Top 3 Challenges Attorneys Face with Trust Clients – And How a Real Estate Expert Can Help

by Sarah Arlington

Attorneys handling trust clients often face challenges that a knowledgeable real estate agent can help solve. 

Here are the top three:

1️⃣ Managing Property Sales with Multiple Beneficiaries

  • Challenge: When multiple heirs or beneficiaries are involved, disagreements over the sale price, timeline, or distribution of proceeds can cause delays and tension.
  • How a Real Estate Agent Helps: As a neutral third party, an agent can facilitate communication, provide market-based pricing guidance, and manage expectations to keep the process moving smoothly. Success!

2️⃣ Handling Property Maintenance and Preparation for Sale

  • Challenge: Many trust-owned properties are outdated, need repairs, or have been sitting vacant, requiring significant prep work before listing.
  • How a Real Estate Agent Helps: A specialized agent can coordinate cleanouts, repairs, and staging, ensuring the home is market-ready and sells for top dollar with minimal hassle to the attorney or trustee. Success!

3️⃣ Navigating Market Conditions and Finding the Right Buyers

  • Challenge: Trustees and attorneys may not be familiar with current real estate trends or the best strategy for maximizing the property’s value.
  • How a Real Estate Agent Helps: A real estate professional brings market expertise, pricing strategies, and targeted marketing to attract qualified buyers and achieve the best possible outcome. Success!

By partnering with a skilled real estate agent, attorneys can streamline the trust property sales process, reduce stress for clients, and focus on their legal responsibilities. 💼🏡

Success is just around the corner.

Claudia Chan

Helped me rent a Condo home in Playa del rey, Playa del rey, CA.

My best friend referred me to Sarah when my boyfriend and I were looking to relocate to California from New York City. Sarah is very friendly, responsive, and thoughtful. When we had our initial conversation about looking to rent, she was very transparent about taking the time to research which areas/neighborhoods that we would be interested in before seeing any of the listings. During our visit, she was available to show us some listings and I thought she really asked the right questions. She was also very on top of our requests like reaching out about pet deposit/fees and scheduling showings. She made us feel very taken care of too because we were new to renting and working with an agent. We did eventually find our home to rent with her help and she made sure to read through the rental agreement for any errors or mistakes. It was a smooth process and overall, we were very happy with our experience and highly recommend her!

Helped me rent a Apartment home in Alhambra, CA.

Sarah made apartment hunting so much fun and hassle-free! She was very responsive and supportive throughout the whole process. Sarah provides a wealth of knowledge in terms of comparative leasing comps, negotiating, and overall application progress. Lastly, I never met any other agent that emits as much genuineness and compassion as she. I highly recommend her as an agent for leasing or buying!

Bought a Single Family home in 2022 in East central, Pasadena, CA.

Brandon is so positive, supportive, and responsive to any and all my needs in the entire process of looking and buying a new home. He is extremely patient, knowledgeable about the market and procedures, thoughtful, and made excellent recommendations every step of the way. Honestly, he went above and beyond my expectation! I feel very confident with Brandon. I appreciate that he helped me to analyze what I need together, and find the perfect place for my partner and I.
