Estate & fiduciary real estate, King and Snohomish counties
The property has to sell. The cash to prepare it usually isn't there yet.
Most estates hold real property but little liquid cash. A valuation you can get anywhere, at no charge. The money to make the asset market-ready (cleanout, paint, the repairs a buyer will price against) is the part almost no one will front. I do.
No interest. No markup. No fee.
You repay exactly what was spent, at closing.
Pre-listing costs are advanced by Eastside Business Pro, Inc., up to $25,000 per property, subject to scope and equity approval. Construction, trade, and permitted work is performed by registered, bonded contractors under contract with the estate. Routine cleanout, grounds, and maintenance are performed by insured vendors.
It starts with a free Estate Property Report
A written report on the estate's real property: two broker price opinions, disclosure and county requirements, recorded items, preparation scope, and a sequenced path to closing. No cost, and no obligation to list.
Attorneys & Fiduciaries
Probate and trust counsel, elder-law attorneys, and professional guardians. Valuation, disclosure discipline, capital, and disposition, structured to take the real-property line item off your desk and lower your exposure at closing.

Serving as personal representative or trustee for a loved one's estate? Start here for a plainer walk-through.
I am an heir or PROperating discipline, under institutional audit
Before this practice, my work was the disposition of bank- and government-owned property for HUD, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Bank of America, and Washington Federal, selected as a HUD Local Listing Broker for Washington State and approved by Fannie Mae.
Institutional sellers don't take a broker's word for anything. Every valuation reviewed, every timeline fixed, every action documented. That's the standard an estate file has to meet.
You deal with me from the first call through closing. Behind that is a team carrying coordination, vendors, showings, and status reporting.
Seller experiences
Justin's knowledge base reaches far beyond what is required to be licensed as a realtor. He understands real estate law, he understands the lending industry, and the regulations that govern it.
Seller
Seattle
I live out of state, so the process was stressful and my property required quite a bit of repair. Justin held my hand throughout.
Steve H.
Seller, Kirkland
He's great at counseling against decisions that would injure me as a client.

Two paths to the same deadline
Washington's estate tax return is due nine months after the date of death. A personal representative with nonintervention powers can move immediately; a conservator must clear notice and court authorization first, which is why authority, not price, is often the first thing to settle.
The Form 17 mistake that surfaces at closing
A personal representative selling a decedent's home is exempt from Washington's Seller Disclosure Statement, Form 17, under RCW 64.06.010(6). A successor trustee of a living trust is not, and must complete it. Assuming the trust sale carries the same exemption is the most common and most expensive error I see in estate sales.
