How We Act as Project Managers for Trustees
When a loved one passes and a property needs to be sold, the responsibility often falls on the trustee. Managing a home sale during this time can be overwhelming — especially when the property needs repairs, clean-up, or updates before going on the market. That’s where our team steps in.
At Sonoma Estate Services, we don’t just list homes — we manage the entire process from start to finish so trustees can focus on their responsibilities with confidence and peace of mind.
Coordinating Every Step
Our role begins the moment we’re brought on board. We assess the property and create a detailed plan outlining what needs to be done to prepare it for market. From there, we coordinate all necessary vendors — clean-out crews, painters, carpet installers, landscapers, inspectors, and more. Trustees don’t need to make dozens of calls or manage timelines — we handle it all.
Trusted Local Partners
Because we specialize in trust and probate sales, we’ve built strong relationships with local professionals who understand the sensitive nature of estate work. Our trusted network includes attorneys, CPAs, contractors, financial planners, and estate clean-out crews, all vetted for quality and reliability.
Strategic Improvements that Maximize Value
Every dollar matters in a trust sale. We help trustees make smart, high-ROI improvements that attract buyers and drive the best sale price — things like fresh paint in popular colors, new flooring, updated lighting, and digital staging. Our goal is to present the home in its best light without unnecessary expenses.
Transparent Communication
Throughout the process, trustees receive regular updates, photos, and progress reports. Whether the trustee lives locally or out of state, they can rest assured that everything is being handled professionally and efficiently.
A Seamless Transition to Market
Once the home is ready, we handle photography, marketing, showings, and negotiations — ensuring a smooth transition from project management to sale.
If you’ve been named a trustee and need help preparing a home for sale, we’d be honored to guide you through the process.
