Taylor Greene, CEA, CD · Broker · Royal LePage Estate Realty, Brokerage
My interest in estate real estate began with a personal experience most people never expect to face. When my father’s partner passed away without a will, our family quickly discovered how little we understood about what comes next. Property ownership, probate, legal responsibilities, valuations, family dynamics, and the practical question of what to do with a house full of someone’s life — all of it arrived at once, during an already painful time.
That experience changed how I think about my work. I’ve been a licensed real estate broker since 2008, and over the years I’ve noticed a significant gap in how estate properties are handled. Inherited homes are often treated like ordinary real estate transactions. They’re not. They require a different kind of preparation, a different kind of patience, and a different kind of advice.
I pursued the Certified Executor Advisor (CEA) designation through the Canadian Institute of Certified Executor Advisors because I wanted to understand the full picture — not just the transaction, but the administration process, the legal context, the family dynamics, and the decisions an executor faces before the property ever reaches the market.
What the letters mean
- CEA — Certified Executor Advisor. Professional training in estate administration, probate and the executor’s role (CICEA).
- CD — Canadian Decoration. Awarded for service in the Canadian Armed Forces. The same values — duty, reliability, calm under pressure — guide how I serve families.
- Broker. Licensed since 2008, with Royal LePage Estate Realty, serving Toronto’s east end and the GTA.
How I work
Executors are overwhelmed not because they lack intelligence or care, but because they’ve never done this before and nobody prepared them for it. My job is preparation: clear answers, written valuations, realistic timelines, and a sale run properly — with every beneficiary kept informed.
