You are navigating a loss. You don't have to manage the property alone.
If you've been appointed executor or administrator of an estate in LA County, you're likely carrying a heavy administrative burden alongside your grief — paperwork piling up, court timelines unclear, and your family looking to you for answers.
I'm Aurora Trevino, a Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist serving all of Los Angeles County. I help local and out-of-state heirs protect the estate's value, coordinate the logistics, and navigate the home sale with absolute transparency, so you can focus on what matters most.

Settle the estate without spending a dollar out of pocket.
Most inherited homes in Los Angeles County have decades of deferred maintenance, but standard estates are often cash-poor. You shouldn't have to front thousands of your own dollars for cleanouts, landscaping, or minor repairs just to get the home ready for market.
Through the Concierge Pay-at-Close Network, I bring in a vetted team of local LA County contractors and cleanout specialists to handle the heavy lifting. Every service is billed directly through escrow and paid at closing — you and your siblings never write an upfront check.
Sorting a lifetime of memories is a marathon. Let me take the physical burden.
Walking into a parent's home filled with belongings can trigger real grief. You have nothing to be embarrassed about — I see cluttered or outdated homes every day, and it's incredibly common.
I protect your family's legacy and reduce friction with a structured sorting method:
Keepsakes
True sentimental items are identified and secured first, before anything else is touched.
Assets
Sellable items are routed to trusted estate liquidators to bring cash back to the estate.
Donations
Usable items go to local charities — honoring your family's memory rather than a landfill.
Haul & Clean
The remaining items are cleared out and the home is deep-cleaned, ready to show.
Open-Market Exposure vs. Cash-Investor Lowballs: The As-Is Alternative
You might be tempted to sell quickly to a "we buy houses" cash buyer just to make the problem go away. In mid-tier LA County neighborhoods, however, selling directly to an investor typically means leaving real equity on the table — money that rightfully belongs to the heirs.
I specialize in the As-Is Alternative: light strategic prep — decluttering, deep-cleaning, and odor removal — combined with an open-market listing, priced and positioned to attract real buyers instead of lowball offers. This uncovers standard buyers willing to pay full value, helps protect you from California's strict transfer-disclosure liabilities, and delivers a fair, transparent result every heir can stand behind.
Request an As-Is Equity & Net Sheet Assessment A clear, line-item projection of what the estate will net — shared transparently with all heirs at once.LA County probate courts are busier than ever. Let's keep your transaction on the Fast Track.
I work in seamless alignment with your probate attorney to help protect you from personal liability, steering your transaction through the Independent Administration of Estates Act (IAEA) "Fast Track" whenever possible — list and sell normally, issue a Notice of Proposed Action, clear a short objection window, and close without a courtroom appearance.
Where the "Slow Track" (limited authority or a sibling objection) applies, I handle the courtroom overbidding process and confirmation hearing with full compliance, minimizing friction at every step.
Absolute sibling neutrality. No sidebars. Total transparency.
Being the executor often means being caught in the middle of family friction. I run a strict radical-transparency protocol: every market analysis, net sheet, and contract update goes to every heir at the same time.
If value is ever a point of dispute, I anchor the strategy to an independent probate appraisal, so family members look at concrete facts, not each other. Out-of-state heirs fully participate through virtual walkthroughs, 3D tours, and secure digital signatures.
A listing specialist who chose to focus entirely on probate.
Aurora Trevino has been a California-licensed real estate professional since 2002 and a broker since 2007. Today, as a Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist with 4H Tres Comas Realty (DRE #01338241), she works with executors, administrators, and heirs across all 88 cities of Los Angeles County — from the San Fernando Valley to the Gateway Cities. Her clients are rarely investors or seasoned sellers; more often, they're the person their family called "the responsible one," someone already managing a full-time job and a family of their own who now also has to sell inherited property they never expected to be handling. At her core, Aurora is a listing specialist — someone whose focus is getting a home priced right, positioned right, and marketed to the buyers most likely to pay full value — and that same discipline is what she brings to every probate sale.
