Probate Portal Won’t Work? Try This.

Can’t get into the probate court’s online portal? Can’t find the info you need?

Don’t let a website put your listing business on hold.

Pick up the phone and call probate attorneys directly.

Here’s a simple script:

“Hi, I’m [your name]. I hear you do great work. Is it okay if I stay in touch with you for referrals?”

That opens the door to referrals in both directions. You may know someone who needs an attorney. They may have clients who need help selling a home.

I’ve gotten many listings this way. My system is simple:

  • Call probate attorneys.

  • Add them to my CRM.

  • Follow up every three months.

The key? Come from a place of service.

Ask how you can help them and their clients. Be useful, follow through, and build trust.

These families may be facing a tough time. They need help, not a sales pitch.

Don’t wait for the portal to work. Start making calls.
