probate: What If My Training Where Free
- 08/23/10 04:55 AM
As a Probate Agent working Probate Real Estate for the last 23 years I find it odd so many of my own local agents have not jumped on this bandwagon. Especially during a time when real estate sales have been very tough over the last 3 years and many agents have left the business. My business has grown and probates has been a big part of this. I also have a few REO accounts but nothing to crazy but it has been Probate Homes which have made the difference for me.
I have been sharing what I do since 1992 but … (0 comments)

probate: Students Feed Back on GaryD's Probate Real Estate
- 08/18/10 07:10 PM
Probate Real Estate has been the life blood of my business for 23 of my 36yrs as a Real Estate Agent. Probate Agent is one of my prized claims. I have not marketed this system the way I was told it should have been over the last 18 yrs as I have been too busy buying, selling and listing probates. My team is Top 50 rated in Alameda County and Probate is a big reason for our success. Probate Homes can bring Six Figures to those who will take the time to check it out and see if it fits. … (1 comments)

probate: PROBATE REAL ESTATE....OUT OF STATE HEIRS A PRIORITY
- 08/16/10 04:25 AM
In my Probate Real Estate career as both an Investor or Real Estate Agent I have had the most success dealing with out of State Heirs when I was trying to buy or list/sell a probate home. If you know anything about the probate process this is a very time consuming process as the executor has many tasks he/she needs to complete during 90 day period. Financial information must be supplied to the court in order for the probate process to move along. There are other tasks as well and one of the common traits of dealing with executors and heirs … (0 comments)

probate: Probate Future Biz....The Real Farm System
- 08/13/10 04:49 AM
Investors and Real Estate Agents who want to work Probate Real Estate here is a tip for you. As you track the years probates keep a data base and at years end check your tax rolls for all the probates which went to final distribution and completed the process. Check who owns the subject probate property today. These properties which did not sell during the average 7 month long probate process will now be transferred to the rightful heir or heirs and will usually be free and clear. Think about this for a moment.
The heirs and especially the executor have … (0 comments)

probate: ANOTHER GREAT SUCCESS STORY FROM MY PROBATE R/E STUDENT WITH PROBATE SHORT SALES
- 08/12/10 07:41 AM
I just received a bulletin board message from one of my Probate Students and he just completed his first Short Sale Probate and is elated. The Executor was paid, the attorney was paid and he is making a great profit on the flip. Probate Real Estate is a Goldmine for both Investors who want to Flip probate homes, keep for rentals with built in equity from the start and for Agents who want to work the 5 Levels of Income generated from probate flips, sales, and listings. I have been working probates for 23 years and I'm amazed so many don't … (0 comments)

probate: MAKING A PROBATE OFFER FOR INVESTORS
- 08/11/10 07:57 AM
When you want to make an offer, use the C.A.R Probate Deposit Receipt available through your real estate agent (hopefully a Probate Agent trained by me). In Probate Real Estate you have a choice of going through the court confirmation process or the I.A.E.A. In my MLS 251 probate transactions closed through my local MLS board in 2009 with over $100 Million of probate homes. 2/3's went the I.A.E.A way and 1/3 the court confirmation process. In the 90's when I was buying and flipping probate homes, 90% went through the court confirmation and 10% I.A.E.A. The funny thing is the … (0 comments)

probate: No I haven't fogot about you Probate Investors
- 08/10/10 04:36 PM
I have had a few requests to talk about flipping probates and I want to make it perfectly clear we haven't stopped doing this. We have completed two probate flips this year, cheapie's in Oakland which turned on average $30K profits. Probate Real Estate flips are back and stronger than ever so jump on this band wagon. As a Probate Agent you can work with investors to flip these properties or you can be the investor and reap even more profits.
I find it so funny there are a few guys offering probate courses, very cheap (under $50 and as cheap … (0 comments)

probate: AGENTS!..HOW MUCH PROBATE REAL ESTATE GOES THROUGH YOUR LOCAL MLS
- 08/08/10 01:07 PM
Since Probate Real Estate is my niche and I'm consider one of the top Probate Agents in the Country I receive many inquiries from agents around the Country who want to know more. One question which comes up often is how much production is there for Probate Homes. This is a tough question since every area is different so I will answer this in regard to my own local MLS (Bay East) which I am a member of.
I researched for 2009 and just in my board which serves Southern Alameda County in Northern California, more than $100 Millions dollars in … (1 comments)

probate: Probate Over Bids
- 07/27/10 02:39 AM
Probate Real Estate offers many opportunities which many agents (95%) really never pursue. As a probate agent I have many avenues to earn commissions (agent) and profits (as a principle) and for 23 years have enjoyed this real estate niche. I am spreading the word now to help more agents learn this business so they can add Six Figures to their yearly production earnings. I want to help those who want to learn but again this is my 36th year in the real estate business and who knows how long I will stay active. Point is, take advantage if you want … (0 comments)

