Need to Move Quickly?

Are you a homeowner who needs to move quickly, or helping a loved one who does?

You may already have a lot on your plate navigating a sudden change in health, ongoing health challenges or the loss of a loved one. An unplanned move from your home on top of that can feel like too much. You may feel overwhelmed, exhausted or not know where to start. Those feelings are normal, and feeling guided and supported throughout the process makes all the difference.

You’ll have an experienced advocate in your corner the whole way.

When a Move Can’t Wait

For downsizers, a quick move most often follows a change in health, the loss of a partner, or the need to move closer to care or in with family members.

A change in health, when it’s no longer safe to live at home. For example, a fall and the health conditions that follow can mean someone is unable to safely return home.
A hospital or rehab stay, when more care is needed than home can provide.
Losing a spouse or partner and not being able to manage the home alone.
Needing to be closer to family, whether for the homeowner’s health or to help a family member through a hard season.
A wait-list opening in a preferred senior community that needs to be taken soon.

How We Help

How we help, even from a hospital or rehab room

Coordinating an action plan based on your individual situation, starting with one conversation.
Communication with stakeholders in the homeowner’s best interest, such as family members, POA or trustee, even when family lives out of state.
Gathering the paperwork for you. If you’re in the hospital or can’t get to your documents, we can work with your family or the professionals who helped set them up, with your permission, to get copies to the title company.
Orchestrating the right help. Whether you want to handle some of it yourself or need full support from packing to selling, we orchestrate the right help based on what you need.
Ensuring your home is ready for the market and shown in its best light, or selling it as-is when that’s the better fit.
Lining up and coordinating contractors, if needed, and ensuring follow-through.
Negotiating on your behalf throughout the sales process.

Where to Begin

First steps you can take today

1Call or text us. You don’t need to have everything figured out first.
2Find key documents. If the home is in a trust or LLC, or a power of attorney will sign, find a copy of those documents for the title company. If you don’t have access to these documents right away, that’s okay. We will work with you to locate them.
3Set aside what will definitely make the move with you, like important papers, medications and everyday essentials, so they don’t get mixed in with everything else.
4Be cautious of “we buy houses” calls and postcards. Let us review any offer first.

Getting calls or postcards offering cash for the house?

Seniors are often targeted by “we buy houses” calls and postcards. We review any offer free of charge and help you understand your home’s value, so you can make an informed decision about your options.

Common Questions

Can we sell the house while Mom or Dad is in the hospital or rehab?

Often, yes. Family can help with many of the steps, and when the homeowner is able, they’ll sign the final paperwork themselves. If they can’t, a power of attorney that covers financial decisions, or other legal documentation such as a trust that names a trustee, may allow someone they’ve chosen to sign for them. We’ll walk you through what’s needed for your situation.

Do we have to empty the house before it’s listed?

Not always. We’ll talk through your options, from selling with some belongings still in the home to connecting you with estate sale and clean-out help first, based on your goals and timeline.

Can family who live out of state handle this?

Yes. Much of the process can be handled by phone, text and email, and we coordinate the local help on the ground.

How quickly can a house be sold?

Every situation is different. Tell us your timeline, and we’ll build the plan around it.

Will my health care power of attorney work to sell the house?

Not always. A health care POA usually doesn’t cover selling a home. It typically needs to cover financial decisions, like a durable or financial POA. Title companies are neutral parties, and they make the final call. Through our trusted local title company contacts, we can help get your paperwork reviewed early.

You won’t be doing it alone.

Downsizing is personal, hands-on work, and we spend real time with everyone we help. When you call, text or fill out our form, a real person on our team will get back to you.
