Specializing in Probate Real Estate
Where Compassion
Meets Expertise
Cynthia Kenner and Wendy Laven are seasoned real estate professionals dedicated to helping individuals through the probate process. With over 35 years of combined experience, Cynthia and Wendy have assisted thousands of families with their real estate needs.
​
Cynthia, who lost her husband in 2018 after 38 years of marriage, understands the grief and overwhelming experience of going through probate firsthand. This personal loss motivated her to transition from working with bank-owned real estate to supporting families during the difficult period following a loved one's passing.
​
Wendy's journey prior to real estate included owning an assisted care facility, so she too, saw challenges a family encounters after the loss of a loved one. Their personal journey inspires their slogan "Where Compassion Meets Expertise."
Phoenix Probate Specialists
57,478 - that's the number of homes that have sold in the Phoenix metro area in the last 12 months. So, chances are you're acquainted with a real estate agent. Yet, considering that less than 1.6% of these transactions involved probate, it's unlikely that any of the agents you know have navigated a probate sale.
​
If you are serving as the executor or personal representative of an estate, you've probably realized that the probate journey can be lengthy and involved. Selling real estate under probate rules can be equally complicated.
Do you have full authority or only partial authority? Can you set the listing price or is court approval required? Will the estate go through informal, formal or supervised probate? Is it possible to sell the property before the probate process concludes? And what if an heir inherits the property and wishes to assume the loan, but can't qualify - what then?
​
Clearly, dealing with probate real estate involves a complexity beyond that of a standard sale. That's precisely where our specialized probate services come into play, offering you a seamless solution tailored to your needs.

If you are an heir in an estate, you may have questions about inherited real estate or even the probate process in general. We are here to answer your questions and guide you through the process. Are you trying to buy a property from your relative's estate? We can help structure it so you can buy it before the estate settles and even use part of your inheritance as the down payment. Did you inherit a home with a low interest rate loan? Let us show you how to get the lender to allow you to assume the loan without qualifying.
Assisted Care Facilities
In addition to probate sales, Cynthia and Wendy have worked with several assisted care facilities to help their clientele with their real estate needs. This includes both current residents who will not be returning to their home and the families of residents after their death. Cynthia has also worked to find viable conversion opportunities for facilities looking to expand. She has sold three assisted care residences in recent years. Contact us to see how can we help you.
