Choices Probate Services

Hi, I’m Belinda Reese

Belinda, raised with her brother in the northeast neighborhood of Deanwood in Washington, DC was greatly inspired by her dad, a carpenter and real estate investor who used his skills to buy, rehab, and hold properties as rentals in the DC metropolitan area.  This impressed upon her that a plan, focus, and persistence is paramount to success.

As a young adult, she obtained an advanced degree in Biology and pursued a career as a Biologist in several research labs and later as a Health Science Administrator in the Federal Government. During her 20+ years of federal service she worked cooperatively with diverse individuals from around the world, developed persistence in working through difficult problems and situations, and established professionalism and accountability.

Reflecting on her father’s legacy in real estate, in 2009 she became a licensed Realtor in Maryland.

Over the years, Belinda has gained experience working with real estate buyers and sellers in various life transitions situations.  She is experienced in short sales, pre-foreclosures, investor criteria for purchase, creative financing and purchasing techniques, and estate sales with a specific emphasis on helping Executors dealing with real estate going through the probate process. She recognized that truly helping home sellers with a fiduciary responsibility for managing the estate of a deceased loved one required an additional level of training.  She further developed expertise in this area through completion of probate specialist certification through which she gained a deeper understanding of the probate process, the timelines, and other requirements associated with real property going through the probate process.   Through her interactions with numerous families dealing with real estate going through probate, she has become a trusted advisor and probate real estate consultant.  As such she assists Personal Representatives or Executors of an estate identify and weigh various options concerning inheritance real estate.

Belinda understood that this particular niche would benefit from a broad range of services and she, determined to deliver more comprehensive support to her clients, developed a network of professional service providers to more effectively meet the needs of this special clientele. Currently, she also serves as a resource for attorneys with clients that need to liquidate probate real estate in order to pay off debt and settle the estate. She enjoys working in this niche because it calls upon a broad range of her real estate skills  –working with buyers, sellers, investors, and various vendors.

Belinda has 2 adult sons and still lives in Maryland with her husband and two dogs, Blu and Jayda. In her downtime she enjoys quiet activities–reading, looking at documentaries and nature programs, and spending time with family.
