Fantastic experience: Working with Marcos Vargas was a pleasure; he was very helpful even before they got the contract. We were in contact since we hit probate, I knew from the beginning they were the ones I would use. His guidance was great, and definitely needed; he was not only a source of much-needed guidance, but also a great sounding board for ALL our issues. If anyone is in need of a realtor who gives a hundred percent, and then some, with a heart of gold and personality to boot, look no further than Marcos Vargas, my only regret, is the relationship will end at some point. Thanks for all your support ❤️!
Thank you, Gordon, for your kind words. We truly appreciate the trust you placed in us to help sell your mother's home in Moreno Valley. It has been a pleasure working with you and your family.
Fantastic experience: Marcos was helpful, knowledgeable and really helped us get things done. Appreciate everything Marcos!
Thank you, Mark! It was a pleasure working with you and your sister to sell your mother's co-op in Laguna Woods Village. I know it's a lot to handle, and I'm glad I could help make the process easier for your family. I truly appreciate your trust, and I'm always here if you need anything.
Fantastic experience: It was a journey to sell my mom’s house but Marcos Vargas was there to help every step of the way. He is very knowledgeable and always available to answer the many questions I had. If you are looking for a realtor that is reliable, easy to communicate with, and genuinely cares about your specific situation, I highly recommend Marcos Vargas
Thank you for your kind words. We were happy to be a part of your journey and help with your mom's Laguna Woods Village home.
Fantastic experience: Our Probate situation was complicated because of the location of the home. The Probate Brothers had expert knowledge and resources to handle many varied issues. They also have an outstanding crew of workers who did an excellent job. Knowledgeable, trustworthy, great communication skills, reliable, and personable. I would highly lll recommend them.
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of meeting Eduardo at the Tom Ferry Success Summit, and I was immediately impressed by his professionalism, integrity, and genuine desire to serve others. He takes the time to listen, build relationships, and truly understand each client’s needs. If you’re looking for a Realtor who specializes in probate real estate, estate sales, trust sales, inherited property, or helping families navigate the probate process, Eduardo is someone I’d confidently recommend. His knowledge, patience, and compassionate approach make him an excellent resource during what can often be a difficult transition. Beyond real estate, Eduardo is simply a great person; honest, approachable, and committed to doing the right thing. I’m grateful we connected and look forward to seeing his continued success.
Great Meeting you today Charles.
Fantastic experience: Ed And Marcos Vargas helped me sell my 2 properties in probate located in the city of Riverside. Thanks to Ed’s understanding of the court confirmation process I was able to understand every step of the process and remain confident in the outcome.
Thank you Max for trusting us with selling your late uncles' properties in probate.
Fantastic experience: Marcos and Ed helped me to sell a probate property in Riverside, California... As the story goes, my sister passed away in January 2025 with no will or trust. Therefore, I had to go through the very long and difficult process of probate. To make matters worse, I live in Northern California 400 miles away. I started calling realtors in the Riverside area. After contacting several, I hit upon Probate Brothers. During my first contact with Marcos Vargas, I was impressed with his knowledge of the probate process, along with his willingness to help me through it all, as I was unable to go to Southern California. Marcos, Ed and their team helped with everything: paperwork, escrow company, probate attorney, home clean out, and repair handymen. Daily they were available to define procedures and get help. In facilitating the sale of this home, this added service was invaluable. I cannot say enough about Marcos and Ed Vargas, Probate Brothers. . . . . They are full service!! If you are looking for a realtor that knows the probate process and will work to sell your home, I highly recommend them. Raymond Ogden Pioneer, California
Thank you Ray for the opportunity. We really appreciate you putting your trust in us to assist with your sister's property in Riverside.
Fantastic experience: Francis and the probate brothers helped me purchase a great home in Riverside. Working with them was an amazing experience from start to finish. They made the entire process smooth and stress-free, always making sure I was taken care of every step of the way. I’m truly grateful for all their hard work and dedication, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for great realtors who genuinely care and go above and beyond. Thank you team.
