Modern Southern California home glowing at dusk beneath a mature oak

Every home has a next chapter.

A small Long Beach team at Keller Williams Pacific Estates. One point of contact from the first call to the keys, and a specialty most agents avoid: probate, trust and court-ordered sales.

The team

Meet the Team.

Licensed California real estate professionals. Probate, trust, residential, commercial and property management — one team.

Julio Bonilla

Director of Commercial Sales & Probate Specialist
CA DRE# 01281205

Julio Bonilla is the founder and team lead of The Bonilla Group at Keller Williams Pacific Estates in Long Beach, and the team’s Director of Commercial Sales. He represents personal representatives, trustees, conservators, receivers and heirs selling real property held in probate, trust and conservatorship estates across Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties — and buyers and sellers of residential, multi-unit and commercial property.

Attorneys refer Julio because his files are built for the court and for the accounting: pricing analysis to support the inventory and appraisal, sales under full or limited authority of the Independent Administration of Estates Act (IAEA), Notices of Proposed Action, court-confirmation and overbid procedure, and coordination with the probate referee, title and escrow. Fiduciaries get written updates and documentation they can hand straight to counsel.

His practice is not limited to estates. Julio lists and sells single-family homes, condominiums, apartment buildings, retail, mixed-use and industrial property, guides 1031 exchanges, and — with Jose Escobedo — oversees the team’s property management for owners who keep their buildings. Through Restore to Get More™, the team advances the cost of preparation and targeted renovation so an estate never pays out of pocket.

Anabel Ibarra

Probate Specialist & Liaison
CA DRE# 01976415

Anabel Ibarra is dedicated to helping families navigate the complexities of probate by providing solutions to obtain the best outcome in selling real property.

As the team’s probate liaison, Anabel is the day-to-day connection between the family, their attorney and the escrow: she gathers what the court and the title company will need, coordinates access, occupants and clean-out, and keeps every heir and fiduciary informed at each step, so counsel is never chasing a status update.

Anabel is also a full-service residential agent. She represents sellers and buyers of single-family homes, condominiums and small multi-unit properties throughout Los Angeles and Orange County, bringing the same organization and follow-through to a first home as to a court-supervised sale.

  • Heir & fiduciary communication
  • Attorney & escrow coordination
  • Residential listings
  • Buyer representation

Luz Garcia

Real Estate Agent · Probate Specialist & Liaison
CA DRE# 01322113

Luz Garcia is a real estate agent, probate specialist and liaison at The Bonilla Group, guiding administrators, executors, trustees and heirs through the sale of real property held in probate and trust estates across Los Angeles and Orange County.

Luz works alongside each estate’s attorney to keep the sale on the court’s timeline — preparing the property, coordinating tenants and occupants, organizing disclosures, and making sure every beneficiary understands where the sale stands. Families value her patience; attorneys value that nothing falls through the cracks.

Luz is equally at home in traditional residential real estate: listing and selling single-family homes and condominiums, representing first-time and move-up buyers, and helping families who inherit a home decide whether to keep, rent or sell it.

  • Probate & trust sales
  • Inherited property guidance
  • Tenant & occupant coordination
  • Residential listings
  • Buyer representation

Jose Escobedo

Commercial Agent & Office Administrator
CA DRE# 02225769

Jose Escobedo is a commercial agent and the office administrator of The Bonilla Group. He works with buyers, sellers and owners of commercial and income property — retail, mixed-use and multi-unit buildings — on pricing, marketing and transaction management.

Jose also runs the systems behind every file: documents, disclosures, contingency deadlines, escrow and title coordination, and the updates attorneys and fiduciaries receive. With Julio Bonilla he oversees the team’s property management — rent, repairs, tenant communication and owner statements — for clients who keep their buildings.

  • Commercial & income property
  • Property management
  • Transaction coordination
  • Escrow & title coordination
  • Owner reporting
