Trusted Guidance for Probate and Trust Real Estate

With over 30 years of experience in Southern California real estate and deep roots in South Orange County, I specialize in helping families navigate the sale of property held in a probate or trust with clarity, compassion and care. As a Certified Probate and Trust Specialist, I bring more than just market knowledge – I offer a well-rounded perspective built on decades of hands-on experience in real estate sales, residential appraisal, mortgage review and interior design. This unique background allows me to see a property’s full potential, evaluate it accurately and position it effectively for today’s buyers – all while helping families through life’s most challenging transitions. Every estate is different. That’s why I take a personalized approach, working closely with clients, legal and financial advisors and Coldwell Banker Realty colleagues to ensure a smooth, dignified process from start to finish. When life calls for tough decisions, you deserve a steady guide – someone who understands both real estate and people. I’m here to help.

“Karen made the entire process of selling my home seem surprisingly easy. She brought in the buyer right off the first open house and handled both sides of the deal with professionalism and integrity. Everything – from pricing strategy to negotiations to closing was handled thoughtfully and efficiently. She made it easy to collaborate throughout the process, and I always felt like I was in good hands. She’s sharp, responsive and genuinely enjoyable to work with.”

– Jim C., Home Seller

“Karen stuck with me through a nine-month search for the right condo – and we definitely covered a lot of ground. When the place I really wanted went to another buyer, she didn’t give up. She stayed on it, followed up consistently and ultimately got us back in when the first deal fell through. Her persistence and follow-through made all the difference. I appreciated her professionalism, attention to detail and commitment to getting the job done. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome.”

- Matt L., Condo Buyer

- Mike and Sue B., Home Sellers
