5 Steps to selling a home and planning the transition:
1. Hire a knowledgeable Real Estate Agent It is important to hire a realtor that has experience working with older adults. A Real Estate Professional has received focused experience to help those age 50+ through lifestyle transitions.
2. Research Tax and Legal Implications Speaking with a Financial Advisor will help you to determine the potential tax implications from the sale of your home. The decision to sell “prior to” or “after” the move should be discussed from a logistical and legal perspective
3. Getting Organized Start the downsizing and decluttering process early, will give plenty of time to decide what to keep and what to get rid of. Be sure to
determine what furniture and other items will already be provided.
4. Prepare to Stage and Sell Once the downsizing and decluttering process is complete, it is time to prepare the home for the market. At this time, you should have your realtor help you decide if any repairs or renovations need to be completed prior to listing the home.
5. Plan for a Stress-Free Move Senior Move Managers or Certified Relocation and Transition Specialists can help with the sorting, packing, and moving process. With the right people, planning the transition to your chosen assisted living facility can be less stressful.
Whether you are moving on or moving forward, nothing compares.
