Selling a Late Mother's San Miguel Home Through a Trust

Front of 8835 Kennedy Lane, a single-story green home with a covered porch and white picket fence in San Miguel, CA

Preparing a Family Home on Kennedy Lane for Sale

After her mother passed away, Michelle Brown, as executor and trustee of her late mother's trust, needed to sell the family home at 8835 Kennedy Lane in San Miguel. The single-family home has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 1,218 square feet, and was built in 1979.

Selling a family home after a parent's passing can be emotional and stressful, as Michelle describes in her review. The home also needed work before it went on the market. Michelle's mother had used only the fireplace for heat, the septic system needed repair, and there was deferred maintenance.

Getting the Home Ready

Karlie helped Michelle facilitate the work needed to prepare the home for sale:

Throughout the process, Karlie kept Michelle informed and answered her questions.

In Michelle's Words

“Karlie did an amazing job helping sell my mother's house. From the beginning, she was professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate throughout the entire process. Selling a family home can be emotional and stressful, but Karlie made everything so much easier by keeping me informed, answering my questions, and guiding me every step of the way. Her attention to detail, excellent communication, and dedication helped ensure a smooth and successful sale. I always felt that she had my best interests in mind and truly cared about achieving the best possible outcome. I am incredibly grateful for all of Karlies hard work and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She exceeded my expectations, and I couldn't have asked for a better real estate agent.”
