Eddy Jalbert

Realtor & Professional Property Manager

Team Compass | RE/MAX Lifestyles Realty

Eddy Jalbert is a dedicated real estate professional and trusted Property Manager specializing in the management, stabilization, and strategic disposition of residential and small commercial properties — particularly those involved in probate and estate proceedings.

He works directly with estate lawyers, notaries, executors, and families to protect and preserve real property assets during sensitive transition periods. Eddy understands that when a property becomes part of an estate, it requires structured oversight, neutral communication, financial transparency, and disciplined coordination while legal matters are being resolved.

His services for estate and probate files include:

• 
  

  Securing and stabilizing vacant or tenanted propertie

• Full-service property management during probate administration



• 
  

  Rent collection, accounting, and reporting appropriate for legal files

  
  


• 
  

  Coordination of maintenance, repairs, and insurance compliance

  
  


• 
  

  Managing tenant matters in accordance with the Residential Tenancy Act

  
  


• 
  

  Preparing properties for sale once court approval or family agreement is obtained

  
  


• 
  

  Overseeing estate clean-outs and contractor supervision

  
  


• 
  

  Providing clear documentation for legal and court review

  
  

Eddy is known for his steady, professional approach in emotionally charged family situations. He maintains neutrality while protecting asset value and ensuring all communication remains structured and documented. Lawyers and notaries rely on him to step in promptly, bring order to the property, and reduce liability exposure while the estate is administered.

Whether the objective is to maintain income-producing property during probate or prepare an inherited asset for market, Eddy provides disciplined management, transparent reporting, and decisive execution.

When real property becomes part of an estate, it should be professionally managed — not left unattended.

I found my groove helping financial advisors help themselves, therefore bettering their own lives plus the lives of their clients, their families, their partners and everyone down that domino chain.

Around here, we focus on behaviours and feelings — learning how to interpret, work and thrive with them.

It took 20 years in the brokerage industry, a masters in counselling and psychology and even a fromager certificate (yes, I love and studied the art of cheese, but don’t ask me to make it!) plus a pandemic to really put my finger on the issue that plagues finance professionals. Your pressures aren’t limited to the market, client goals and brokerage needs. Let’s be honest — life happens. The risks you’re trying to mitigate involve so much more than what your typical CE course addresses. And I’m the kind of person who isn’t afraid of having these weird and difficult conversations (no judgement here!). Which is why, as an educator and mental health professional, I built an entire practice around helping you get through all this funky business.
