Team leaders Dave and Melanie Mattes have officially earned the Certified Probate Specialist designation. This achievement, paired with their existing Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) credentials, solidifies the team as the premier choice for families facing the complexities of inherited property and late-life transitions.
For those managing an estate or helping aging parents downsize, the emotional and legal hurdles can be overwhelming. By combining probate expertise with decades of sales expertise, the Dave Mattes Team offers a whole-family approach that bridges the gap between legal requirements and personal needs.
These advanced designations provide the team with specialized tools to assist clients better than ever before. As Certified Probate Specialists, the team understands the intricate legal timelines, court requirements, and documentation necessary to sell inherited property.
They work seamlessly with estate attorneys and executors to ensure a smooth sale that maximizes the estate’s value while minimizing delays. With the SRES designation, Dave and Melanie are uniquely qualified to assist clients aged 50+ through the emotional process of downsizing or relocating to assisted living.
They understand the nuances of Social Security, reverse mortgages, and the delicate family dynamics involved in these moves. Clients gain access to a curated network of trusted professionals, including estate planners, clean-out services, and elder-care experts.
“Our goal has always been to be more than just Realtors; we strive to be trusted advisors for our community,” Dave Mattes said. “These new certifications allow us to provide a level of protection and peace of mind for families during what is often one of the most stressful periods of their lives.”
In a market where experience matters, the Dave Mattes Team of eight Realtors consistently ranks among the top in Berks County, winning the RE/MAX Diamond Club Team Award for 2025 for exceeding $1 million in gross commissions within a single calendar year, and coming in fifth place in total commissions in all of Pennsylvania among RE/MAX teams.
Whether you are an attorney looking for a reliable partner for your clients, or a family member tasked with managing a loved one’s legacy, the team’s dual-specialization ensures that your real estate assets are in the most capable hands.
For anyone dealing with inherited property, estate settlements, or downsizing for aging parents, the Dave Mattes Team is ready to guide you home.
