Santino - Cattaneo Real Estate Specialist

“Several years ago I found myself in an unexpected position. Three relatives passed away in a relatively short period of time and left estates with property that needed to be sold. I saw for myself the challenges of navigating the probate and trust processes and the comfort I could bring to those dealing with loss while managing the complexity of settling estates. Since that time I have sought to assist others in similar situations by specializing in probate and trust real estate. I would be honored to assist and guide you through the process.”

60 Years of Family History (and quite a bit of stuff)

“Santino got us $350K over asking. Being the executor for my grandparents’ estate was a daunting task, however Santino helped me every step of the way. He was my rock throughout the process. From preparing the home for sale to researching pricing and strategy, to evaluating offers, negotiating, to resolving issues during escrow Santino was a patient listener, a tireless advocate, creative, and diplomatic. I’ve worked with him twice, both out of area sales, and wouldn’t work with anyone else.”
