@jennyrozelle We see the implications of this @vendorable when there are either tax sales, or later someone sells it in a deceased estate and cost base issues arise. Happens all the time.
Looking for a fun way to learn about estate and elder law? 👀
Tune in to my podcast, @LegalTeaPodcast, where I break down complex legal concepts in just 15 minutes with a new episode every Tuesday.
Each episode rotates between three formats:
Interesting statistics regarding consolidation of rent rolls nationally with larger franchises increasing their numbers, and smaller / independent agencies decreasing their book sizes.

It pays to get high quality advice, specific to the asset in question when you're looking to sell, lease or value a property.
Providing advice around a specific asset type/location/category relates specifically to training, experience and networks of the service provider.
Real estate is not a homogeneous asset class.
Price differentials between blocks, along streets, across suburbs are very real.
I always read articles that talk about "the market is down" and think -- which market?

Default, if a service provider, real estate agent or otherwise doesn’t have a website — be super wary.
Definitely go deeper into checking their current licence & registration status.

Property selling tip 💡:
Having zero marketing budget for a property in this day and age is not a good choice.
Even if you want to minimize on costs, you should seriously consider what minimum viable marketing looks like in order to get the best price when selling.
@weeksy_j@jennyrozelle@IndyFiduciary It’s why we focus on technology for tendering and procurement, but we never look to replace the service providers.
Property sellers:
"Going to market for services is hard"...
also property sellers:
"This one single quote I got seems a little high..."
Folks do yourself a favour and especially is you're a fiduciary de-risk your position: go to market for services.
Cost and pricing aren’t everything.
It IS a large component of fiduciary duties, but getting the right service provider for your situation, with capacity to do your work, at the BEST possible price — well that’s always going to serve you well.
Cheapest isn’t always best.
@jennyrozelle Paralegals are some of the serious power users for us. They’re the connective tissue between attorneys and the clients, helping them achieve great results.
High quality estate administrators will always want to go to market for services because you never know what market intelligence will be obtained by ‘testing the market’.
Preferred or panel suppliers can be included, but they shouldn’t be the only parties to submit to tenders.
📑 Tender Tip:
Clear instructions = better results.
Be specific in your brief to real estate agents: state your goals, constraints, and expected outcomes. Clarity prevents delays, ensures alignment, and builds trust for a smoother process.

❗️Prop 19’s tax rules may have created urgency
but
⚠️ the NAR settlement in 2024 settlement demands even more care

Pre-nups are estate planning tools, too!
I have clients who get remarried in their 60s+ and typically, I recommend getting a Pre-Nup in place.
Not really for divorce protection, but rather, to protect their respective estates post-death.
Are you seeking a real estate agent for an estate or trust administration matter? A matrimonial property separate matter? Or any other at risk / probity-sensitive sale?
You’ll need to be aware of what ‘value for money’ looks like to fulfil your lowest reasonable cost obligation.