Thank you Bryan. We hope that you enjoy and create wonderful moments in your new home!
Fantastic experience: Ed was very helpful and knowledgeable in helping us procure our new home on 21st Street in Costa Mesa. Looking forward to closing more deals with him in the future.
Thank you Hunter. It was a pleasure working with you. We hope you enjoy your new home.
Fantastic experience: Marcos Vargas represented me as the real estate agent for my late mother’s probate estate, helping me sell her home in Beaumont, CA. He has my highest regard and it is my pleasure to recommend him and his services to anyone. Do to a set of unfortunate circumstances, my late mother died unbeknownst to anyone in her home. Her home was not in a proper trust, nor did she have a last will and testament. Marcos is one of the “Probate Brothers” in Orange County, having specialized expertise in selling real estate within the unique confines of the rules and procedures of the state court system that deals with probate, trust, and conservatorship. This system may not be broken, but it is definitely not efficient. Just as I would not recommend navigating probate without a good attorney, I would also not recommend selling property within probate with an agent that did not have this specialized experience. For example, Marcos always called and told me when a particular probate ruling was issued by the court before my attorney even knew. It became a joke I had between me and my attorney – telling him I had a “guy on the inside.” Another time, Marcos was going by the Riverside County courthouse on other business and took the time to pick me up an official stamped copy of my “Letters of Administration” for the estate, to save me the 3 hour round trip drive from Orange County. The home was listed during the end of 2025, with high interest rates and the economic uncertainty from the United States’ constantly changing tariff diplomacy. There were at least 15 other new homes comparable in the same large developed community in Beaumont. There was nothing exceptional about the property. I’m sure potential buyers were referring to it as the “one where the lady died.” – an obvious liability, as we had to disclose hazmat cleanup. The exceptional difference, obviously, was Marcos. He did his rain dance and it rained. He brought in a buyer, he negotiated a good price in a challenging market and we left those 15 other homes in the dust. I’m sure the escrow team he brought in was top tier, however, I never actually got to know any of them, as Marcos continued to shepherd the deal through this final faze as well. At one point during escrow, he had to gently “flex” on the buyer with a Notice to Perform to keep everything moving along, but I’m sure he was kind to them too. Relentlessly cheerful & upbeat, professional and detail oriented.
Thank you for such a thorough review of everything we did to help sell your probate property. We're glad we exceeded your expectation during the process and we're especially thrilled that you appreciated our attention to detail.
Fantastic experience: Working with Marcos was an excellent experience. He and his brother were knowledgeable, responsive, and made the entire process smooth from start to finish. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Thank you Kinsen. We appreciate your trust in us to help sell your brother's San Bernardino property.
Fantastic experience: The Probate brothers went above and beyond to help me every step of the way. They were knowledgeable, responsive, and truly cared about making sure everything was handled properly. I couldn’t have asked for better service. . “I had a great experience working with them. They made the entire process smooth and much less stressful than I expected. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy agent.”
Thank you Quentilla for hiring us to sell your Grandmother's Seal Beach Coop.
Fantastic experience: The Probate Bro's have been such a blessing to me and my family. These Brothers are awesome and they are always there when ever you need them. I feel like The Probate Bro's have became our family for life. When ever we need something done we are calling on The Probate Bro's.
Fantastic experience: Eduardo and Marcos Vargas helped me sell my probate property in the City of Fullerton and I couldn't be happier. Ed and Marcos went above and beyond. Ed and Marcos are most knowledgeable in the real estate market and I would not use anyone else. They are honest and trustworthy. Ed and Marcos understand the probate process and keeps you informed through the whole process of selling your home. You can rest assured you have the right guys if you hire Ed and Marcos to sell your property. Thank you probate brothers for making life easier for me. Probate is stressful enough and you helped me immensely. A+ all the way
Your welcome Gia. We are grateful to have had the opportunity to guide you and your family every step of the way through the probate process.
