An agent that understands the nuances, specialized documentation, unforgiving deadlines, and follows the court’s instructions to the letter, all the while preparing the property for sale or refinance. When it comes to disagreeing heirs, you want an agent that can facilitate a smooth outcome bringing the estate to a timely and amicable close.
Four Things To Consider with a Probate Realtor
- Experienced in Probate
- Knows How to Take Work off Your Plate
- Clear Communication to Parties
- Service the Heir(s) and Prepare Property for Sale
SOLUTION: THIS ISN'T BUSINESS AS USUAL
- The real estate portion of your case deserves an expert, the same as every other aspect of your case. Without a specialized expert:
- Conflict between Heirs Can Cause Damage
- Delays in Probate Process and Legal Proceedings
- Wasted Time and Money for Property Upkeep
- Not because they mean to cause harm, but because they don’t know any other way, non-specialized Realtors apply the traditional processes of real estate in probate transactions— and that doesn’t work.
- Work with an Experienced Realtor who can handle:
- Emotional Aspects Within Probate
- Structuring the Deal to Meet All Your Requirements
- Explaining the Probate Procedure to Your Clients, Freeing Up Your Time

How It All Began...
Probate is complicated, believe me, I know. When I first worked with Attorneys, Trustees, Administrators, and Executors, I quickly realized that this kind of transaction required a different skill set and knowledge than any other typical listing.
As I gained experience in these kinds of cases, I also learned there are ways to meet legal deadlines while streamlining the process for heirs and personal representatives.
Over the years, I made it my mission to mitigate the emotional and financial challenges with losing a family member and collaborating with heirs on real property. I developed a tailored approach to the probate listing process – based on neutrality and communication.
All of this to say: My team and I have our client’s backs, and if you choose to work with us, we’ll be fierce advocates for you.
I look forward to meeting you.
