Tucker – Great Podcast. I’m working on adding Probates to my marketing so this podcast was especially helpful. When sending to the deceased’s address, who’s name are you putting on the mailer – the deceased or the executor? Thanks.

Justin,
Try experimenting in your areas to see what works best, we have done it and continue to do it both ways and continue to experiment with it. Thanks!

Great Podcast Tucker!
I’ve always mailed to the personal rep at their address. Gonna have to try mailing to the deceased address and see if I can up my response rate.

Tucker-
Good show.
When I look at the notice in my local paper, it shows the deceased, personal representative and attorney. I can then look at county records to see if they owned any property. At this point, I’m not positive if the deceased and the property owner are the same (First Middle Last Name vs. First Middle initial Last) and I’m not sure if the house is included in the estate.
Do you mail w/ just this information or do you/can you verify that their is a house involved and what the address is?
Thanks

Hi Tucker,
Great episode! I’ve tried sending mailers to probates before. One problem I had when mailing to the address of the deceased person’s property is getting a phone call from random family members and not necessarily the PR/Executor/decision maker. Is there any questions that you ask up front to make sure you’re dealing with the right person? Also, about how many mail touches are you doing before someone sells, I ask because some probates could take up to 2-3 years especially in LA county? Thanks!

Crystal,
Yes, one of the first questions you can ask is if they are the decision maker, that way you know how much time to invest in talking to that person or if you need to speak to someone else. Often times the person checking the mail is the PR/Decision maker. You can also send the mail in the PR’s name at the subject property to ensure they receive it. As far as mail touches, stay consistent, mail to the probate lists every quarter or 6 months if in CA it takes longer. That way they are reminded of you and think of you when they go to sell.
