Introduction

If you're selling a probate or trust home, stop obsessing over agent fees. The real number that matters is how much equity the estate walks away with at closing and that number is directly tied to who you hire and how they sell.

In this video Kim Ward and Ashlie Rivera break down exactly why the cheapest agent almost always costs the estate the most money and what to do instead.

Here's what we cover:

- The $80,000 mistake one executor made trying to save on fees

- Why compensation funds your marketing, staging & strategy

- The red flags that signal the wrong agent

- Questions that reveal if an agent truly knows probate & trust sales

- How the right agent turns a stale listing into a strong sale

The wrong choice is costly. The right one changes everything. Because at the end of the day what matters most is what the estate keeps.
