We usually see the rolls of broker and referee as separate people, but I've been playing the roll and warring both hats for 13 years. I think there's a benefit to the owners in that I charge a flat fee of 1% as the referee and 2.5% as the listing broker. If my roll has to take on duties above and beyond I will typically charge $175 an hour. For example, if I have to be at the property while the owner moves things out of the house, I will charge an hourly rate on top of my fee.
All partition actions are different, for many reasons! Doing my best to work with the defendant to cooperate and get things done smoothly is my goal. Things don't always go to plan. Some people simply don't want to recognize the Superior Court of California and ignore court orders. I've had to evict and lock people out before; however, that's after repeated efforts to get cooperation.
As an experienced partition referee and real estate broker, you get the best of both worlds when I'm involved. I've been doing partition action referee sales for 12-13 years. If you are an owner who has questions about the process or you're an attorney looking to recommend a referee to the court, give me call. The area I primarily work in doing partition sales is in Placer, Sacramento, El Dorado Counties. With that said, I've done several in Solano and Yolo as well.
