Moving a parent, or yourself, out of the family home?

I help Eastside families sell the house, clear it out, and get moved on a timeline that fits the care plan. You get one point of contact from the first call to closing.

What happens, in order

Most families have never done this before. Here is the whole process, start to finish.

  1. First

    A 30-minute call

    We talk through your timeline, who is involved, and what the house needs. You leave with a plan, even if you are not ready to sell.

  2. Next

    The house gets ready

    Keepsakes go to family. Donations and cleanout are scheduled. Repairs happen only where they pay for themselves. I line up and supervise the crews, and you approve every cost.

  3. Last

    We sell and close

    Pricing, marketing, showings, negotiation, and closing, with an update at every step. Proceeds go where they need to go: the care account, the trust, or the estate.

Who does the work

You should not have to manage contractors from a hospital waiting room. I coordinate it all, with a team working behind the scenes.

Cleanout and donations
Local crews sort, donate, and haul, and we document everything for the family.
Movers and move managers
Trusted partners booked around the move-in date at the new home or community.
Repairs and prep
Vetted contractors, and only the work that is worth doing. Selling as-is is always an option.
Showings, paperwork, and closing
Handled by me and my team, with attorneys and title kept in the loop.

What it costs, and who pays

The commission is paid to my brokerage at closing, from the sale. You owe me nothing upfront.

Vendors like movers and cleanout crews quote before any work starts and bill you directly. Nothing begins without your OK.

Need to move before the house sells? I have relationships with lenders who offer bridge loan options, and I am happy to coordinate with your lender of choice.