Fantastic experience: Ed and Marcos helped me with the sale of my property in probate in the East Side of Costa Mesa, Orange County CA. They helped with fixing the garage doors, coordinated estate sale, and prepared the home for the sale. Ed and Marcos kept me informed the whole process, offers and I highly recommend them when selling your home in probate. Ann Rowe
Thank you for your kind words, Ann. It was a pleasure to help your family sell the property in probate located in the city of Costa Mesa, Orange County CA.
Fantastic experience: Most realtors are personable, but Marcos goes above and beyond. Probate cases are fraught with drama and grueling for the administrator (me). Marcos was a compassionate friend and go-between, a quick thinker with the wise answers, and even rolled up his own sleeves to help out in the moving process. He can be reached 24/7 from start to finish in the entire probate process, not just the active phase of property sales. My properties were in Silver Lake (Los Angeles) and Laguna Beach.
Thank you Linda. Ed and I appreciate the opportunity to help you with both properties.
Fantastic experience: Very good service. Process was very easy. They did a great job
Hello Lan, It was a pleasure helping you with the sale of your property in the city of Westminster!
Fantastic experience: Marcos and Ed helped me sell my property in Santa Ana recently, and words cannot express the patience and empathy that the Probate Brothers gave our family. They were not interested in a "quick sale" of our home. The emotional decision of selling our property that had been in our family for 3 generations was a lot. And when the decision was finally made, the Probate brothers were there, especially Marcos. He was there each step of the sale and closing process. Thank you for everything you do! You are appreciated, and I wish the Probate Brothers continued success in this industry!
Thank you Tina, it was great having an opportunity to not only help you with sale of your family home but getting to know your boys.
Fantastic experience: Marcos and Ed were absolutely fantastic in handling the probate sale of my late uncle’s property. From start to finish, they demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and genuine care throughout the entire process. They made everything seamless and stress-free. Their communication was excellent—they kept me informed at every step and answered all my questions with patience and clarity. Their market knowledge and negotiation skills ensured we got the best possible outcome. I truly appreciate their dedication and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy team. Thank you, Marcos and Ed, for your hard work and support during this difficult time!
Travis we appreciate you. Your uncle had a great property with tremendous potential in Cypress.
Fantastic experience: Wish I could mark off 10 stars!! From the very first phone call I received until the closing of escrow, the Probate Brothers were outstanding, giving me EXCEPTIONAL service, with genuine kind support. Going through Probate can be extremely overwhelming and difficult, especially in a hoarding disaster situation. Marcos has extraordinary knowledge and incredible connections to streamline the entire process. With his positive attitude and energy, Marcos stood side by side with me to declutter, trash, donate and clean every inch of the house and it turned out amazing! The house went up for sale "As Is" and had over 15 offers. We sold for full price and closed in 21 days!!! Good customer service is hard to find these days, GREAT customer service is rare.....Probate Brothers are INCREDIBLE!
Thank you Kim for you kind words. Ed and I really appreciated your confidence in us throughout the entire process. We are happy that you enjoyed working with us.
Fantastic experience: Selling my sister's property remotely after her passing was a challenging endeavor, but the Probate Brothers made the process remarkably straightforward. Their kindness and extensive knowledge were invaluable. As a realtor operating in another state, managing this transaction from afar was daunting, yet they handled everything with compassion and efficiency, easing the burden during a difficult time. Marcos, my primary contact, was exceptional. I wholeheartedly recommend the Probate Brothers for any real estate needs.
Thank you Suzi! We enjoyed working with you as well and glad you were happy with the process.
Fantastic experience: I’m truly grateful for the exceptional service provided by Ed and Marcos in helping us sell our properties located in Garden Grove and Westminster during the probate process. Their patience, helpfulness, and professionalism made the entire experience so much easier. They were always honest and transparent, offering guidance every step of the way. I couldn’t have asked for a better agent and highly recommend their services to anyone looking to buy or sell!
