Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village & Agoura Hills
Local knowledge that protects you
The Conejo Valley, including Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village and Agoura Hills, offers family neighborhoods, lake and golf communities, and open-space views along the 101.
It also crosses a county line. Thousand Oaks is in Ventura County, Agoura Hills is in Los Angeles County, and the Westlake area is split between the two. That changes which court handles a probate case and which county rules apply to a sale.
I'm a Certified Probate & Trust Specialist, licensed since 2002. I work with your attorney, CPA and lender, and I lead every step personally. Read more about probate & trust sales or selling a home in a divorce.

Ask Nick02HOAs and lake communities
Many homes are in communities with an HOA and their own rules. I gather the documents early so escrow stays on schedule.
Ask Nick03Separate cities
Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village and Agoura Hills are separate cities, so City of Los Angeles transfer taxes don't apply. I confirm the exact costs for your address.
