A Certified Probate Real Estate Specialist, or CPE, is a person who has gone through the training program that is designed to prepare them for the role of a probate real estate specialist. These programs vary from state to state and can take anywhere from six months to one year to complete. Most CPEs start out as assistants to licensed estate agents, who are then promoted once they have completed the required number of state training courses. Many real estate firms will also pay for the CPE’s training courses out of pocket to save on overhead costs. Qualifications In order
