AGENTS: Do you market to probate, trust and aging sellers?

If you’re an active agent with more capacity to list and sell, and avoid probates because you’re worried they’re complicated and involve attorneys and courts, you are missing out out on of a massive market.

A few agents will “stick their toe” in a probate sale, repping a buyer but run like hell because they never bothered to study the process and put off by the unfamiliar forms and terms.

This is unfortunate. That’s because the largest transfer of wealth in the nations history is occurring right under the nose of the very people who would be excellent at finding these sellers and helping them. 

Surprisingly, only a handful of agents seem to make an effort to focus on listing probate estates and trusts. This is unfortunate because the markets are underserved and the clients truly need competent, caring representation. 

If you’re an experienced agent in CA who actually works in the field more than on a screen, we’ll help you find and get more listings on these forums and in our free Facebook group. 

Now, how can you best contribute?  What say you, @Mark Pedroza ?
