How do I know whether an agent has actually handled an estate or probate sale in Saskatoon?

Ask the agent for two or three specific inherited-property sales they closed, including how they coordinated with the estate's lawyer around the Court of King's Bench grant of probate. A real answer names the legal steps, not just the number of past sales.

An agent experienced with estates should be able to explain, without prompting, how a conditional offer tied to the probate grant works, why Information Services Corporation cannot update title until the grant issues, and how the Family Property Act or Homesteads Act, 1989 can affect who signs.

Ask how they price a home when the family does not know what renovations were done or permitted, since that is the exact gap between public records and reality on most inherited homes. A vague answer here is a sign the agent has not actually done this work.

Joel Dyck's hand-reviewed valuation process was built for this problem: walking the property, documenting real condition, and pricing against comparables rather than a public-record estimate. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
