Heard of the stigma surrounding probates in real estate investing?
While there has been a discredit to probate matters, there is always a way to turn things around and let the deceased's executors and heirs call you up to sell the property.
That's where your branding and marketing strategy makes a difference.
Sharon Vornholt is the owner of Innovative Property Solutions in Louisville, KY. She began investing in 1998 and was originally a rehabber and a buy-and-hold landlord. However, when the market crashed in 2008, she became an "accidental wholesaler." Sharon loves helping real estate investors build a profitable business by specializing in off- market deals.
She is also passionate about empowering and educating women who are interested in real estate investing.
In this episode, Sharon shares a reliable marketing strategy that is simplified, gets you ahead of your competitors, and consistently fills your client pipeline.

Key Takeaways:
"You really need not a lot of information to work in probate; you need the name and address of the deceased and the name and address of the executor or the personal representative." - Sharon Vornholt
"From a branding and marketing perspective, anytime you can get in front of a seller, it's always better for you. Then if you have to go through an agent, work with agents. But, getting in front of a seller, you have the chance to show who you are." - Sharon Vornholt
"I'm relying on the mailers now that's in conjunction with having a website so that they can check you out because they are going to check you out."- Sharon Vornholt
"You mail everybody every month; it's consistency. Because your competition, 90% of the people will stop on or before the third mailing. That's what you need to hang on to. They're going to get in there, and they don't get a bunch of deals in the first month or two. They're gone. So, you've got to be the last man standing." - Sharon Vornholt
"My rule is, mail everybody every month as long as the house is available." - Sharon Vornholt
