Guidance for Executors, Families, and Attorney Teams

Settling an estate comes with responsibility, emotion, and a long list of decisions. You don’t need to navigate that alone. I help families and attorney teams understand the property, clarify the best next steps, and move through the process with steady, compassionate support.

How I Help:

• Accurate valuation backed by 20+ years as a Certified Residential Appraiser
• Defensible pricing & documentation for probate and legal requirements
• Clear recommendations on repairs, staging, and preparation that genuinely matter
• Full-service listing and coordination from photography to closing
• Contractor, clean-out, and attorney referrals when needed
• Weekly updates and consistent communication so no one has to chase information

What Attorneys Appreciate:

• Reliable market valuations for court filings
• A trusted partner who protects their client's interests
• Timely communication and transparent documentation
• Professional coordination so they can stay focused on legal work

My goal is simple: protect the estate’s value, reduce stress for the family, and make each step feel more manageable.

No pressure. No urgency. Just the best next step.

  • “Randy guided us through selling a relative’s estate with compassion and clear advice. He connected us with a contractor and attorney, making the process seamless and far less stressful. He went above and beyond—truly more than a realtor, a trusted friend. Highly recommended.”

    Jay and Jill Athey- Bolingbrook

  • I trusted Randy from the first time that I met with him. His way of presenting his sales strategy and his knowledge of the market made me feel very confident. If I have another property to sell, I would trust Randy to sell it.

    Alan Uli - Woodridge

  • Randy helped us sell my fathers home after he passed away. Because I live in a different state it was more complicated. Randy was attentive through the entire process and went above and beyond to help us sell the property. I would highly recommend him to others.

    Sherrie Barrett - West Chicago

  • Randy is phenomenal, from start to finish. Extremely knowledgeable and dedicated. Excellent follow-up and attention to detail. Enthusiasticly recommend!

    John Kay - Palatine

  • Randy did a great job! The house had a contract in 2 days for 15k over asking!

    Jeff Luczynski - Elmhurst

  • Randy is an excellent Realtor. I highly recommend him. I've used him twice. And been very happy both times.

    Rachael K - Geneva & Batavia

  • Randy was super! Very kind and considerate! Always available when we contacted him.
