Licensed under California DRE #01296519 as a broker and Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES), Carmen Cooley Graham works probate, trust, and senior transitions from a Park Boulevard office in Hillcrest. Equator Certified from her short-sale era, she handles bank-owned files and probate listings that often route through estate counsel at Hoffman & Forde, Attorneys At Law before a property can hit MLS. Beyond residential, she represents commercial investors and first-time buyers across the 92103 corridor, with a sales record in practice since 2000 as owner of San Diego Real Estate Connection. Senior clients downsizing from Mission Hills and Kensington estates coordinate timed escrows with packing crews at Propack Moving Systems so that the close date and the move-out date actually line up. A San Diego native, she also serves as Executive Director and Curator of the JA Cooley Museum, a 10,000-square-foot private historical foundation that informs her eye on mid-century and vintage San Diego housing stock. The most complex files she handles are multi-heir probate sales where a trust sale, court confirmation, and IRC 1031 exchange all need to thread together before escrow can close.
