Most real estate agents handle an estate sale occasionally — a few times a year, when it happens to come up. Mark Jontz has handled this specific kind of transaction hundreds of times, across every situation this site covers: probate sales, Power of Attorney sales, and the more complex Committee of the Estate process. That repetition matters, because these sales involve moving parts a typical home sale doesn't — court timelines, multiple beneficiaries, lawyers and notaries who need to coordinate with the listing, and families who are often making real estate decisions during one of the harder periods of their lives.
Why this specific experience matters
An executor, attorney, or Committee doesn't get a second chance to get this right — the property usually only gets sold once, under real legal scrutiny, often with beneficiaries watching closely. Mark's approach is built around anticipating the questions and complications before they become problems: what documentation will actually be needed, how to structure a listing around a probate timeline that's still in progress, how to work alongside the family's lawyer instead of around them, and how to keep a sale moving when multiple people need to agree before anything can happen.
"You want to move out of your own volition." That's the principle Mark built his broader practice on — and in estate situations specifically, it translates to giving families clear, honest information early, so decisions get made deliberately instead of under last-minute pressure.

What working with Mark actually looks like
Every situation on this site — probate, Power of Attorney, Committee of the Estate — starts the same way: a plain conversation about where things actually stand, what's realistically possible given the timeline, and what the property itself needs before it's ready to list. Mark works directly alongside whatever lawyer or notary is already involved, rather than treating the legal and real estate sides as separate processes that happen to overlap.
