Probate, trustee and guardianship sales are their own discipline, and most agents only meet one every few years. Arthur Colligan has built a 31 year career on them, alongside the ordinary business of buying, selling and renting in South Florida.
Six kinds of work, one broker, and the same direct phone number for all of them. If yours is the first one on this list, you are in the right place.
When a property passes through probate, the sale answers to the court and to the family at the same time. Arthur has run these for three decades and knows where they usually stall.
Talk about a probate sale →A trustee or a court appointed guardian is selling on somebody else's behalf, and every step has to stand up to review later. Arthur works to that standard as a matter of routine.
Ask about a trustee sale →A house full of a lifetime is often the part nobody knows how to start. Arthur helps families sequence the clearing, the repairs worth doing and the ones that are not.
Get help with a full house →Pricing, preparation and negotiation from a broker who has also owned and renovated more than 25 properties himself, so the advice on what to fix comes from having paid for it.
Discuss selling →Buyers get the same broker who represents the sellers on the other side of these deals, which is a useful thing to have in your corner when the market is thin.
Start a home search →Rentals make up a real share of the 2,100 plus transactions behind Arthur's career, so a landlord placing a tenant gets the same attention as a seven figure sale.
Ask about a rental →Arthur started as an IBM engineer and still works like one. The questions come first, the paperwork gets read, and nothing goes to market before it is ready.
Most agents handle a probate sale rarely enough that they are learning on your file. Arthur has been doing this specific work for 31 years and holds the CDPE and SRES designations behind it.
Before real estate, Arthur was an engineer at IBM. Deadlines, documents and court dates get tracked, and you hear about a problem from him rather than from the closing table.

Tell Arthur what you have and where it stands. If it is a probate or trustee matter, he will tell you what the court will want to see before anything is listed.
Price, timing, what to clear, what to repair and what to leave alone. You get the reasoning, not just a number, so you can make the call yourself.
Marketing, showings, offers and negotiation, with the paperwork kept in order for whoever has to review it afterwards.
Arthur has not collected public reviews online, so there are none to quote here and none will be invented. What he can do is put you in touch with past clients, including families he handled probate sales for. Ask on the call and he will make the introductions.
