Sell My Silicon Valley Home

If you've been in your home for twenty or thirty years, selling it is a big financial decision, but it's also an emotional one. Maybe you're ready to downsize, or you're selling a parent's home, or a trust or probate sale has landed on your plate. You might be sitting on a house full of memories and belongings with no idea where to start. I've spent more than two decades helping families through exactly these situations, and I hold the SRES and CSA designations because this work calls for more than the usual real estate playbook.

Do I have to fix up the house before selling?
Not necessarily. Some homes sell best as-is, and others earn back far more than the cost of a few targeted updates. We'll decide together using real numbers.

What happens to everything inside the house?
I can connect you with trusted estate sale companies, senior move managers, donation pickup and cleanout crews, so you don't have to figure that part out alone.

We're selling a parent's home and the family is spread out. Can you help?
Yes, all the time. I'm used to keeping several family members informed, and a lot of the process can be handled remotely.

What about taxes, trusts or probate?
I work closely with CPAs, estate attorneys and trust officers and will coordinate with yours, or introduce you to good ones, so the sale lines up with the legal and tax side.

How long does it take?
It depends on the house and your goals. You'll get a detailed timeline as part of your plan, built around the date you need to be moved and closed.
