The Reiner family would be required to disclose what happened to Rob and Michele if they tried to sell their $14 million Brentwood mansion anytime soon, which could make it challenging — but not impossible — to find a potential buyer.

Real estate advisor Corbin Scott, who has no affiliation with a potential sale of the Reiner residence, exclusively told Page Six that the family “could absolutely” sell the property where the Hollywood couple was allegedly murdered by their son Nick, 33, last year, though California law might complicate the process.

law → have → process
“California, I believe, has a certain time frame where any death must be disclosed to the potential new buyer,” Scott told Page Six.

Scott → believe → buyer
“Every state has different rules and the family would just need to follow California’s specific laws.”

family → have → laws
Under California Civil Code Section 1710.2, a property owner must disclose an occupant’s death, or the manner of death, if it occurs within three years of a prospective buyer’s offer.

“For the Reiner house, it might be a tougher sell since the occupants were murdered, but the murderer wasn’t random,” Scott said.

“Most families sell because they don’t want this giant reminder of what happened to their loved ones,” he continued.

The Reiners purchased the six-bedroom, six-bathroom, 5,245-square-foot Brentwood home, which has an estimated $14 million value, from legendary producer and television writer Norman Lear in 1991.

which → purchase → 1991
Lear created the iconic sitcom “All in The Family,” which helped launch Reiner’s career.

which → create → career
Prior to Lear’s purchase, the home was owned by actor Paul Henreid, and was originally built by Henry Fonda in 1936.
While some buyers might be spooked by the property’s dark history, others could see it as a selling point.
Scott continued, “If I represented the Reiner family, creative marketing and finding niche buyers who may like the notoriety of the property would be a top priority.”
Scott said the home would also require one significant change before it could be sold.
uncertain
it → own → change
“The room where the crime occurred would need a full and complete remodel,” Scott admitted.
asserted
Scott → occur → remodel
Rob, 78, and Michele, 70, were found dead inside the home on Dec. 14, 2025.