Thank you Luc. We are grateful for your trust.
Ed and Marcos
Fantastic experience: We recently had the pleasure of working with outstanding probate realtor Ed Vargas- The Probate Brothers, who helped us sale three of our homes in probate and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. From start to finish, the process was done efficiently and in a timely manner, which we truly appreciated. What stood out to us the most was the transparency throughout. Ed kept us informed at every step, ensuring we understood everything happening with each sale. This level of communication made a potentially stressful situation so much easier to navigate. Not only did Ed and his Team work diligently to get the best prices for our properties, but Ed also provided invaluable insights and support throughout the entire process. If you’re looking for a reliable and professional probate realtor, I completely recommend this team- The Probate Brothers! They made selling our homes a seamless experience and we are incredibly grateful for their expertise and dedication.
Thank you Leena for the kind words. It was a pleasure working with your family and helping you sell your Santa Ana properties in probate.

Thank you Vicki. Ed and I enjoyed working with you on selling your Brother's home in Anaheim.
Fantastic experience: Ed Vargas has been an absolute pleasure to work with!! He handled every detail of the sale of our house in Hemet with the utmost skill and professionalism! He was dependable and gave sound advice whenever we had questions. Ed and the Probate Brothers know their stuff!!
Was a privilege helping your family sell the home in the trust. You did a great job preparing the home for the sale.
Fantastic experience: Ed Vargus helped me sell my brother's home in a trust in the city of Huntington Beach CA. Ed explained all my options and the possible outcomes on the sale. He was always available to answer my questions...right away. He was just a joy to work with.
It was a pleasure working with you Connie.
Negative experience: Knowingly listing things below value to drum up business/multiple offers. Seems disingenuous at the very least.
Fantastic experience: Ed and the entire team were a pleasure to work with. House hunting can be a very stressful time, however they made it very easy going. Thank you Ed for everything!
It was a pleasure working with your family Josh! Thank you for placing your trust with us.
Fantastic experience: Marcos and Ed have been helping me free of charge! For all sorts of things I highly recommend them!
Please working with you Brian. Ed and Marcos
Fantastic experience: Ed Vargas is a Rock Star! We worked with the Probate Brothers to sell our property in Nuevo California and I thought it would be challenging as we reside out of state and needed someone who can take care of everything in California for us and they knocked it out of the Park! Ed has a ton of knowledge of the probate process and how to position everything for the best financial result for us. He took the time to explain each step and help us understand all the processes. Ed also has a lot of patience as I had a lot of questions and concerns through the process and Ed was there for us every time! What a great experience. We also needed a cash sale for our property and this is something the probate brothers specialize in and again they knocked it out of the park bringing us cash offers for our “As Is” property! I Can’t speak highly enough about our experience and result!
Thank you Dan. It was a pleasure working with you.
Probate Brothers
Fantastic experience: The Property Brothers did a fantastic job helping sell our probate property in Nuevo. We had a complex situation with renters that needed to be evicted and a property needing to be sold as it. Since we are live out of state, we wanted brokers who would help us through each step of the process. Ed worked hard on our behalf, and we are very pleased at the result and would highly recommend.
Thank you Sabrina! We enjoyed helping you sell your probate home in the city of Nuevo!
Probate Brothers
Fantastic experience: Ed Vargas helped sell our home in probate in the city of Jurupa Valley. They helped make the process easy and understandable.

Thank you Liza and Ryan for trusting us in the sale of your home in Probate!

Thank You. It was a pleasure helping you sell your home probate located in the city of Buena Park!
Ed and Marcos
Fantastic experience: Eduardo and Marcos Vargas helped me sell my Sisters house in Probate in the city of Buena Park. They made the process easy and effortless. My attorney referred another Realtor but after interviewing Ed and Marcos I felt confident about selecting them. I highly recommend the Probate Brothers when you sell your home in Probate.
It was a pleasure helping your family sell the probate home in the city of Buena Park. We look forward to continuing to help your family in all of your real estate needs.
