Claire Kirby – Broker-Salesperson, REALTOR®
Certified Probate Expert | Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES®) | 6th Generation Nevadan
Helping You Navigate Probate, Inheritance, Downsizing & Legacy Home Sales in Northern Nevada
Nevada is more than my home—it’s my heritage. As a sixth-generation Nevadan, I come from a long line of ranchers, pioneers, and public servants who helped shape this region. Today, I live and raise my family in Reno, proudly serving the same communities that have been part of my family's story for over 100 years.
I became a licensed Nevada REALTOR® in 2008—during one of the most difficult housing markets in history. I built my business helping homeowners avoid foreclosure through loan modifications and short sales. From day one, I’ve been drawn to helping people during tough transitions.
Now, I specialize in:
Probate & Inherited Property Sales
Selling Homes After the Death of a Loved One
Senior Downsizing & Trust-Based Transitions
Estate Cleanouts, Repairs & Vendor Coordination
Guidance for Out-of-Area Executors & Trustees
Whether you’re managing a probate case, preparing to sell a family member’s home, or downsizing after decades in one place, I provide compassionate, full-service real estate support—designed to reduce your stress and protect your family’s legacy.
With 17+ years of experience and deep knowledge of the Northern Nevada market, I bring firm yet respectful negotiation skills, modern systems, and a reliable network of attorneys, contractors, estate planners, and more. I’m a Certified Probate Expert, Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES®), and a Nevada-approved real estate educator. I also serve on the Professional Standards Committee for Sierra Nevada REALTORS®.
"Last year, I helped a family from out of state sell their mother’s home in Reno. From securing the home and coordinating a cleanout to handling repairs, pricing, and probate court timelines—I made sure they could focus on what mattered most: their family."

At home, I work alongside my husband Shawn—we’ve been married 18 years and make a great team both in business and in life. We have two amazing kids, two dogs, and we love camping, live music, and creating together. I also have a creative side—I enjoy costuming, makeup design, and I absolutely love turquoise jewelry.
