A Real Estate Partner Your Probate Practice Can Rely On
Informational purposes only. Nothing on this page is legal advice and no attorney-client or agency relationship is created by reading it. PBP Real Estate, LLC is a licensed Florida real estate brokerage (License CQ1064615), not a law firm.
For probate and estate attorneys in Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade, and Martin counties.
When an estate includes real property, the sale can become the longest, messiest line item in your case — or the one part you never have to think about. Gia Freer, Broker of Record at PBP Real Estate, has spent years handling the real estate side of probate for attorneys, personal representatives, and families across South Florida. Refer the property; we handle the details and keep you informed at every step.
What We Take Off Your Plate
- Opinions of value that hold up. Date-of-death and current-market opinions of value prepared with documented comparables — suitable for filings, negotiations among heirs, and pricing decisions.
- Court-timeline-aware listing management. We work around letters of administration, court approvals, and creditor periods — the listing plan follows the case, not the other way around.
- Difficult property situations. Occupied homes, tenants, hoarding conditions, deferred maintenance, and vacant-property securing — handled with discretion and documented for the file.
- Out-of-state heirs and personal representatives. Remote coordination, photo and video updates, and plain-English status reports so every stakeholder knows exactly where things stand.
- Family dynamics. We communicate patiently with heirs and family members who question every decision — so those calls come to us, not to your office.
- Clean closings. Organized files, responsive communication, and realistic timelines. If your firm provides title and escrow services, the transaction stays exactly where it belongs — with your team. We work seamlessly alongside in-house title operations.
How the Referral Works
- You introduce us — a call or an email with the case basics.
- We assess the property — condition, occupancy, pricing, and a recommended plan, delivered to you and the personal representative in writing.
- You stay as informed as you want to be — full copies of everything, or just the milestones. Your preference.
- The property sells; your case moves forward. No surprises at closing, no loose ends in the file.
No referral fees, no fee-sharing, no strings — Florida Bar rules and our own standards keep it that way. What you get is a competent broker who makes you look good to your client.

Frequently Asked Questions from Attorneys
Do you pay referral fees to attorneys?
No. Florida Bar rules restrict fee-sharing between attorneys and real estate brokers, and we would not offer it regardless. The value of the relationship is a clean transaction and a well-served client.
Can a property be listed before the estate is fully administered?
Often, depending on the case posture and court requirements. We coordinate listing timing with you so marketing never gets ahead of the court — and we prepare pricing and condition documentation in the meantime so no time is lost.
How do you handle occupied estate properties?
With patience and documentation. Whether the occupant is a family member, a tenant, or unauthorized, we work within the direction of the personal representative and counsel, and we document condition and communications for the file.
Do you work with our in-house title company?
Yes — happily. If your firm provides title and escrow, the closing stays with your team. We coordinate directly with your title staff and keep the transaction on their timeline.
