·         The Referee agreed to sell the real property, subject to court approval.

·         The Referee entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell, all-cash, the Property to Karen and Michael Kadletz, for $565,000.00, on a where-is/as-is basis, with no representations or warranties made by the Referee, with a payment of 2.5% commission to Keller Williams Studio City, and the payment of 2.5% commission to Corcoran Global Living.

·         There were 83 showings of the Property. In early June, 2022, The Seymour Group solicited initial offers. A total of 35 offers were received, which ranged from $456,000.00 to $570,000.00, along with various other terms.

·         The Preliminary Title Report reflects significant liens, and delinquent property tax amounts.

Tentative Ruling

The motion is granted, as prayed.

Judges can order that real property be partitioned by sale by a referee.  E.g., CCP §§ 872.230,  873.710.

The Court finds that the sale efforts, contract terms and sale price, all appear to be appropriate and reasonable.
