Using US Probate Leads Gives You an Edge
Why Do Executors Want to Sell?
As an entrepreneur, how you spend your time directly
influences the ability of your business to succeed. Going to
the courthouse week after week can eat up a good deal of
the time that you have available to actually work your
business. While you are at the courthouse, you could be
sending communications campaigns, meeting with potential
sellers, networking with
attorneys that specialize in
estate law or speaking to
business and community
groups in the area, getting
more exposure for your
business.
Taking the time to dig
through records simply might
not be the best use of your
time. This is the reason that
many probate professionals
choose to use a probate leads
service. Said Leon
McKenzie, the CEO of US
Probate Leads, “Our
researchers, numbering into
the hundreds, are in county
courthouses across the
country finding a never
ending stream of probate real
estate leads. This really puts
us in the unique position of
being the only source of probate real estate leads with such
a broad reach into this niche market. US Probate Leads is
second to none when it comes to both the quality and the
breadth of research that goes into providing you with
prospects that are both well vetted and favorably located
for you.”
Having probate leads that are focused on areas and types
of property that you are looking for gives you an edge in
the real estate market. While other probate entrepreneurs
might prefer to get their leads the “old fashioned way” by
going to the courthouse, you can move right to contacting
the Executor and visiting the property. By the time a
competing probate investor finds what they are looking for,
you may have already made a deal! This is one of the most
compelling reasons to use US Probate Leads.

Once a probate has been filed with the courthouse, in
order to have the best opportunity to purchase it at a low
cost, you’ll have to move quickly. Having access to a lead
service can keep you abreast of the changes in your area
and immediately shows you new filings. Finding out as
soon as a filing has been made gives you a distinct
advantage in providing you
time to drive by the property
and also in contacting the
seller. There are real reasons
that you want to have access
to this information so that you
can make a deal. While leads
are generally good for up to
eighteen months, there are
many Executors that move at
a rapid pace once a loved one
has passed away. They may
do this for a variety of
reasons. If the Executor is
struggling with grief, it may
be easier to simply sell the
family home to eliminate the
painful memories. Also, if
the Executor lives out of
state, they may feel the need
to sell as soon as possible.
This is because they will be
facing repairs and
maintenance of a home that they cannot easily supervise.
Selling the home quickly is a way to eliminate that stressor.
Executors also may need cash in order to pay bills that
have accumulated in the individual’s name, such as funeral
expenses, tax bills, medical charges or credit card
expenses. By selling the home quickly they will have cash
to cover these financial needs. The Executor may also
have no one who is willing to live in the property and may
not want to be in the position of having to rent it out.
All of these reasons are what compels an Executor to
move quickly when selling a probate property. If you have
access to professional probate leads then you can take
advantage of making a deal to assist them in moving on from
their family home. This is an important reason to have a
professional lead service identifying options in your area.
