Navigating Probate, Inheritance & Downsizing in Gilbert AZ | Real Estate Made Simple

Are you handling a loved one’s estate, preparing to downsize, or managing an inherited home in the East Valley? These transitions can feel overwhelming—emotionally and financially. Between court filings, family decisions, and the need for quick answers, you deserve more than generic advice—you deserve a local expert who understands both the process and the people behind it.

Kim Carlson, Realtor with Keller Williams Integrity First Realty and a Certified Probate & Transition Specialist, helps families, heirs, and investors throughout Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler, and Queen Creek navigate life’s biggest real estate changes with compassion, clarity, and proven results.


⚖️ Simplifying Probate, Inheritance & Downsizing

Probate and estate sales have unique challenges: court timelines, valuation rules, and complex coordination between heirs and attorneys. One missed deadline or pricing mistake can reduce your return or delay closing.

Downsizing, on the other hand, is emotional—it’s about letting go of memories while preparing for a new chapter. Kim’s role is to handle the details so you can focus on what matters most.

For investors, Kim identifies undervalued probate properties and off-market opportunities across the East Valley that deliver true ROI.


💼 Kim’s Proven Process

  • Probate & Inheritance Sales: Manage appraisals, coordinate with attorneys, and market strategically to attract qualified buyers fast.

  • Downsizing & Relocation: From “as-is” listings to trusted moving and estate-sale partners, every step is coordinated for peace of mind.

  • Investor Services: Gain early access to probate leads and motivated sellers, backed by expert analysis and negotiation.

  • Trusted Network: Title, legal, inspection, and contractor partners ensure seamless service from start to close.
