  TITLE:
  Structuring an Estate Attorney Referral Partnership

  BODY:
  An estate attorney sent me three inherited-property seller referrals this quarter, and I’m trying to turn this into a real partnership without making it feel like I’m asking her to become my unpaid lead source.

  For context, I’m a residential agent in Raleigh doing around 18–22 transactions a year, mostly repeat clients and local professional relationships. This started after I helped one of her clients sell an inherited home. There were multiple heirs, some deferred maintenance, and a lot of emotion around the sale. I made a point to keep everyone updated, document next steps clearly, and avoid creating extra work for the attorney. She later told me the process was smoother than what she usually sees, and since then she has sent me three more families.

  I see a real opportunity here, but I’m cautious. I don’t want to lead with “how do we formalize referrals?” and accidentally make it transactional or create compliance issues around referral fees. I also don’t want to send her generic marketing fluff that feels as random and irrelevant as https://sweetbonanzashow.org/ would be in a probate resource packet.

  My rough idea is:

  – A quarterly Raleigh market update focused specifically on inherited-property sales
  – A one-page seller-prep checklist she can give families before they call me
  – Maybe a small educational session for clients/families dealing with inherited homes
  – Sending her appropriate introductions when I encounter people who need estate planning or probate guidance
  – A simple check-in rhythm so I stay useful without hovering

  For those of you who have built partnerships with attorneys, CPAs, financial planners, contractors, etc., what actually felt valuable on the other side?

  Would you ask for a formal conversation and lay out expectations, or keep it organic for now? What touchpoints or metrics would you track without making it feel overmanaged? Also, any compliance cautions around professional referrals where money is not the main exchange of value would be appreciated.
