For adults ages 55+, the often complex process of preparing and selling real estate can be made more difficult due to physical and financial limitations, and the strong emotions connected to your family home. Having an SRES® at your side can simplify selling your home every step of the way.

The first step would be to determine your reasons for selling your house. Is it due to financial difficulties, health concerns, or a desire to downsize? Knowing your reasons for selling will help you determine the best approach.

As a senior, you may be eligible for certain tax benefits or exemptions when selling your home. It's important to consult with a tax professional to determine if you qualify for any of these benefits.

Once you've determined your reasons, the next step would be to consult with a Seniors Real Estate Specialist® who has experience working with older adults. They can guide you in preparing your home for sale, such as making necessary repairs, decluttering, and staging the house to appeal to potential buyers.

Have a winning plan from the beginning. 

Consult with Family and Caregivers: It's important to involve family members and caregivers in decision-making. They can provide emotional support and help with practical tasks like packing and moving.

Get the House Ready to Sell: Before putting it on the market, you must make necessary repairs or upgrades to increase its value. Don’t leave any money on the table. Declutter and clean the house to make it more appealing to potential buyers.

Hire a Seniors Real Estate Specialist®: Our team will sell the house quickly and for the best price possible with the least hassle. We can also guide the selling process and help every step of the way.

Make Arrangements for Moving + Logistics: Once the house is sold, the senior should make arrangements for moving to their new senior care facility. This may include hiring a moving company or enlisting the help of family and friends.

Get Legal and Financial Affairs in Order: Seniors need to ensure their legal and financial affairs are in order before moving into senior care. This may include updating their will, power of attorney, and other legal documents, as well as arranging to pay their senior care expenses.
