Question 1

How do we start the conversation about selling Mom or Dad's home?

Accepted Answer

Start by listening. Focus on their goals, safety, and comfort rather than the logistics of the sale. We recommend having a calm family meeting before making any decisions.

Question 2

Should we sell the home before moving to senior living?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your financial situation and care needs. Selling first frees up equity, but moving first allows for a less stressful, vacant home sale.

Question 3

Does the home need to be updated before we sell it?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. Many longtime homes are sold as-is. We can help you evaluate if minor repairs will yield a return on investment or if selling without repairs is the better choice.
