Estate lawyers & personal representatives
Homes sold through probate, often with beneficiaries who need to see the numbers and executors who live out of province.

For lawyers, mediators & advisors
When your client's file includes a house
Estates, separations, tenancies, and sales that have to happen by a date. I work alongside the professionals already advising the client — handling the property properly so the rest of the file can move.
Who I work with
Family lawyers & mediators
A neutral process for separating clients: one valuation, identical updates to both parties, and nothing said to one that isn’t said to the other.
Separation guide →Property managers & landlords’ advisors
Tenanted sales planned around the Residential Tenancies Act — marketed to investors when the tenant should stay, with showings the tenant can live with.
Tenanted sales guide →Accountants, planners & mortgage brokers
Clients who need a realistic number before they decide — downsizing, restructuring, or a sale that has to happen by a date.

01
You stay in charge of the legal side
I take direction from you on anything legal — consents, notices, conditions tied to a grant or an order — and I’ll say so when a question belongs with you rather than me.
02
Confidential by default
Nothing about your client’s circumstances goes into the marketing. Buyers learn what they need to know about the property and nothing about the family.
03
A written, comparable-sales evaluation
Value is the most common argument in these files. I put the evidence in writing so your client — and where relevant, the other side or the beneficiaries — can see how the number was reached.
04
Updates at the moments that matter
With your client’s consent, you hear from me when the listing goes live, when offers arrive, when conditions come off, and when the contract goes to the lawyer handling the transfer.
05
Neutral when there are two sides
In separations, both parties get the same information at the same time, in writing. I don’t carry messages about anything but the property.
06
Local help for out-of-town clients
For executors or owners who live elsewhere, I can be their person on the ground in Calgary: keys, access for trades, photo and video updates, and virtual walkthroughs.

Introducing a client
The simplest way is a short call or email with the client's permission to contact them, and anything you'd like me to know first — timing, sensitivities, who else is involved. I'll confirm when I've spoken with them, and keep you posted from there.
I'm a REALTOR® and a real estate associate licensed in Alberta with Standard Realty Co.. I don't give legal, tax or accounting advice, and I work within the scope of the service agreement signed with the client.
