THE ART OF FINDING DEALS JIMMY V. REED
always like to talk about it but there are two certainties in life, death & taxes and both are involved in probate. Our objective is the real assets i. e. real estate property that usually through a death ends up in a situation where taxes are due.

Once contact is made we use our conversation form to ask the right questions. Once we have all our info its time to make an offer. Understand the main goal of the offer is to offer just enough cash out of pocket to satisfy the courts and any debts. We
