Why real estate agents should get into the probate niche
Susan saw so much opportunity – for success AND impact – in the probate space that it inspired her to venture into law school. Why should you consider probate as a real estate niche?
First, it’s a great way to build your business. Probate real estate is a unique opportunity because it’s a seller’s market. In other words, the people selling the property are often more motivated to sell quickly and for a fair price than in other types of transactions.
Second, it’s a way to help people during difficult times in their lives. If you’re the type of person who gets satisfaction from helping others, then probate real estate is a great niche for you.
Third, it’s an opportunity to learn and grow as a real estate agent. Probate transactions often require more knowledge and understanding than traditional real estate transactions. Educating yourself through a course like Probate Mastery will help you stand out from your competition and impress probate attorneys.
If you’re a real estate agent or investor who is looking for an opportunity to build your business, help others, and learn and grow in your profession through probate, Probate Mastery can help you.
How to start getting real estate leads after moving to a new city
If you’re thinking about moving to a new city, or have recently moved, one of the best ways to get started in your real estate business is by finding probate leads. Probate leads are people who have inherited property that they may need to sell.
There are a few ways to find probate leads. You can search online for public records of probate cases, or you can contact probate attorneys in your area and start building relationships.
Another great way to get started in your new city is by taking a course like Probate Mastery. This course will not only teach you how to find probate leads, but also how to market to them and sell probate properties. Having the Certified Probate Expert designation under your belt will help you stand out as you meet new prospects and build your referral network.
How to differentiate yourself from competition in real estate
In any business, but especially in real estate, it’s important to differentiate yourself from your competition.
Susan shares how she accomplishes this through self-education. She is constantly challenging herself to learn what she doesn’t already know. This allows her to offer a unique perspective and added value to her clients.
When you’re able to offer probate real estate services to your clients and referral partners beyond listing a property, you will stand out. The probate niche is often misunderstood and there is a lot of opportunity for agents and investors who are willing to educate themselves and put in the work.
One way to start differentiating yourself is by becoming a Certified Probate Expert. This designation will show your prospects and referral partners that you have a high level of knowledge and expertise in probate real estate. You can start the Probate Mastery course today.
