A Strategic Extension of Your Fiduciary Responsibility
Real estate is often the most volatile asset in an estate. Managing it shouldn’t be the most time-consuming part of your practice.
Most generalist agents are unfamiliar with the nuances of a Section 356.101 Application for Sale of Real Estate or the specific requirements of a Dependent Administration. We are different. The Probate Realtor was built as a resource for probate attorneys who require a partner capable of navigating the intersection of the Estate Codes and the open market. We act as a professional buffer, resolving property-level crises before they become legal liabilities for your firm.
EXPERTISE IN INDEPENDENT & DEPENDENT ADMINISTRATIONS
Whether your client has been granted Letters Testamentary in an Independent Administration or you are navigating the strict judicial oversight of a Dependent Administration (common in counties like Harris, which saw 371 such cases last year ), we structure the transaction to match the court’s requirements. We ensure all “Notice to Creditors” periods and “Reporting of Sale” timelines are respected.
SEAMLESS COLLABORATION WITH ESTATE COUNSEL
Our internal workflow is designed to mirror yours. From providing the accurate property valuations needed for the Inventory, Appraisement, and List of Claims to ensuring the Order of Sale is executed flawlessly, we speak your language. We provide the documentation you need for court filings—on time, every time.
MITIGATING FIDUCIARY RISK THROUGH NEUTRALITY
Heir disputes can derail an estate and increase your billable hours on non-legal tasks. We serve as a third-party neutral, providing data-backed valuations and transparent communication that reduces friction among beneficiaries. By providing “As-Is” cash options alongside traditional listings, we give your clients a range of defensible choices.
Comprehensive Property Management for Your Paralegals
We eliminate the “administrative drag” on your staff. Instead of your paralegal calling locksmiths or junk haulers, our team handles the entire property lifecycle.

Common Questions
We provide a comprehensive Broker Price Opinion (BPO) that factors in the “date of death” value as well as current market value to assist in tax and accounting filings.
Yes. We are experts in the court-supervised sale process, including the application for sale, report of sale, and the 10-day waiting period for confirmation.
Constantly. We specialize in “Remote Estate Management,” allowing the attorney to remain the central point of contact while we handle the physical assets across Texas.
We provide a court-ready Broker Price Opinion (BPO) that goes beyond a standard “market value” assessment. We can provide valuations based on the Date of Death (DOD) to assist with tax basis calculations and the required inventory filings that over 37,000 Texas estates managed last year. This ensures the inventory you file is defensible and reflects the property’s actual condition at the time of the decedent’s passing
We understand that Dependent Administrations (which accounted for 2,706 cases in Texas recently) require strict judicial oversight. We coordinate our marketing and sale efforts to align with the required Application for Sale, Report of Sale, and the mandatory Decree Confirming Sale. We ensure the 10-day waiting period for higher bids is respected before closing, protecting the executor and your firm from procedural errors.
Yes. In markets with high volumes of “All Other Estate Proceedings”—such as Dallas (1,221 cases) or Harris (2,588 cases)—complex heirship is a frequent barrier to sale. Our team, supported by our probate attorney on staff, works with title companies to identify all necessary parties for the Warranty Deed. We help track down distant heirs and facilitate the signatures needed to clear the title, preventing the transaction from stalling.
We act as your “boots on the ground” estate concierge. We coordinate everything from professional sorting and inventories to junk removal and shipping personal effects to family members. By serving as a third-party neutral, we document the removal of assets and provide a clear accounting of the property’s contents, which reduces the potential for beneficiary disputes and reduces the administrative burden on your paralegals.
Absolutely. For estates facing immediate debts, taxes, or high maintenance costs, we can provide multiple cash offers within 24 hours. This is particularly valuable for the thousands of estates in counties like Tarrant or Bexar, where quick liquidation helps settle the estate and provides the necessary funds for the final accounting. This “As-Is” approach also provides a liability shield for the fiduciary by eliminating future repair-related claims from the buyer.
