History

Established in 2004.

Our specialty is helping heirs get through the process of dealing with a loved one’s estate. If there is a property that needs to be sold, we would like to assist you by making it happen as quickly and painlessly as possible for the heirs.



We focus on selling homes in the area and are familiar with current market values as well as the specialized marketing necessary to sell homes that have not been updated recently or may be in need of some maintenance and repairs. Tamara is an accredited stager and works hard to make homes look their best and ultimately sell for more.

We are also cognizant of the emotional state that heirs sometimes experience when dealing with the sale of a loved one’s home. Using patience and understanding, we help them process emotions that sometimes impact the financial aspects of the sale.



Finally, since many heirs need assistance with packing, estate sales, cleaning, etc. we have a list of trusted vendors that we will refer when needed.
