Have you ever wondered:
How can I get deals and listings through referrals from Real Estate, Probate, and Wills and Trusts Attorneys in my market?
“What is Probate?” and how is it different from a trust?
What are the most common delays and issues in probate?
What should I know when my client has real estate that is in Probate?
How can I impress a probate attorney and win their business?
Which Comes First, The Probate Agent or the Lawyer?
Probate is a big ticket for BOTH attorneys and real estate professionals. Attorneys know people that need help with real estate, and real estate professionals know people that need help with Probate, Wills and Trusts, and Estate Planning. The truth is, Probate is a viable opportunity for both agents and lawyers, no matter who finds a client in need first. As an agent/investor, understanding what a Lawyer does and what they might need from you will provide a solid foundation for building referral relationships and providing a higher level of expertise to your clients.
So, What’s the Best Way To Build Relationships With Probate and Estate Attorneys Near You?
We’ve worked with thousands of agents and investors in teaching how to build lasting referral networks and strong relationships with attorneys, but until now, we’ve never heard the Do’s and Do-Not’s directly from an Attorney.
John Erik Fraker joins us today not only to lend his insight on what the legal side of probate involves, but also how agents can incorporate a basic understanding of the Probate legal process in their own business to provide exceptional value.
We are excited to bring this to you, and hope you find this valuable!
