Held Hostage by a Co-Owner Who Won't Sell?

Stuck in Probate Code You Don't Understand?

Court-ordered sales aren’t about “market strategy”—they’re about following the law precisely

so you get your money without getting sued later.

One Missed Notice Requirement = Your Sale Gets Rejected (And You Start Over)

The Story

When David’s attorney filed for probate confirmation, the judge rejected the sale on day 89.

Why? The agent didn’t know California Probate Code §10300 requires notices to be published 20 days before the hearing.

Three months wasted. Buyer walked. Family furious.

Here’s what happened next: David’s attorney called me. We re-listed using proper probate procedures. Sale confirmed on first hearing. Family finally got their inheritance.

The Problem

Most Real Estate Agents Have Never Read Probate Code §10300-10311

They think probate is just “regular real estate with court approval.”

It’s not.

Miss one notice requirement? Rejected.

File the wrong form at confirmation? Delayed 60+ days.

Don’t understand overbid procedures? Lose your buyer at the hearing.

What I Actually Know

California Probate Code Compliance:

  • Notice requirements (§10300-10309) – exact timing, publication requirements, creditor notices
  • Overbid procedures (§10311) – how to protect your sale at confirmation hearing
  • Court reporting (§10308-10309) – documentation that gets approved on first submission
  • Independent vs. Full Authority – which path saves you 6+ weeks
    Minimum overbid calculations – so you’re not blindsided at the hearing
  • Court confirmation hearing – what judges actually look for in the file

The Difference

Other Agents: “We have probate experience”

Me: “I’ve closed 700+ probate sales. I know Probate Code backward. Zero rejections.

Social Proof

Finally Get Your Money After Years of Being Held Hostage

Your sister inherited half the family home. You inherited the other half.

She won’t sell. She won’t buy you out. She won’t even return your calls.

You’re trapped. You can’t access your equity. You can’t move on with your life.

Maybe it’s:

✔️ An ex-spouse using the property as revenge

✔️ A sibling who “doesn’t want strangers in Mom’s house”

✔️ A business partner who thinks they can wait you out

✔️ A relative who moved in and refuses to leave

You’ve tried reasoning. You’ve tried negotiating. You’ve tried waiting.

They’re not budging. And your money is locked inside that property.

The Solution

That's why partition exists—and that's what I do.

The court forces the sale. They can't block it anymore. You get your check. You're free.

How Partition Works

Step 1: Court Orders the Sale

Your attorney gets a partition judgment. The other party can't stop it. The court appoints me as the listing agent or works with the referee.

Step 2: I Maximize Your Share

I don't price it to "make everyone happy." I price it to get YOU the most money. You've waited long enough.

Step 3: You Get Your Check

At closing, you receive your portion. Finally. After years of being held prisoner.

Step 4: You Never Have to Talk to Them Again

Done. Over. You can move on with your life.

The Numbers

200+ Partition Sales Close

Average Time in Court Purgatory Before Calling Me: 3.7 Years

Average Sale Price: 103% of Market Value (even under court supervision)
