Why Trust & Probate Attorneys Should

Partner with a Real Estate Agent

Probate and trust attorneys handle complex legal matters, guiding families through emotionally and logistically challenging times. While their primary role is to navigate the legal aspects of estate administration, they often find themselves burdened with tasks beyond their expertise—like managing real estate sales, property maintenance, and asset liquidation. This is where a trusted real estate partner can make all the difference.

At Rooster Homes, we specialize in working with trust and probate attorneys to streamline real estate transactions, ensuring efficiency, professionalism, and top-tier client service. Here are the top reasons why partnering with a real estate team like Brandon & Sarah Arlington can benefit your practice:

1. Reducing Administrative Burden

 

Trust and probate attorneys juggle multiple responsibilities, from handling legal filings to managing client expectations. Dealing with real estate matters—such as listing, selling, and coordinating property improvements—adds unnecessary stress. We take these tasks off your plate, allowing you to focus on legal strategy and client advocacy.

2. Managing and Liquidating Assets Efficiently

Sometimes, estates include assets beyond just real estate—vehicles, furniture, and collectibles that need to be sold. We help attorneys and estate executors by handling the sale of these assets, ensuring a smooth process, and maximizing returns for the estate.

3. Handling Distressed and Dilapidated Properties

Many properties involved in probate cases are outdated or in poor condition. We leverage our network of contractors, stagers, and renovation specialists to prepare these homes for the market. Whether a full rehab is needed or just minor touch-ups, we ensure the property sells for the highest possible value.

4. High-Level Communication & Professionalism

One of the biggest pain points for attorneys is dealing with unreliable or inexperienced real estate agents who lack an understanding of probate processes. We prioritize clear, timely communication and work hand-in-hand with legal professionals to ensure smooth transactions, keeping all stakeholders informed at every stage.

5. Maximizing the Estate’s Value

Selling a home isn’t just about listing it—it’s about strategy. We analyze market trends, suggest cost-effective improvements, and implement aggressive marketing techniques to sell estate properties quickly and at the best price. This benefits heirs and beneficiaries, reducing the risk of prolonged legal and financial entanglements.

6. Enhancing Your Client Experience

When attorneys can refer their clients to a knowledgeable and compassionate real estate team, it enhances their reputation and strengthens client trust. Families navigating probate appreciate a seamless, hassle-free experience—something we take pride in providing.

REVIEWS

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.
