Why Every Trust Attorney Needs an Agent Like Us: A Story of a Car, a Challenge, and a Happy Client

by Sarah and Brandon Arlington

In the world of trust and probate sales, every case comes with its own unique set of challenges. Some are straightforward real estate transactions. Others? Well, they require a little extra finesse, a strong network, and the ability to handle the unexpected.

Case in point: A recent call from one of our attorney partners about a client who needed help selling their late brother’s home. But before we could even think about listing the property, there was one small problem—his old car, sitting in the garage, gathering dust and taking up space. It didn’t run, the family was across the country, and the attorney simply didn’t have the time or resources to deal with it.

Enter us—Sarah & Brandon Arlington, your go-to trust and probate realtors who always have a solution.

The Car That Wouldn’t Move

Some realtors might have thrown their hands up and told the family, “You’ll need to figure out what to do with the car before we can move forward.” Not us. We saw an opportunity to make life easier for everyone involved.

We reached out to our friend and colleague who owns a mechanic shop and also happens to be a car broker. For a small fee, she not only took care of selling the car but also handled all the paperwork and logistics. We had the vehicle towed to her shop in Santa Ana, where she worked her magic.

The Outcome? A Win for Everyone

✅ The attorney didn’t have to worry about an out-of-scope task. ✅ The family didn’t have to fly across the country to deal with it. ✅ The car was sold quickly and painlessly. ✅ The attorney looked like a rockstar for having the right real estate team in place.

Claudia Chan

Helped me rent a Condo home in Playa del rey, Playa del rey, CA.

My best friend referred me to Sarah when my boyfriend and I were looking to relocate to California from New York City. Sarah is very friendly, responsive, and thoughtful. When we had our initial conversation about looking to rent, she was very transparent about taking the time to research which areas/neighborhoods that we would be interested in before seeing any of the listings. During our visit, she was available to show us some listings and I thought she really asked the right questions. She was also very on top of our requests like reaching out about pet deposit/fees and scheduling showings. She made us feel very taken care of too because we were new to renting and working with an agent. We did eventually find our home to rent with her help and she made sure to read through the rental agreement for any errors or mistakes. It was a smooth process and overall, we were very happy with our experience and highly recommend her!

Helped me rent a Apartment home in Alhambra, CA.

Sarah made apartment hunting so much fun and hassle-free! She was very responsive and supportive throughout the whole process. Sarah provides a wealth of knowledge in terms of comparative leasing comps, negotiating, and overall application progress. Lastly, I never met any other agent that emits as much genuineness and compassion as she. I highly recommend her as an agent for leasing or buying!

Bought a Single Family home in 2022 in East central, Pasadena, CA.

Brandon is so positive, supportive, and responsive to any and all my needs in the entire process of looking and buying a new home. He is extremely patient, knowledgeable about the market and procedures, thoughtful, and made excellent recommendations every step of the way. Honestly, he went above and beyond my expectation! I feel very confident with Brandon. I appreciate that he helped me to analyze what I need together, and find the perfect place for my partner and I.
