Transitioning your loved one from their family home or even your home, to retirement community or an assisted living community, takes a lot of time and preparation. You have to get the home ready for sale including making repairs, decluttering and downsizing. And, if your aging parent has lived in the home for decades, there will be a lot of things to pack, donate and throw away.
You have your own job, family and household to handle, so finding the time to help your loved one transition can be a challenge. It can take weeks, even months to move, so consider hiring a senior real estate and relocation specialist. They can alleviate the stress of selling and moving with a single-point-of-contact, streamlined process for a time-saving solution for your senior’s move. A senior real estate and relocation service can help you sell your home, get the right price, make repairs, help downsize, pack, prepare for tag or estate sales and hire a mover.
Time isn’t the only reason to hire a senior relocation service. Senior relocation specialists are trained to work directly with aging seniors and their family members to help all involved through the emotional aspects of moving.
Senior real estate and relocation specialists provide a respectful, professional service, but because they are not emotionally invested, can focus on the task at hand without attaching sentimentality to the situation. If you find yourself short on time and working on emotion, let a professional step in and make the transition process anxiety-free for you and your parents.
Though every senior real estate and relocation provider offers different services, here are some options to look for:
• Conduct detailed home assessment
• Match you with a list of realtors
• Review home pricing options and help you make the best agent choice
• Assess home repairs and updates; coordinate the work once the house is for sale
• Coordinate downsizing, decluttering, packing and moving
• Plan tag, estate sales and donations
• Find senior housing
