I’ve been a long time probate investor that is currently revamping our whole process and stumbled upon some excellent data which will help our unique process, find info faster and allow us to reach out to personal reps in multiple ways. Curious to who is successfully doing probates and if you buy your leads or get them direct from courthouse? This group ROCKS.

@Ryan O'Bannon thank you for the exchange. We are looking for descendants name, last known residence, PR name and contact info. We are now texting and calling reps, searching for them on Facebook as well as mailing our good ole fashion genuine letters to them. We have also now created a website offering a book that is filled with FAQs about the process, links to important documents, directories of legal information and attorney referral information. We are also going to test running an advertorial publication in a few select papers and magazines to see how the responses are. I will tell you one of the greatest weapons we’ve had is receiving other investors/agent letters and postcards from sellers. This gave us a lot of insight as to who is marketing but also what they are saying. I took it a step further to see WHO is actually actively working these leads and out of 17 other marketers, NONE answered their phones, three returned the message and based on the way they handled the situation we are not to concerned with them being able to close much. Plus we also validated that we have the most unique and authentic process for acquiring these deals. Our smallest probate deal this year was $68,000. 👋.
