anything until Marc sat down with all of us and laid out the options. It made everything so much easier.”
“We live in Texas and inherited our mom's house in Concord. Marc handled everything remotely — we barely had to do a thing.”
“Selling as-is saved us months of stress. We didn't have to clean out 30 years of belongings ourselves.”
“Compassionate and incredibly patient with our family during a hard time.”
What to Know Before You Sell an Inherited Home
How you can sell often depends on how the property was titled — held in a living trust, joint tenancy, passed through probate, or transferred by a transfer-on-death deed. Each path has a different process, and getting it right matters before you list.
Before selling, it helps to know:
We're not attorneys or accountants, but we've been through this enough times to help you ask the right questions — and bring in the right professionals when you need them.
How We Help You Move Forward
Understand the Title
We help confirm how the property passed to you and what that means for selling.
Get the Family Aligned
If there are multiple heirs, we help facilitate a conversation everyone can live with.
Review Your Options
Sell as-is, list traditionally, rent it out, or renovate first — we lay out the real trade-offs.
Handle the Details
From cleanouts to repairs to paperwork, we manage what we can so you don't have to.
Market or Sell
We list, market and negotiate — or make a cash offer if speed matters most.
Close & Distribute
We coordinate with escrow and, if needed, the estate's attorney through closing.
Every inherited property is a little different — we'll give you a realistic plan once we understand your situation.
