When you call, you talk to me.

Selling a home during a life change is different from an ordinary sale. There is a move to plan, a lifetime of belongings, family to keep informed, and often a deadline. I coordinate all of it for Medina families, with a team behind the scenes handling the details.

Homes in Medina and the Points often involve waterfront, privacy, and estate planning considerations. When a family prefers a quieter sale, we can talk through private marketing options that fit the rules and your goals.

How I help Medina families

Local details that matter in Medina

  • Neighborhoods: Medina and the neighboring Points communities: Clyde Hill, Hunts Point, and Yarrow Point.
  • Paperwork: Medina is in King County. When a power of attorney needs to be recorded before closing, it is recorded with the King County Recorder’s Office. The title company confirms what is needed early.
  • Finding care nearby: search licensed adult family homes, assisted living, and memory care across Washington on Open Senior Care. (Open Senior Care and Senior Realty Guide share the same owner.)

What happens first, next, and last

  1. First

    A 30-minute call

    We talk through your situation, the timeline, and who can sign, and you get a realistic estimate of what the home would sell for and net.

  2. Next

    The move, then the house

    The move comes first. Then keepsakes, donations, cleanout, and only the prep that is worth doing. You approve every cost.

  3. Last

    Sell and close

    The home is priced, marketed, and sold, with proceeds going to the care account, trust, or estate.

Who does the work

Move managers and movers
Booked around the move-in date.
Cleanout and donations
Local crews, scheduled and supervised.
Repairs and prep
Vetted contractors, only where it pays off.
The sale
Pricing, marketing, showings, negotiation, and closing.

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.

At closing, the seller also pays the usual costs: Washington real estate excise tax, title and escrow fees, and any mortgage or reverse mortgage payoff. You will see an estimated net sheet before you list.

Common questions

How long does it take to sell a senior’s home in Medina?

Often six to ten weeks from the first call to closing, depending on the move-in date, how much is in the house, and the market. We set the timeline together at the start.

Can you help if I live out of state and my parent is in Medina?

Yes. I check on the house, meet crews, send photos and updates, and arrange remote signing when the title company allows it.

Do you work with Medina senior move managers, placement advisors, and attorneys?

Yes. They keep their role, and I coordinate the house sale around their plan so the move stays on track.
