Daniel Taylor | CA DRE# 01889109

As Founder and Broker of The Aventus Group | Compass, Daniel Taylor focuses on the sale and disposition of court-involved and fiduciary-held real estate throughout Los Angeles, Orange, and San Diego Counties — including probate sales, trust sales, conservatorship sales, partition actions, receiverships, and bankruptcy-related transactions.

A Southern California native, Daniel earned degrees in Environmental Science and Business/Economics from UC Santa Barbara, then received his J.D. from Southwestern Law School. He began his career practicing litigation — including real estate litigation — before returning to his family’s three-generation real estate brokerage practice. That combination of legal training and brokerage experience informs a documentation-forward, process-driven approach that fiduciaries and counsel value when timelines, disclosures, and stakeholder dynamics are complex.

Daniel regularly works alongside trust and estate attorneys, professional fiduciaries, trustees, administrators and executors, conservators, partition referees, and receivers to deliver a defensible, market-ready sale process — from valuation and pre-sale planning through marketing, negotiation, and closing. His goal is consistent: maximize value while reducing friction and limiting liability in high-stakes transactions where clarity, communication, and follow-through matter.

Daniel also serves as a consulting and testifying real estate expert witness in trust, probate and real estate dispute cases.