Ed
Fantastic experience: Ed and Marcos saved me many hours on the plane handling the sale of my property on the Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach. They referred me to an estate sale company and arranged to have the property cleaned and all the junk hauled away. I would list with them again. Thanks guys!
Thank you Robert. It was a pleasure to help you sell your home on the Balboa Peninsula! That view on the home towards the Balboa Bay is Awesome!
Fantastic experience: My wife Lisa and I highly recommend Ed and Marcos whether you are buying or selling. I have many years servicing real estate professionals so choosing a team to represent us posed a challenge. We couldn’t have made a better decision when we listed and sold our Santa Ana home with team Vargas. Both are extremely responsive, attentive to all details and are proactive. If there was anything that needed taken care of in the transaction we knew Ed and Marcos were already involved. We appreciate their professionalism and are pleased to call them our fiends.
We are honored to be your friends. Marcos and I appreciate the opportunity to help you sell your beautiful home in North Tustin.
Fantastic experience: My husband and I couldn't be happier with the service we received from Ed Vargas in assisting us with selling my father's home after his passing. It was a difficult situation with not only his passing, but having to go through probate and having a reverse mortgage on his home. All things which we were not familiar with. We also live out of state and have relied on him through the entire process to represent us when we haven't been able to be there. Ed was extremely knowledgeable with the probate system, referred us to a wonderful probate attorney, advised us of the processes and helped us get much more than we thought we would receive from the sale of dad's home. He advised us that we didn't need to put a lot in it and saved us money and time we didn't have. He has been extremely prompt and quick to answer any of our questions and has been available via phone/email/text whenever we have needed him. We highly recommend Ed and Marcos Vargas for your realtor needs - especially in a probate situation. Honestly, the process couldn't have gone smoother and we are so thankful for them helping guide us through the whole process.
It was a pleasure working for your family. We are grateful you decided to work with us.
Fantastic experience: Thank you Probate Brothers Ed and Marcos for helping me sell my sister's home. The constant communication and coordination of remodeling the home for sale exceeded my expectation. Living far from the home the Probate Brothers made the complicated probate process easy and effortless. Thank you Ed and Marcos.
Thank you for trusting us with the sale of your late Sisters home. It was a pleasure working with you.
Fantastic experience: Ed Vargas is a pro at what he does. Everything was taken care of for me on time and got me a higher purchase price than I expected. I would definitely recommend him and his team. Great work! Thanks Ed!
It was a pleasure working for your family.
Fantastic experience: Ed and Marcos Vargas are wonderful. They are indeed angels on the earth. When our immediate family member recently passed away in California unexpectedly, they walked us through, with expertise and patience, the sale of our family member’s home. Due to the Covid restrictions in place at that time and the Probate and with us being out of State, the sale of the home was extremely complicated and arduous for us to accomplish. Ed and Marcos thankfully came to our rescue and made it all possible. There are no words encompassing enough to adequately express our gratitude for their professionalism, knowledge expertise, empathy and kindness that helped our family with this sale during a very difficult time. I highly recommend them. They top the charts! The Probate Brothers “rock.”
Thank you Myles and Annette. We are grateful that we were able to help your family. Thank you for the generous gift of the signed baseball from Ted Williams!
Fantastic experience: Hard working honorable knowledgeable. made a difficult process smooth as possible. highly recommend mr. Ed Vargas and the team at probate brothers. (((myles)))
Thank You Myles. It was a pleasure working for your family.
Fantastic experience: Probate Brothers have been helping me with my Brother’s home sale. The services I received have exceeded my expectations. They are very prompt in handling any of my requests and are great on following up. Their knowledge of probate and estate issues is excellent. This has been a learning experience having to go through this. Marco and Ed have really been a great asset to me. As a Out of state Client Ed and Marco let me know how things would happen along the way. This was a smooth process the whole way. Thanks
It was great working with you Duane. We are grateful you selected us with the sale of your Brothers home.
