Our uncle with a multimillion-dollar estate passed away. He died intestate which complicated the process for our large extended family. It was in these very difficult times that we were very glad to have known Heather Lange.
She was truly instrumental in pointing us in the right direction. Heather was able to provide a significant amount of information very quickly upon contacting her. She did an excellent job in the initial evaluation of the properties within the probate estate: researching the properties and providing initial values.
She was able to refer us to an attorney to best advise and protect our family interests in dealing with diverse extended family and beneficiaries. This in turn, enabled us to connect with a Professional Fiduciary to administer the estate. Her talent for quickly finding the information and resources we needed was very impressive.
Because of the complexities of this estate and the multi-family beneficiary issues, the election of realtor(s) was not a simple process, but we wanted Heather to represent us for at least one of the properties that needed to be sold. This was not a roadblock for Heather. She worked extremely hard to provide the necessary information to our fiduciary. She answered all the questions from the family members--she was smart, efficient and relentless.
In the sale of the property, she was able to negotiate top dollar and close quickly (brought home to market within 1 week and obtained 4 offers with top negotiated offer coming in at $2.2ML and closing in 2 days). Heather stayed connected and consistently followed up during each phase of the property sale and overall probate process.
Not only did she stay informative and communicative throughout the sale, she was also able to advise and help manage the project efficiently--this was especially helpful when dealing with extended family members and beneficiaries when we were not always in agreement. Heather was meticulous and clear whenever communication was required to appease the probate process, beneficiaries and attorneys involved. She is highly trustworthy in honoring privacy, confidentiality, and was sensitive to the difficult job of selling a home in probate. For the property she sold, Heather ensured a smooth process while obtaining the best terms, highest price and most committed buyer for the property.
She is indeed a rare find. Thank you so much Heather!
