Leveraging momentum in real estate 2023 (Real Estate Success)
The best time to catch the wind and sail is when there is already some forward momentum. The same goes for growing your real estate business. When there is already some movement in the market, it’s easier to get involved and start making money.
This was certainly the case in 2020 as the pandemic spurred on a lot of activity in the real estate market. And, according to many experts, the momentum is going to slow as we enter 2023.
But if this sentiment forces many others to put their head in the sand, there’s huge potential for you to grow if you know how to leverage momentum.
Now is the time to start leveraging this momentum to grow your business. If you haven’t already, consider using this time to start earning attorney referrals with the EARN Course (Click Here to learn more)

Skip-tracing to find international heirs (Probate Checklist)
If you’re working on a probate case, it’s important to have a skip-tracing plan in place. This is especially true if you’re dealing with an international estate.
There are a few things you’ll need to do differently when skip-tracing for an international heir:
1. Get a good understanding of the country’s laws and probate process.
2. Find a reliable skip-tracing partner in the country.
3. Be prepared to deal with language barriers.
4. Understand the cultural nuances of the country.
By following these steps, you’ll be in a much better position to find the heirs you’re looking for.
Selling a medical business property – Non-traditional opportunities (Commercial Real Estate Stories)
When selling medical business property, you need to think outside the box.
What tasks matter when clearing out a medical business?
1. Properly cleaning and disinfecting the property
2. Making sure all medical waste is properly disposed of
3. Completing any necessary repairs or renovations
4. Staging the property in a way that will appeal to potential buyers
5. Marketing the property to the right audience
By taking care of these things, you’ll be in a much better position to sell medical business property. You can appeal to a broader array of personal representatives that have commercial property needs!

Can a beneficiary force the sale of inherited property? (Creative Finance)
If you’re the beneficiary of an inherited property, you may be wondering if you can force the sale of the property. While it’s not always possible, there are a few situations where it may be possible.
1. If the property is in poor condition and needs to be sold for safety reasons
2. If the property is a burden to the beneficiaries and they can’t afford to keep it up
3. If the beneficiaries want to sell the property but the executor is dragging their feet
If you find yourself in one of these situations, you may be able to force the sale of the inherited property. However, it’s always best to speak with an attorney before taking any action.
