🏡 JUST SOLD | 1125 W. 99th Street, Los Angeles, CA 🎉
I don't post just to post — so when I share a closing, there's usually a story behind it. This one has several.
This was a probate sale that began during the pandemic, when my child was still in elementary school. He is now in high school. That alone tells you everything about how long and winding this road was.
Here is what this journey involved:
🔹 A sibling occupant who did not want to vacate — requiring eviction proceedings
🔹 Lock changes once the property was finally accessible
🔹 A home in worse condition than anticipated
🔹 An off-market buyer who attempted to renegotiate during escrow, citing condition — despite having had the opportunity to inspect beforehand
We navigated every single one of those hurdles and closed.
For anyone considering a probate listing, here are a few hard-won lessons:
✅ Make sure your probate attorney handles contested matters — not all of them do
✅ Vet the buyer's agent — do they understand probate transactions?
✅ Plan for the unexpected — evictions, cleanouts, and hauling costs add up; keep receipts for reimbursement through the estate
✅ Know your sibling dynamics upfront — it shapes everything
My client is happy, and that is what matters most. 🙏🏾
Huge shoutout to my co-listing partner — this one took a village and you showed up every step of the way. Couldn't have done it without you! 🙌🏾
