Moving house is never easy, but when you’ve spent decades in the same home, the idea of downsizing can feel completely overwhelming. I’ve seen so many families right here in Sacramento and El Dorado County feel that weight, and I want you to know you don’t have to carry it alone.

I’ve just shared a new Senior Relocation Guide on the blog to help break down the process into five manageable steps:

1. Early Planning & Goal Setting
2. Sorting & Decluttering with Heart
3. Professional Home Preparation
4. Strategic Real Estate Marketing
5. A Smooth, Stress-Free Transition

My goal is to be your single point of contact, taking care of the logistics so you can focus on the memories and the next chapter. If you’re starting to think about a move: for yourself or a loved one: let’s chat. My consultations are always FREE, and since I'm local, I’m always happy to stop by and help you map out a plan.

Inheriting a home shouldn't feel like a second full-time job. Unless you’ve always dreamed of moonlighting as a professional declutterer, repair coordinator, and real estate negotiator while navigating a legal maze, it’s probably time to call in some backup.

You’ve already got enough on your plate. Why add "Property Manager" to your list of daily duties? At Lock, Stock, and Barrel, we specialize in taking that weight off your shoulders. We’re your one-stop-shop for turning "overwhelming" into "over and done with."

From clearing out the clutter and re-conditioning the home to look its best, to handling the final sale, we manage every single logistic. We act as your single point of contact so you can focus on what actually matters.

Curious if you can even sell before probate officially ends? The short answer is yes... but there are a few details you’ll want to get right first.

Check out our latest blog post for the full scoop: https://matthew-phelan.wrspg.com/blog/405/Can+You+Sell+an+Inherited+House+Before+Probate+Ends+(The+Short+Answer+is+Yes%2C+But...)

So, you’ve inherited a house and you’re wondering: “Can I just sell this thing already, or am I stuck in legal limbo for the next two years?”

The short answer is: Yes, you can!

Navigating probate can feel like you're drowning in legal red tape, but you don't actually have to wait for the entire process to wrap up before you list the property. Whether you're looking to settle an estate or just move forward, there are ways to get that house sold sooner than you might think.

That’s where we come in. At Lock, Stock, and Barrel, we offer a One-Stop-Shop solution for families in transition. From assessing and pricing to coordinating repairs and managing the final sale, we handle the heavy lifting. We act as your single point of contact, making the process time-efficient, professional, and: most importantly: profitable.

Think of me as your official "Headache-Handler."

Navigating a parent’s estate is heavy enough without a mile-long to-do list. At Lock, Stock, and Barrel, I project-manage the entire transition so you don’t have to lift a finger (except to sign the papers).

Our 3-step process maximizes your inheritance and peace of mind:

1. Assessment of Possessions: We help sort, sell, or donate a lifetime of items.
2. Property Re-conditioning: I coordinate vetted vendors for repairs and landscaping to boost market value.
3. Real Estate Transaction: We handle the listing, marketing, and closing.

I deal with the contractors and the clutter while you focus on your family. Ready to see why a "refresh" is the key to a better sale?

Buyers judge a book by its cover: and they judge a house by its "project smell."

Selling your parents' home "as-is" might seem like the path of least resistance, but it’s often a fast track to leaving serious money on the table. Most buyers aren't looking for a weekend warrior project; they’re looking for a move-in ready sanctuary. When a house looks like work, buyers start subtracting zeros from their offer.

At Lock, Stock, and Barrel, we’re here to protect your family’s equity. Our 3-step process: Assessment, Refresh, and Transaction: takes the weight off your shoulders. We coordinate with vetted vendors to handle the updates that actually matter, ensuring you get the highest possible return without the personal burnout.

Don’t let a "fixer-upper" label slash your inheritance. Check out our latest blog to see why a strategic refresh is the smartest move you can make for your family's future.
