What services do you offer?

I specialize in probate and life-transition property sales in Sarasota and Manatee Counties. My role goes beyond listing a home — I manage the entire process from start to finish, including property valuation based on current market data, coordination with probate attorneys and beneficiaries, vendor management (clean-out, repairs, staging, security), strategic marketing and buyer outreach, and oversight through closing. I also provide support beyond the sale, helping families navigate next steps like move-outs, donations, and transition planning.

How do I get started?

The first step is a simple consultation. We'll review the current stage of probate (if applicable), the condition of the property, your timeline and responsibilities, and any legal or logistical considerations. From there, I'll outline clear next steps so you know exactly what to expect — no pressure, just clarity.

What makes you different?

My approach is structured, time-protective, and highly coordinated. Clients and attorneys choose to work with me because I understand the complexities of probate and estate-related sales, I communicate clearly with all parties involved, I manage the entire process so nothing falls through the cracks, and my pricing and strategy are based on real data, not guesswork. Most importantly, I bring a calm, no-nonsense approach during what is often a very overwhelming time.

How do you contact me?

You can reach me in whichever way is most convenient: phone (941) 544-0475, email dan@pursuithomegroup.com, or by scheduling a consultation directly through the site. If you're unsure where to start, a quick call is often the easiest way to get clarity.

What's it like to work with you?

In 8 years and 26 probate and guardianship transactions, I've learned exactly where these sales go wrong — and I built my process to close those gaps. I understand the complexities of probate and estate-related sales, communicate clearly with all parties, manage the entire process so nothing falls through the cracks, and prioritize efficiency without sacrificing value. I provide real estate expertise only — I don't give legal advice or interpret court orders; that stays with your attorney.
