The Foundation of Childhood Trust and Decades of Professional Expertise
Our partnership didn’t begin in a boardroom. It began in preschool — back in the days of black-and-white school pictures — and on the quiet neighborhood playgrounds of the community we still call home.
Katie Schulist and Andy Brim have been lifelong friends whose paths have a funny way of circling back together. We didn’t set out to build a company like this. Life built it for us.
Over the years, we walked through the same chapters many families eventually face — marriages, divorces, and blended families, illness, the loss of parents and loved ones, and the emotional complexity of moving someone into assisted living. When we helped our own aging parents navigate downsizing and estate closure, we experienced firsthand the late-night sorting of decades of heirlooms, the weight of closing a parent’s home, and the quiet responsibility of honoring a lifetime of memories.
That experience changed us.
We realized there was a real need for something more than a contractor, more than a real estate agent, and more than an organizer. Families needed steady hands who understood both the logistics and the emotions.
Together, we combine the precision and market knowledge of professional real estate and renovation expertise with the methodical, compassionate care of professional organizing. We are not just preparing houses for sale — we are guiding families through transition with dignity, clarity, and respect.
Blue Horizon Estate Solutions exists because we believe transitions deserve more than efficiency — they deserve empathy, structure, and trusted guidance from people who truly understand.
What the Community Says
Andy and his team were a tremendous help during my parents' downsizing and transition project. From the very start, Andy was incredibly easy to work with, always approachable and ready to offer sound advice on every aspect of the process. His efficiency and organizational skills truly stood out, as he managed to streamline what could have been a very chaotic and stressful situation. His compassion and professionalism made a significant difference, turning a potentially difficult transition into a much smoother and more manageable experience. I sincerely appreciate all the support and guidance Andy provided, and I believe his services will be invaluable to others in similar situations.

I wanted to share our positive experience working with Andy and his team during my mother’s recent downsizing and home renovation. Andy’s compassion and professionalism truly stood out—he took the time to understand our needs, communicated clearly, and made the transition as smooth and stress-free as possible for our family. I felt confident knowing my mother’s home was in capable hands, and we’re grateful for the care and organization Andy brought to every step of the process.
