About Scott Stollar, Inherited & Probate Real Estate Specialist

Certified Trust and Probate Specialist and 1031 Exchange

Where lived experience meets real estate expertise

I lost both of my parents young and stepped into responsibility before I felt ready. That experience shaped how I see inherited homes. They’re never just transactions. They carry memory, emotion, and pressure, often all at once.

Alongside that personal experience, I bring more than a decade of real estate expertise helping families handle inherited homes and complex property decisions. I focus on clarity, execution, and follow-through, so decisions are made well and carried out properly. The work is about protecting outcomes, easing the burden, and helping people move forward with confidence.

We’re not here to just sell your house....

We’re here to stand by your side with compassion and empathy as we empower you to move beyond loss and envision a future that honors your loved one’s legacy while creating a life you would be proud to share with them when you reconnect.

We’re here to help you find a solution that carries you forward, to light the path when it gets challenging and to advocate for you as you step into that the life you are choosing to create

We’re here to meet you at the moment where you needed us and build a relationship that continues forward. We don’t do this to buy or sell the house you inherited. We do this because we know when someone you care about experiences loss, you will insist that they look no where else and receive the same care and support that you found here.

Credentials that matter for an inherited home

An inherited home carries steps a standard sale never does; court timelines, trustee authority, tax decisions that outlast the closing. This is the training and focus behind how I handle it.

Values that shape who I am and how I treat my clients

Clarity over pressure
Pressure can create movement, but not always good decisions. Understanding the full picture leads to decisions that are timely, informed, and easier to live with.
Stewardship over optimization
This work isn’t about squeezing every last dollar at any cost. It’s about handling the home responsibly, protecting value, and making decisions that hold up over time.
Inheritence is about legacy
An inherited home honors the life that came before and the responsibility passed forward. Good decisions respect the past while helping shape the future you’re building.
"Wow, I cannot thank Scott Stollar enough! We were nervous about selling our home but Scott put all our fears to rest. We really needed a calm and knowledgeable presence and he was it! He really knew the area we lived in (Carlsbad) and was able to guide us toward the best time to sell and get the most for our home. With other agents we felt pressure and in the dark about the process. Scott always put us at ease and talked us through every step. He also made it easy for us to do showings and NOT have to keep leaving the house! We received offers in a matter of days and got a much higher price than expected. With so many changes in the market, I still can’t believe how pleasant it was selling our home and it was all because of Scott!"
Kelley Brooks
"Scott is great. We moved out of state and he took care of everything for us. He has a wonderful staff to assist and they are great also. They even sent a notary to us for all documents that needed to be signed. I would not hesitate to recommend Scott and his crew to take care of you. We got full asking price for our listing and he was instrumental in all aspects of the sale."
Kathy Leszinski
"Within a week of meeting Scott Stollar, he found us our dream home. Scott is a true professional and we are so happy with his services. He is a kind, considerate, under-stated and positive person. Scott is an excellent communicator and in today's world, that is a rarity. He is very connected to so many great people who we will be relying on in the future. We cannot recommend Scott more ... he is THE BEST there is! Thank you Scott for everything!"
