About Randy

Certified Residential Appraiser | Licensed Real Estate Broker

Who I Am

I’m a Certified Residential Appraiser (since 2006) and a Licensed Real Estate Broker (since 2017). This dual background gives me a unique ability to guide families and attorneys through estate property decisions with clarity, accuracy, and steadiness.

Most real estate professionals are either appraisers or agents. I’m both — which means I can provide court-defensible valuations and complete listing representation, all from one professional who understands the full picture.

My work is grounded in patience, clear communication, and a commitment to helping families move through a challenging process at a pace that feels right for them.

Why I Focus on Estate Properties

After years in traditional real estate, I noticed the same struggles coming up for executors:

  • conflicting opinions about repairs

  • unclear guidance about value

  • disagreements among beneficiaries

  • rushed decisions without documentation

Executors were expected to make high-stakes decisions with incomplete information — often leading to unnecessary expenses, delays, and conflict.

I built my practice around solving this gap.
By combining appraisal methodology with strategic real estate guidance, I developed a structured process that gives families documented clarity before making decisions.

Executors deserve more than opinions.
They deserve solid data, steady support, and a partner who understands the legal and emotional landscape of probate.

How I Support Executors and Attorneys

I provide a complete, step-by-step approach that helps everyone stay aligned:

1. Documented Strategic Analysis

A clear comparison of all options — repairs, as-is sale, investor sale, or full preparation — including ROI guidance, timelines, and net-proceeds estimates.

2. Repair & Preparation Guidance

Only cost-effective improvements are recommended, based on actual return-on-investment data.

3. Complete Listing Representation

Professional marketing, showing management, negotiation, legal coordination, and full documentation for beneficiaries and attorneys.

4. Transparent Communication

Executors and attorneys stay informed at each stage so nothing falls through the cracks.

This approach eliminates guesswork, reduces stress, and allows families to move forward with confidence.

What You Can Expect Working With Me

Calm, clear explanations of every option

  • Data-driven recommendations — never pressure

  • Documentation you can rely on for court, attorneys, and beneficiaries

  • A single point of contact from initial analysis through closing

  • Respect for your timeline and emotional bandwidth

Estate decisions are too important for rushed opinions or generic advice. My job is to bring clarity, structure, and steadiness to the process.
