Rob The Realtor, Century 21 Epic, CADRE #01463352 REALTOR® at CENTURY 21 Epic | Rohnert Park | CA | DRE #01463352 I moved from Australia to Lake County in 1989, when I was only 8 years old.

I grew up in Kelseyville, where I graduated from Kelseyville High School in 1999. I attained a bachelor's degree in business administration from Saint Mary's College in Moraga in 2003. After graduating from college, I moved back to Lake County, started my real estate career in 2005, and have been helping my clients buy and sell homes ever since. My wife Jennifer grew up in Sonoma County, and we have two young children, Ava and Dominic. I chose to work for Century 21 Epic because they have offices in both Sonoma and Lake counties, enabling me to serve my clients better. The Century 21 Epic team is close-knit and very supportive of its Realtors. I served as a board member of the Lake County Association of Realtors for three terms and as a member of the LCAOR Scholarship Committee. I stay involved in my community, having coached high school football, track, and youth basketball when they needed volunteer coaches. I have also proudly provided Thanksgiving dinners to families in need throughout Lake County for the past 12 years and helped provide close to 500 meals. I enjoy the outdoors and spend my free time camping and scuba diving at the coast. I am an avid spear fisherman and look forward to exploring the underwater world further in the future. I feel very fortunate to have grown up, lived in such a beautiful place, and given back to the community that has given me so much.

Facing an heir who objects to selling estate property? As executor, you have authority, but understanding beneficiary needs is key. Get objective information on property value, repair costs, and potential buyouts to navigate these tough family dynamics.

Zillow says the inherited home is worth $800,000—but is that what it would actually sell for?
If you're an executor or estate administrator handling an inherited property in Sonoma County, an online estimate can be a useful starting point—but it doesn't necessarily tell you what the property would sell for in today's market.
Probate and inherited homes can be especially difficult to value because condition matters. A home that hasn't been updated in 20 or 30 years may have deferred maintenance, an older kitchen or bathrooms, landscaping issues, or other factors an automated valuation may not fully account for.
When evaluating probate real estate in Sonoma County, I look at recent comparable sales, current competition, location, property condition and improvements to help answer two important questions:
What could the property potentially sell for as-is?
And...
What might it sell for after strategic improvements—and would those improvements actually provide a worthwhile return to the estate?

What do you do with a lifetime of belongings after someone you love passes away?
For many executors, this can be one of the most emotional and overwhelming parts of handling an estate.
Before throwing things away or ordering a cleanout, make sure important documents, valuables, heirlooms and other estate property have been properly identified.
Then you can develop a plan for what comes next—family belongings, estate sales, donations, storage, hauling and eventually preparing the home for its next chapter.
And you don't necessarily have to coordinate everything yourself.

Should you fix up an inherited home before selling—or sell it as-is?
If you're an executor or administrator handling a probate property, don't automatically assume you need to spend thousands of dollars remodeling the house before putting it on the market.
The better question is: Which option is likely to produce the best net result for the estate?
That means comparing the home's potential as-is value with its potential improved value, then considering the cost of repairs, time involved, carrying costs and potential return on the estate's investment.
Sometimes renovations make sense. Sometimes selling as-is makes sense. And sometimes a few strategic improvements are the better middle ground.

Do you have to sell an inherited house during probate in California?
If you’ve been appointed as the executor, administrator, or personal representative of an estate, you may be wondering what you’re supposed to do with the deceased person’s home.
Selling the property is not necessarily your only option.
Depending on the estate and your particular circumstances, options may include:
• Keeping the inherited property
• Renting the home
• Having one heir buy out the other beneficiaries
• Transferring the property when appropriate
• Selling the probate property and distributing the proceeds
Before deciding what to do with estate real estate, consider the property’s value, mortgages and other debts, ongoing expenses, insurance, taxes, the estate’s available cash, and what the beneficiaries want to accomplish.
Your authority as executor or administrator, the estate plan, California probate requirements, and court orders may also affect your options. A probate attorney can help you determine what is appropriate for your particular estate.

What should an executor do with a house during probate in California?
If you’ve been appointed executor or personal representative of an estate that includes a home, one of your first priorities should be protecting the property.
Before cleaning out the house, making repairs, or preparing it for sale, make sure the home is secure and properly insured.
If the property is vacant or unoccupied, contact the insurance company and let them know. Ask whether the existing homeowners insurance will continue to provide appropriate coverage and whether a vacancy endorsement or different policy is needed. Don’t assume the existing policy automatically provides the coverage the estate needs.
You should also identify any mortgages, liens, or other loans secured by the property—including a reverse mortgage. If there is a reverse mortgage, contact the loan servicer promptly to understand the loan, documentation requirements, and any deadlines that may apply.
Other important first steps can include:
• Securing the home and changing access when appropriate
• Keeping necessary utilities operating
• Documenting the condition of the property
• Documenting personal property and belongings inside
• Identifying mortgages, liens, and a possible reverse mortgage
• Confirming appropriate insurance coverage for a vacant or unoccupied property
• Speaking with the estate’s probate attorney before making major decisions
You don’t need to make every decision immediately. The priority is to protect the estate and understand what you’re dealing with before deciding whether to keep, rent, transfer, or sell the property.

Just appointed estate executor with a house involved? Don't rush cleaning, repairs, or sale. Your first priority: protect the property. Ensure it's secure, notify the insurance company about occupancy status, and confirm coverage. You need the right policy before any losses occur.

Ever wondered about the big wooden piece above doors and windows? That's a header or lintel. It's crucial for distributing weight, especially where there are no studs, transferring load to supporting studs. This is the fundamental structure for building openings.
