Story
Every real estate agent or broker (depending on the state in which you practice) all has the same challenge in common: Where are they going to get their next sale? Traditional methods of finding buyers and sellers such as contacting FSBO owners, “farming” neighborhoods, hosting open houses, and pursuing “expired” listings can be successful; however, they are often very competitive and can leave agents weary. One avenue that remains constant and viable is estate-related properties that are in probate, many of which are sold in the first six to 12 months after the owner passes.

Story
Christmas is the single biggest annual event on the planet, a time for merry-making, over-indulgence, peace, goodwill, and the occasional family row. It’s as comfortable and familiar as a pair of old shoes and yet still glittery and exciting. But what do you really know about it? It’s stuffed full of traditions and rituals that most of us have been observing all our lives without having the slightest idea of where they come from.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Every real estate agent or broker (depending on the state in which you practice) all has the same challenge in common: Where are they going to get their next sale? Traditional methods of finding buyers and sellers such as contacting FSBO owners, “farming” neighborhoods, hosting open houses, and pursuing “expired” listings can be successful; however, they are often very competitive and can leave agents weary. One avenue that remains constant and viable is estate-related properties that are in probate, many of which are sold in the first six to 12 months after the owner passes.

Not as expected
This was a 50,000 foot view then a 1 inch view.
I was hoping this would include actual methodology to conduct a probate but it gave an overview and specific examples. It may be helpful for someone needing to see a big picture view but not for me, who needed nuts & bolts.