Fantastic experience: I am the family trustee. Many thanks to Probate Brothers for expertly and compassionately selling my parent’s home. Probate Brothers are truly accomplished in probate, trust and conservatorship sales plus have a tremendous amount of compassion and sympathy. Selling the home you grew up in is very stressful. Probate Brothers ensured my comfort with each step of the preparation and selling process. There army of services got the job done. I was repeatedly put at ease when Ed and Marcos would say “We have someone that can do that.” or “I will take care of that.” My family and I would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Probate Brothers for making us feel like family!!! Thank you.
It was a privilege to help your family. We are grateful that you selected us out of so many realtors. Thank you Nico.
Fantastic experience: The Eduardo Brothers are the best. They were there for us at the toughest time in our lives. They sold my Parent's house and got us top dollars. We are very happy with them and recommend them to everyone!
Thank you Homan for such kind words. It was a privilege to help you sell your parents home.
Fantastic experience: I could not be happier with my decision to hire Ed Vargas of Probate Brothers. From start to finish, he has been exceptional in all aspects of selling our property. My father passed away in January 2021 due to Covid and cancer. Immediately after the probate was filed in court, I began to be contacted by a variety of real estate brokers about selling my dad’s condo in Orange. Ed Vargas of Probate Brothers was one of the people who contacted me. Primarily because he was willing to help answer a variety of questions I had, even before we had hired him, and because of his obvious command of the probate process as well as the local Orange County housing market, I decided to hire him. Right from the start, Ed did everything to make the process as easy, pleasant, and profitable as was possible. Although we had our own contractors look at the property to decide what work needed to be done prior to listing the condo, we ultimately went with the contractor Ed suggested as well as doing just the repairs and improvements that Ed suggested. The work was done quickly, exceptionally, and resulted in far more money in return based on a vastly improved selling price. In addition, I live about 90 minutes away from my dad’s condo, so although I can drive down to handle things as necessary there, LA traffic being what it is, avoiding that drive was a huge bonus. Once the repairs got underway, Ed supervised the project and allowed me to avoid repeatedly driving down to the condo to keep tabs on the process. Once the repairs were done, Ed made some very insightful suggestions about the listing price. His suggestions were absolutely correct and the condo sold in no time with many offers well above the listing price. I could go on about the details about how Ed handled this entire process, but suffice it to say that he was honest, sincere, hard-working, and frankly was a virtual psychic in terms of how well his predictions of what would happen during the process. I don’t have any other properties to sell, but if I did, I would go back to Ed and Probate Brothers without hesitation. They are just fantastic in every respect.
Thank you Michael. It was a pleasure working for your family.
Fantastic experience: Good team to work with. They stuck with me thru the confirmation of sale.
Thank you for trusting us with the sale of your parents home.
Fantastic experience: I'm a client from out of state, my agent was Marcos. The probate process was difficult but Marcos and my lawyer they were very helpful and with covid-19 the court system was slow. Thanks to Marcos and probate Brothers. Job well done thank you.
Was a pleasure working for your Family Derrek!
Fantastic experience: The Probate Brother’s system is quick, efficient, and moves with ease! We live in northern California, so our Probate was handled with about 400 miles distance between us. We had an in person interview with Ed and Marcos, and it was clear from the git that they were both honest and motivated. We were in quite a difficult situation, so we needed someone well versed in Probate. They fit the bill perfectly! Ed and Marcos were able to quickly pull us out of murky waters, and this saved us a lot of headache, time, and money. They advised us on what we could do with the property to get it back in order. We needed their advise, expertise, and resources. They came through for us every step of the way! The property sold for over asking and we were very pleased with the deal! Ed stood strong as our selling agent, especially when it came to negotiations with the buyer. Ed even graciously corrected our lawyer on timing in probate. My husband and I highly recommend the Probate Brothers, they are a top notch team!
Thank you for trusting us with the sale your home in Probate.
