Substantiation: Probate Leads for Real Estate Agents

1. Probate sale-timing windows (letters typically issued 90–180 days after filing, listings concentrated 4–14 months after appointment, estates with real estate often closing 12–18 months post-filing) and call-handling structure (90-second acknowledgment) are descriptive operational windows derived from Diverse's transfer-queue and partner-feedback dataset, not third-party claims.

Diverse internal: probate transfer-queue analytics and partner debriefs (2022–2025)

Methodology

Windows are reported as operational ranges observed across the Diverse partner network and are intended to set agent expectations rather than to function as statistical population claims. They are reviewed and republished when underlying conditions shift materially.

Type

comparative methodology

Source

Public marketing pages and product documentation of each named competitor

Date range

Reviewed May 2026

Methodology

Each row was sourced from the competitor's own public marketing pages and product documentation reviewed in May 2026. No private pricing or non-public program details are reproduced. Competitors may have programs, regional variations, or recent changes not reflected. Detailed cost-per-closing math is not included in the structural table; per-competitor /vs/ pages with full math will be published only after Tim and outside counsel sign off on methodology and apples-to-apples assumptions.
