San Diego House Heroes

For San Diego probate & estate counsel

What should the estate do with the house?

We prepare a complimentary Estate Property Options Report for probate and estate attorneys in San Diego — a client-ready, one-page analysis of what a property is worth and what each path actually nets the estate: selling as-is, listing, or a light renovation first.

The report

What it covers

  1. 01

    Value range

    Current as-is value and after-light-renovation value, with stated confidence. Honest ranges — not precision theater.

  2. 02

    Net proceeds, three ways

    As-is cash sale, list as-is, or light renovation then list — each with the estimated net to the estate, its timeline, and the effort involved, with carrying costs subtracted over each path’s own clock.

  3. 03

    Carrying costs

    The monthly burn — taxes, insurance, utilities — while the property waits on decisions.

  4. 04

    Probate-aware timeline

    Full authority under IAEA versus court confirmation, and what the difference does to each option.

  5. 05

    Risks & watchouts

    Condition flags, occupancy questions, title items, and a note on Prop 19 reassessment where it applies.

How it works

One address. No case details.

  1. 1.

    Send an address

    Plus a rough 1–5 condition score if you know it. No case numbers, no client information.

  2. 2.

    We run the analysis

    The same valuation work we do before buying with our own capital — recent comparable sales, repair scoping, carrying costs, timelines.

  3. 3.

    Forward it on

    A clean one-pager arrives by email, written so you can hand it directly to the personal representative.

Who prepares it

A principal, not a broker

San Diego House Heroes buys and renovates San Diego homes with its own capital. We don’t list property, we don’t broker, and we don’t take or pay referral fees. The report is the analysis we’d run for ourselves, formatted for your client file.

If one of the paths it lays out is a direct sale, we may make an offer. The report is just as clear when listing nets the estate more — that’s the point of it.

Net-proceeds comparison

  1. 1.

    As-is direct sale

    $954,425 net estimate; usually fastest; lowest estate effort; subject to Brock review and title/condition confirmation.

  2. 2.

    List as-is

    $1,328,021 net estimate after estimated selling costs and about 3 months of carrying costs; higher market exposure, with buyer repair negotiation risk.

  3. 3.

    Light renovation + list

    $1,316,355 net estimate after estimated selling costs, repairs, and about 5 months of carrying costs; highest possible upside if the estate can manage time and repair decisions.

Repair range

$115,150 – $140,000

Carrying-cost burn rate

$900 – $1,800 per month, placeholder until taxes, insurance, utilities, and occupancy are verified.

Probate-aware timeline

Full authority under IAEA is usually faster. Court confirmation can add roughly 6–10 weeks.

Risks / watchouts

No interior photos reviewed — condition is based on the submitted score and public records.

Comparable-sale condition was not visually verified for every comp; use the values as directional until manual review.

Prop 19 note

Inherited-property tax reassessment may affect holding and sale decisions; verify with counsel/CPA for the specific estate.

Happy to walk through the options on a 10-minute call: book time with Brock.

P.S. If useful, we can also turn around a preliminary title report on an estate property within 48 hours — just ask.

Not an appraisal, not legal or tax advice, and not a purchase offer. Based on public records plus the submitted condition estimate.
