Work with a Probate Real Estate Professional, Trust Us!

If You're Interviewing Real Estate Agents...

Always ask the prospective agent, "Have you sold real property through probate or trust?"

Most agents will casually answer yes, but be sure to ask for more details. For example ask them the following questions:

1. Have you ever sold a property that requires court confirmation?
2. How do you market the property and attract all types of buyers?

It's also important to realize that there when selling probate and trust real estate as a "private" sale, there are probate codes and rules to follow. Make sure your agent is savvy and knows these codes. For example ask the agent you are interviewing:

1. How long is the listing agreement for?
2. What is the commission?

In a probate sale, the listing agreement is only good for 90 days. Many agents do not know this and you can get yourself into a longer listing agreement. Also, the commission is dictated by the court and it can only be 5% (10% for vacant land), so be sure you are being charged the correct commission.

Probate and trust real estate sales can be complicated, so it is important to have a seasoned agent who has experience within this specialized marketplace.

Meet The Sanborn Team. These real estate agents are your experts when it comes to selling real estate through trust or probate.

How Buyers are Looking for Real Estate

How Do Buyers Look for Real Estate?

Recently we did a survey at a Sunday Open House. We had about 50 people pass through the property to view it and we asked each of them, “How did you hear about the open house?”

In preparation for the open house we had a photo box ad in the Los Angeles Times Homes section and had the property as listed as “Open Sunday” on http://www.themls.com/.

There was only ONE party that said they found out about the open house from reading a physical newspaper… every other buyer either found the listing online as being open today or their real estate agent informed them that the property was open.

The Sanborn Team has a comprehensive online marketing campaign that cannot be beat. Within 5 days of listing your property in the Multiple Listing Service and the local Realtor Boards, your property will show up on the following websites:
