Probate and trust specialists

---

Your clients owe a fiduciary duty to get the best price for property in the estate.  To achieve this, they need to advertise the property correctly.  We work with a professional photographer to take stunning photos of the home, and typically create a dynamic video walk-through, like those shown below.  This is part of our standard service. 

With our experience flipping homes for the last seven years, we know exactly what needs to be done to a home to maximize its value for the estate.  

For estates that have liquid assets, we will develop a renovation plan with a detailed budget, and assist the administrator or trustee through the entire renovation process.  This will ensure that the estate does not spend any more money than is absolutely required to achieve the maximum return on investment.

For estates that have no liquid assets available to complete renovations, our brokerage is willing to invest our own money in the project through an interest free loan.  This loan is repaid out of escrow when the property sells.  We will also manage the renovation project and sell the property for the estate.  Best of all, we will offer these services for a commission that is at or below market rates!

As a probate attorney, your fee is set by statute.  The more time you spend walking your clients through these extra processes and paperwork, the less money you make per hour.  Let us help make the transaction more efficient and profitable for you.

Jeff Belton is a real estate attorney and broker.  Stephanie Belton is a paralegal and Realtor.  When your clients hire us to represent them, you are gaining our specialized assistance.  Jeff and Stephanie will help check documents and procedures to make sure your clients are doing and signing only what is in the best interest of the estate and in their roles as administrators or trustees. 

We will help write Broker Price Opinions for your probate referees so they appraise the property correctly from the beginning.  This will save you time and money because you will not have to request a re-appraisal if they over value a property.  

With our significant legal backgrounds we are especially comfortable with the legal process and making court appearances.  We will keep you and your clients apprised of our progress throughout the entire renovation and sale process.  You should not need to ask for an update before preparing a status report or making an appearance in court.  If it becomes necessary, Jeff loves writing declarations!
