Trustee Sale Real Estate Explained: Avoid These $500K Mistakes

Have you been named a trustee and are now responsible for selling a property through a trustee sale? You’re not alone—and you’re in the right place. This video is your complete guide to navigating a trustee sale with confidence, clarity, and legal responsibility.

I’m Nicolai Glazer with Pacific Sotheby’s in Coastal Orange County, and I’ve helped dozens of families through the emotional and complex trustee sale process. Whether it’s a family home, a friend's estate, or part of a larger trust, a trustee sale is not like a traditional home sale. It comes with fiduciary duties, deadlines, and the pressure of getting it right.

✅ What is a trustee sale and how does it work?
✅ The legal responsibilities of trustees in a trustee sale
✅ Why pricing and appraisals matter in every trustee sale
✅ A real $500K mistake made during a recent trustee sale
✅ How to protect the estate and its beneficiaries during a trustee sale

In this video, I break down the entire trustee sale process, step-by-step. From reviewing the trust, confirming authority, managing estate services, setting fair market value, to preparing disclosures and closing—all of it is part of a proper trustee sale.

You’ll also hear a real-world story where a rushed, off-market trustee sale led to a $500,000 loss for the estate. It’s a powerful reminder that a trustee sale must be handled carefully and professionally to honor the legacy of your loved one.

We act as your guide, helping you avoid mistakes, align with your fiduciary duty, and make sure the trustee sale meets all legal and ethical standards. Whether you're just getting started or in the middle of a trustee sale, we’re here to help.
