Probate, Trusts & Foreclosure
I work with Nest Seekers from Hoboken, serving families and fiduciaries across Hudson County — and nearby Bergen County when a respectful as-is path is needed. My practice centers on probate, trust, inherited-property, and pre-foreclosure sales — situations where listening matters as much as market knowledge.
I handle Hudson County estate sales with care, documentation, and a steady timeline.
Before focusing deeply on this niche, my career began in 1998. At Norwest Mortgage, a Wells Fargo company, I handled all of the company's listed homes statewide. Every buyer for those listings was pre-approved through me personally. I'm not a lender today. I earned my MBA in Finance from Fairleigh Dickinson University while working full-time at Norwest Mortgage, a Wells Fargo company. That background helps when estates face liens, payoff questions, lender timelines, or a foreclosure clock — I’ve sat on the bank side of distressed properties, so I speak both languages. I’m a problem-solver by nature: if a cleanout, access plan, or as-is pricing strategy will reduce stress for the family, we’ll talk through it plainly. For a plain-language look at pre-approval, monthly payments, and a payoff when a family sells, read the mortgage guide or try the payment calculator.
I have also invested in and developed real estate here in New Jersey and internationally in Ecuador. That hands-on investor and developer experience — local and cross-border — helps when families need someone who understands both the Hudson County market and the realities of building, holding, and exiting property.
The work is referral-driven. It still comes back to treating the next family with the same care as the last. I stay involved in the local community.
You won’t find a wall of trophies here. What I offer is reliability — returning calls, coordinating with counsel, and treating every inherited or distressed home as someone’s story, not just an address.
A selected list of closed sales — Hudson County and New Jersey, sorted by sale price — is published on this site so families and counsel can see the work, not just the bio.
Markets I serve
Hoboken, Jersey City, Bayonne, Union City, North Bergen, West New York, Weehawken, Secaucus, Kearny, and neighboring Hudson County communities — plus nearby Bergen County for pre-foreclosure and sheriff-sale situations. If your property is nearby, reach out — I’ll tell you honestly if I’m the right fit.

A warm introduction is enough
If you know a family, colleague, or client facing probate, a trust, pre-foreclosure, or a tough Hudson County property sale, I'd be honored by an introduction. Referrals are the core of my business — I'll take it from there with care, confidentiality, and no pressure.