Fantastic experience: As an out-of-state homeowner I was very fortunate to come in contact with Ed. He was very professional and made what I thought would be a huge headache, a very smooth and stress free experience. My property was sold within a few days and escrow was closed in less than a month. I have bought and sold a number of properties in my life time and I will have to say that dealing with the Property Brothers was by far the best experience that I have had. I would highly recommend them for your Real Estate needs.
Hey Jon, Thank you for trusting the Process. We are fortunate to earn your business.
Fantastic experience: Ed and Marcos were absolutely amazing! They were the answer to our out-of-state probate challenges. They provided more guidance and availability than even our legal counsel as we navigated through unchartered waters. Being from another state, they stepped up and stepped in when we could not be there for any situation that arose, even when it had nothing to do with the sale of the home. We trusted them every step of the way and they represented us with the highest level of professionalism, integrity, expediency and dependability. We just cannot say enough about these two men. We are both honored to have met you and immensely grateful for your service to us. I have not even mentioned that they sold our home swiftly and negotiated the best possible deal for us. This was accomplished through wise counsel and preparation prior to listing and continued wisdom and a natural instinct to understand the market and buyer strategies. My wife and I highly recommend Ed and Marcos, they will not let you down!
It was a pleasure working with you Brian! Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Ed Vargas experience in Real Estate truly shined with the sale of our North Tustin home. Within 2 days we had 7 offers all above asking price. This is a market that was exploding in 2021. He had advise where to price our home from other professionals, we had comps from the neighborhood. But, due to the "crazy" market, my husband wanted to price high and Ed agreed, he said "you guys, let's do it and I would like to see a bidding war and get you $100,000 over asking price!". That's just what happened. Every step of the way, he was timely, responsive with great advice along the way. The team he worked with was additionally outstanding.
So happy working with your family. You did a wonderful job remodeling your home!
Fantastic experience: I worked with Marcos and Ed in selling a rental property I had. I was dealing with a terrible situation with a squatter and covid laws and desperately needed to sell the property. They helped deal with the terrible situation and made selling the property easy. They were always quick to respond and patient with my questions, I would recommend them any day! Thanks again guys!!
Heather I am glad we were up for the task of helping sell your condo. Yes, it was an experience! We are grateful for the opportunity to serve your family.
Fantastic experience: Everyone understands the known stressors that come with selling a house. Triple that stress when you're in the position of selling the home of someone you love. I was put in that position when my father was diagnosed with dementia. Being assigned the conservator of my father brought on new challenges, including dealing with his estate and selling his house. When looking for a realtor, you want someone professional and reliable. What you get with Ed and Marcos Vargas (the Probate Brothers) is a team of experienced, dedicated realtors whose attention to detail and knowledge of the housing market and the court system will help you get the most from the successful sale of your home. When Marcos first contacted me, I doubted that I would need him. Having a family member and a friend as realtors, I envisioned using them to sell the house. Then I realized the complex court process ahead, and I knew that I need a realtor with expertise in the court system. Ed actively listened to me and answered the abundant questions that I had about the process. He was honest and discussed the strategies that they would take as my agent to sell the house and get me through the court process. The Probate Brothers created a listing portfolio of the house that highlighted the most desirable aspects of this 25-year-old home. Through the portfolio and their presentation, they showed me the exceptional work they would do to sell the house. They did all this before I signed with them, which showed me how serious they were in doing an outstanding job, and all of this paid off with the sale of the house well over the listing price. COVID-19 turned the court system upside down, but Ed navigated the courts with a knowledge base that surpassed that of our conservatorship lawyer and kept things moving forward. My schedule is sporadic, and with two small kids, Ed and Marcos worked around my needs and made the process easier with their excellent communication and flexibility in scheduling time with me. The attention to detail and resources helped us get an astonishing number of showings. They were able to problem-solving through the ever-changing county COVID mandates showing me that they were dependable in getting the job done despite the changing task. They were reliable and showed up to court on time for the sale of the house. They anticipated the paperwork that the Judge would request and had everything ready for the conservator lawyer. The moment the Judge made his ruling, everything was completed because of Ed's competency. Because of the Probate Brothers' efficiency, the money was in the account within 48 hours. Thank you
Thank you Kimberly for allowing us to serve your family.
