For fiduciaries, executors, trustees & heirs
When you sell property in a fiduciary capacity, 'my neighbor recommended someone' is not a process. We run agent selection the way a fiduciary duty expects it to be run — documented, comparative, and defensible to beneficiaries.
Personal representatives, trustees, and professional fiduciaries answer to beneficiaries — and sometimes to a court — for how estate assets were handled. The listing agent decision is one of the largest levers on the estate's outcome, yet it is usually made faster and with less rigor than any other vendor selection in the administration. A documented comparison changes that: it produces a written record of who was considered, how they were evaluated, and why the chosen agent was the strongest fit for this property.
Agents are screened for actual estate-sale experience — court timelines and confirmation processes where applicable, homes with decades of deferred maintenance, personal property logistics, and the pace beneficiaries expect. General production numbers don't substitute for this.
Two to three candidates, evaluated on the same scorecard and delivered as a side-by-side written comparison — the document a fiduciary wants in the file when a beneficiary asks how the agent was chosen.
On the referral path, the estate pays nothing extra for the selection process — the hired agent's brokerage pays a standard referral fee at closing, disclosed in writing, identical for every candidate presented.
Estate property is wherever the family history happened — often nowhere near the fiduciary's own market. The process runs the same in Portland, Scottsdale, or San Diego: source, vet, compare, document.
If agent selection is a recurring need in your practice, the process can become your standing protocol: you send the property and the constraints, we return the documented comparison, your client or the court record gets a defensible selection every time. I'm glad to walk through the methodology, the referral disclosures, and a sample report — and to be held to the same scrutiny you'd apply to any vendor you put in front of a client.
