About Kevin
REALTOR®
Mortgage Loan Originator
Seniors Real Estate Specialist®
Certified Probate Specialist
I help older adult homeowners and their families make smarter decisions about their homes and mortgages, including sales through probate, trusts, and inherited property.
Real estate has been my focus for over a decade. I began my career in commercial real estate finance at a national bank, managing and restructuring $500M+ in distressed properties and working alongside attorneys, receivers, and courts through complex workouts, mediations, and arbitrations. I hold a Real Estate Finance concentration from USC's Marshall School of Business.
Today I bring that same institutional-level discipline to individual homeowners, pairing careful financial analysis with the kind of patient, plain-English guidance you deserve when the decision is personal, not corporate. And because I'm also a licensed loan originator, I can help families explore every option, from selling to keeping the home through an heir buyout or refinance.
My goal is simple: give you honest guidance so you can move forward with confidence.
A Clear Path Through Complex Decisions
Real Estate Decisions Aren't Just Transactions — They're Life Transitions
Selling a longtime home, settling a probate estate, or deciding whether to stay, downsize, or access equity — these are some of the biggest financial decisions a homeowner will make, often during an already difficult time. I bring real estate and mortgage expertise together to help you move forward with clarity, not pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Probate & Inherited Property
-
No. There's no requirement to sell right away. Many families take time to sort through the estate, coordinate with everyone involved, and decide what makes sense. I'm happy to answer questions early on, even if you're not ready to make a decision yet.
-
This comes up often, and it's okay if everyone isn't on the same page yet. I can walk through the full range of options with everyone involved — selling, one sibling buying out the others, or holding onto the property — so decisions are based on clear information rather than pressure.
-
This varies by situation, and it's one of the first things we'll sort out together. When repairs or cleanout are needed, I coordinate vetted contractors and manage the process for you, and we'll talk through how costs are typically handled before any work begins.
Reverse Mortgages & Accessing Equity
-
Yes. You keep the title and ownership of your home with a reverse mortgage — it works like a loan against your equity, not a sale. You remain responsible for property taxes, insurance, and upkeep, the same as with any mortgage.
-
In most cases, yes. Your heirs can keep the home by repaying the loan balance — often through selling or refinancing — or they can choose to sell it and keep any remaining equity. The home doesn't automatically go to the lender.
-
Yes — HECM reverse mortgages generally require you to be at least 62. There are also private (proprietary) reverse mortgage options with different requirements. I'm happy to walk through what you may qualify for.
-
It depends on your goals. A HELOC offers flexibility to draw funds as needed, while a home equity loan provides a fixed amount with a fixed payment structure. Neither typically affects your existing first mortgage.
Downsizing & Selling
-
There's no single right answer — it depends on your goals, finances, and what feels manageable day to day. I'm glad to talk through your situation with no pressure, even if you're just exploring the idea and not ready to decide.
-
Yes. I coordinate both sides of the process so you're not managing two transactions on your own, and we can time things so you're not left without a place to live in between.
