This off-market sale in Whittier, CA is a reminder that not every home sale fits into a traditional box.
This home belonged to a longtime neighbor who recently passed away. His brother needed help navigating a probate sale, and to make things more complicated, the property was in default due to a reverse mortgage. The home needed a full overhaul and appeared largely untouched since the 1960s — selling it the traditional way simply wasn’t an option.
I stepped in, created a clear plan, and went straight to work. I connected with multiple real estate investors, walked them through the property, and secured a strong all-cash buyer who could move quickly, purchase the home as-is, and even cover the seller’s closing costs.
The result:
We stopped the foreclosure, closed the probate sale smoothly, and gave the family one less thing to worry about during a very difficult time.
This is the kind of situation many people don’t realize a local real estate advisor can help with — off-market homes, probate properties, distressed sales, and complex circumstances. I’m right here in the neighborhood and always happy to help.