probate: Probate Profits: Multi Units
- 07/18/10 04:47 AM
I would like to chat about a trust 4-Plex my team is just completing and the quick $25K profit which is being generated. This is typical in the deals you can find with Probate Real Estate acting as either an Probate Agent and representing a Investor, landlord or end user buyer or if you are the actual buyer flipping or keeping the probate home for yourself.
This particular probate opportunity is in Oakland and was a 4 plex. In decent shape, all rented and my team agent had been in contact with the Trust (Yes Trusts work also) for over a … (0 comments)

probate: Probate Short Sale
- 07/12/10 03:49 AM
I just received approval on another Probate Real Estate short sale and did I learn a few things. The attorney for the estate, who I didn't know prior to coming into contact with the estate, has uncovered a goldmine process for probate homes which might be in a short sale situation. As a Probate Agent I now have another opportunity to earn on properties 95% of my fellow agents and most investors are staying away from. This is some great information so please take note.
The past 2 years I have been coming into contact with probates where the deceased had … (0 comments)

probate: Probate----Opportunity
- 07/01/10 05:22 PM
It's been a while since my last blog but I have been closing deals which are very hard these days and also finishing my new Probate Real Estate Agent website, E-Book (Six Figure Probate Agent) and some added bonuses. I am very excited about what is coming very soon for my fellow real estate agents who want to be a Probate Agent and add Six Figures to their yearly commissions.
The new website is being converted for Probate Real Estate Agents only rather than the probate flip site at www.probate-realestate.com I have also partnered with a company who will provide probate … (0 comments)

probate: AGENTS & INVESTORS!! HAVING TROUBLE FINDING PROPERTY?
- 06/08/10 04:27 AM
In my current Probate Real Estate business I deal with Investors often who are looking to purchase wholesale to either flip or to keep as a rental. The MLS is tough to find good wholesale deals and the TS Sale court house scene has tripled in the amount of investors looking for good deals. As a Probate Agent I have been swamped with business so Investors should consider checking out Probates.
What we do is track every Probate in my County and contact the estate very early in the Probate process (1st week) and ask if they will be … (0 comments)

probate: Probate Agent or Investor--Which is Better
- 06/03/10 06:28 PM
In my Probate Real Estate business (ReMax) it is my opinion being a licensed agent dealing as a Probate Agent is the preferred focus over just being an investor. I have been both over the last 23 years and I can say more opportunities are to those who are licensed agents. Buying and selling probate homes is a goldmine and I'm the only one who has a system for probate agents to earn Six Figures per year representing buyers of Probate homes (Flippers, Landlords and End User Move in Buyers) plus taking estate home listings.
Many say when you … (0 comments)

probate: Probate Real Estate---Does This Really Work?
- 05/29/10 02:24 PM
For over 23 years I have been buying and selling Probate Real Estate as an investor, for other investors and as a Probate Agent representing end user (move in buyers) to purchase a probate at a good discount. I have been written about in Real Estate Books (John Reed: Deals Which Make Sense), interviewed on Radio Real Estate Talk shows, articles in major city real estate sections and also have been a featured speaker at selected real estate conferences. I still get this question today! Doe This Really Work? Lol....Yup I do
Now it's not a big deal as … (0 comments)

probate: Probate Real Estate---What is Pro Per
- 05/28/10 08:52 PM
In the Probate Real Estate World 9 out of 10 times there will be an Estate Attorney who is controlling the probate process and for our focus, the sale of the probate property, which you will have to learn how to control. This is true regardless if the your sale is going through the old Court Confirmation process or the better way; Independent Administration of Estates Act. If you think you are a Probate Agent or want to be one and you don't know about these two processes in California; do your homework! I had to learn all this the hard … (1 comments)

probate: SIX FIGURES FROM PROBATE REAL ESTATE......MANY QUESTIONS
- 05/25/10 04:57 AM
I have been very busy with my real estate business and the first half of 2010 has been the best for me over the last 3 years as I have closed about 15 deals already with another 6 in escrow. I'm on pace for between 40-50 deals in 2010 and again very few of these deals are REO's as I have had only 5 assignments since the first of the year with 2 in escrow, 1 newly listed and 2 coming out of the eviction process. What has kept me busier is my Probate Real Estate business representing investors and … (0 comments)

probate: PROBATE REAL ESTATE---What You Need To Know About Court Overbids
- 05/13/10 04:32 AM
In my Probate Real Estate business I have a income opportunity I call "Level 4" which is where we go to court and overbid on Estate Homes. This is the old probate sale confirmation process and probably most of you have heard about it. As a Probate Agent representing yourself, investors or end users buyers you need to make sure you understand the process before you bid as it could be a very costly situation and end up being a major problem. Remember the Probate Investing business as either and agent or investor is a Six Figure opportunity so … (0 comments)
