Real Estate In Your Senior Years

Option 1: Get The Home Ready and Sell It

Our team can help you or your loved ones put together a comprehensive plan regarding your real estate and how that real estate will play into your long term goals. We can help you navigate step by step the transition into a new living arrangement that will best fit you or your loved ones needs.

Here is an overview of our process:

We will start with a free consultation where we will travel to your home and assess the condition of the property to see if it would make financial sense to make some changes, or if it would be most beneficial to sell the house in “as-is” condition.
We will help you understand the value of the property and assess what if any needs you might have in preparing the house for sell. Examples of this could be someone to help organize, pack, clean out, or make repairs where it makes sense. If the property needs work, we will help you with our network of vendors who can provide different options when it comes to financing the work needed.
We will put together a plan so that you understand every step of the process and how we can help you at each stage. Moving is a stressful time so let us help you take the stress out of it!
Once we get to the point of listing the house for sell, we will help educate you as to the most effective marketing tools that will be used to help you achieve your real estate goals.

Option 2: Sell The Home As Is

If you’re in a situation where your mom needs to move into an assisted living facility or you need to help her get into rehab, it can be overwhelming. We understand.

You might live out of state and be trying to help her from across the country… or you might have a job or family that doesn’t allow you to spend hours on end going through every item that is in the house or clearing everything out, decluttering, organizing things or working with vendors or contractors to fix things.

There is so much to get done and not enough hours in the day to get them done!

There is an alternative if you need money sooner than later– selling is still an option. You can choose to not do anything to the home and have someone purchase the home as-is. No need to clear everything out, clean out the house, getting professional photographers involved…

There are always things you want to consider when deciding what option is right for you. But if it’s something that needs done fast without having time or energy for all those other tasks? Reach out! We can walk you through all of the steps of what that would look like and determine if this would be best for your family.
