What is Pre-Probate?
Properties flagged with a deceased owner (pre-probate) often signal upcoming transitions, even before probate is filed. Many heirs live out of the area or are unprepared to manage the property, making these homes more likely to be sold. By identifying them early, you can connect with families before outside pressures mount.The Right Audience
Properties where the primary owner is flagged as deceased. These often overlap with aging homes, absentee heirs, or vacant status— strong signals that a sale is the most likely outcome.Outreach Channels
Start with direct mail addressed carefully to “Estate of [Owner Name]” to ensure delivery without discomfort. Follow with phone outreach if heir contacts are identified|and use email when addresses are available. Timing and tone matter—avoid aggressive outreach.Measuring Success
Track number of deceased-flagged properties contacted, consultations booked with heirs, and deals secured before probate or public listing. Success is measured by early engagement and conversion of estate- owned properties.
