# What is CPRES

C.P.R.E.S. stands for Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist.

It’s a professional certification for real estate agents who want to specialize in probate real estate properties that must be sold after a homeowner passes away and the estate goes through 
probate court.

CPRES is trained to:

* Work with executors, administrators, heirs, and attorneys
* Understand the probate process and court timelines
* Handle the legal, emotional, and logistical challenges of probate sales
* Properly market and sell estate properties while staying compliant
* Why agents get CPRES-certified:
* Probate listings are often low competition & high value
* Builds credibility with attorneys and estate professionals
* Positions the agent as a niche expert, not a generalist
