While you don’t necessarily need to sell your home before moving to senior living, many families choose to do so to free up equity and reduce financial burden. Selling your home can provide the funds needed to cover senior living costs, eliminate ongoing maintenance responsibilities and give you peace of mind knowing your property is in capable hands.

The ideal timing varies for each family, but we generally recommend starting the conversation about selling your home 6-12 months before your planned move to senior living. This timeline allows for proper preparation, including decluttering, making necessary improvements and strategic market positioning. Early planning also reduces stress and gives you more control over the process.

Absolutely. Many families move to senior living first and then sell their home afterward. This approach can reduce pressure during the transition and allow you to settle into your new environment before dealing with the home sale. We handle all aspects of selling your home remotely, including coordinating repairs, staging, showings and closing details.

Most homes require some level of preparation before going to market, and this is especially common with homes owned by seniors who may have deferred maintenance. We coordinate all necessary repairs and improvements through our network of trusted professionals. Our goal is to maximize your home’s value while minimizing your involvement in managing contractors and repair work during this busy time in your life.