Fantastic experience: Ed and his team helped us sell the house that was in probate. The house got sold for the highest price around the neighborhood for the comparables. The seller had requested some repairs and my original contractor couldn't repair it in time. Ed and his team came through and helped smooth out that process. We were able to close in time and that made us very happy!
We are grateful to work for your family.
Fantastic experience: We were on the verge of accepting a FSBO offer on our home, then we talked to Ed. He convinced us he could sell it for more -- and he did, about $100,00 more! He was always honest and professional and I'm so happy to have met him. He helped us through a situation where the house was in ill-repair with his extensive contacts in the real estate investor community. 100% recommend.
Wow Phil! Everybody wanted to purchase your home with such a large lot. Thank you for trusting us. We are grateful.

Thank you Maria. It was a pleasure working with your family.
Fantastic experience: My mother passed away in April of 2020, and her house had to be sold through probate. I had no idea how to go about finding an experienced probate realtor, but I was fortunate enough to be contacted directly by Marcos. He explained things to me in a manner that was easy to understand, and mailed me court documents that I would need. There was never any pressure, and when we met to list the home for sale, both Ed and Marcos were extremely helpful, and able to answer any questions we had. We knew they were the realtors we wanted to use. They made suggestions on minor improvements that would lead to a quicker sale, priced the house competitively, and negotiated a selling price above the listing price. They were cooperative in communicating with our probate attorney, and Ed was just a text or phone call away anytime we had a question or problem. I feel that not only did we meet great realtors, but we became friends through this process. I would highly recommend The Probate Brothers!
It was a pleasure working for your family.
Fantastic experience: I used Ed and Marcos Vargas for selling a house during probate. I highly recommend them. They are very knowledgeable regarding the probate procedure. They responded to every e-mail, text and phone call in a timely manner. They helped me with ideas for updating the property, which turned out to be very good choices. They helped during their own time with some painting and cleaning at the property. They really made a difficult time easier for me. We sold the property very quickly and within the price range we were looking for. Definitely think about using the Ed and Marcos for the sale of your property.
It was a pleasure to work with you Susan.
Fantastic experience: Ed and Albert are the best, for being first time home buyers we didn’t know anything about anything. They really helped us understand what the process was and any questions we had were answered almost immediately. Their dedication to their work is outstanding! I really appreciate the patience they had with us and all of our questions. Highly recommend working with them and I look forward to working with them again in our future home buying or selling endeavors. Thank you so much Ed and Albert!!
Great working with you and Jesus.
Fantastic experience: When my son passed away unexpectedly and I became administrator to his estate in California, GOD sent me Ed Vargas. Not only was I grieving but was facing an impossible task of selling his home while I lived in another state. Ed evaluated the property needs, found me very reasonably priced people to fulfill those needs, and supervised the work being done. The property sold quickly and Ed actively negotiated a sales price that turned out to be higher than the appraised value. At all times, Ed was available to me by phone and worked in my family's best interest. I am writing this in hopes that it helps others to choose the right realtor, especially at a time when you really need someone to help you instead of taking advantage of you. GOD bless the Vargas brothers. Thanks for all you did for us.
It was a pleasure working with you Becky.
Ed
Fantastic experience: Ed was the only agent who worked to get our business. He stayed the course and stayed in touch without being overbearing and walked our family through the process which was a huge help. He answered all our questions and was able to keep us moving towards our goal of selling our property within the probate process. Could not be happier with our decision to go with Ed. If your looking for a helpful, knowledgeable and professional real estate agent Ed can fit the bill.
Hey Jeff, I really appreciate the trust and support you have for my business . I know this was not an easy process to go through with the family. I'm here for you anytime you need Real Estate help.
