Probate Real Estate Experience Makes a Difference
When it comes to selling probate real estate probate attorneys want to work with probate real estate specialists that know what they are doing. Attorneys know the headaches it causes when a client hires an agent that has little to no general real estate experience, has the experience, yet is weak or sloppy, and/or has no clue about the probate sales process.
Probate Attorneys have their hands full in managing the legal aspects of the probate court process. Attorneys don’t want to spend their valuable time hand-holding or babysitting a real estate agent who does not know what they are doing. Mistakes take time to correct and ultimately end up costing money.
