Guiding Families Through Probate with Care and Understanding: A Personal Journey

Hi, I’m Bobby Vasilev, the creator and team lead of Bobby Vasilev | Probate Real Estate Services. When my mother lost her battle with cancer in 2005, our family faced not only the grief of her passing but also the overwhelming burden of probate. The process was confusing, stressful, and emotionally draining. It was during this difficult time that I realized just how challenging probate can be for families already coping with loss.

This personal experience inspired me to dedicate my career to making probate real estate as smooth and stress-free as possible for those going through what my family did. Today, as a Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist in Illinois, I combine my deep understanding of the probate process with a genuine commitment to easing the burden on families like yours.

I’m here not just as a realtor but as someone who understands the emotional weight of this journey. Whether you’re managing an estate from out of state, dealing with deferred maintenance, or just feeling overwhelmed, I’m by your side to guide you through every step.

My goal is simple: to provide the support and expertise you need to navigate probate with ease, so you can focus on what truly matters—honoring your loved one’s legacy.

Thank you for allowing my team to assist you during this difficult time!
