Probate. We Make It Simple!
Probate Real Estate Services & Sales – The PRESS Team
By specializing in the unique area of probate real estate and working as a team we provide expertise, energy and efficiency to our probate clients that they can’t get anywhere else. We know the probate process from start to finish and that sets us apart from 95% of real estate agents and the companies they work for.
The national average to become a licensed real estate agent is only thirteen (13) hours of training! Most agents are part-time and based on industry studies sell less than five (5) properties per year! You can see by those numbers that most agents don’t have very much experience in “typical” real estate sales, let alone probate sales. Added to their lack of experience, is the fact that most agents work alone, with no administrative staff or other support.
These facts don’t build very much confidence in the average agent. Yet, these agents expect personal representatives to trust them with the biggest asset they may ever have to manage! Why take the risk?
Probate Real Estate Services & Sales, LLC (PRESS) is a different “brand” of real estate brokerage: specialized, expert, and committed. That difference can be summed up by four qualities.

03. | Being technologically adept is critical in this age of computers and social media. A large part of our marketing success is driven by our use of cutting edge technology and social media platforms. |
04. | Resource Provider: Probate properties may require services that a typical house sale would not. The estate may need its personal property appraised, cleaned out, or repaired for sale. PRESS has a Resource Directory of licensed and bonded professionals that can do everything that is required to resolve the estate. We’ve even assisted with unwanted automobiles! Our clients don’t have to “shop around” for any of these services because we already have the proven professionals that provide them. |
