The Move of a Lifetime

If you're in your fifties, sixties or beyond, you may be facing your first move in decades. The process may seem overwhelming, and you may be anxious about the future and the big changes coming up. However, a trusted real estate agent can help with all the steps along the way, especially with selling your home quickly in a competitive market.

If you've occupied your home for ten, twenty or more years, you'll want to enlist family members to get your home market-ready, and prepare for your move. Beyond the cooperation of friends and family, you might also consider a professional "move manager" to help you settle in to your new home.

These experts are well versed in the complexities associated with moving from a "lifetime home" - the preparation involved in staging your home for showings as well as the organization needed to get you moved with a minimum of hassle and confusion. You are in complete control, while they unclutter the house, pack and organize boxes, make the home sparkle, and arrange for moving, shipping, or donating belongings as you direct.

By showing your home in the best possible light, buyers will be able to picture their own families there. Combined with the real estate agent's marketing tools, this formula can provide a quick and profitable sale while you settle into your new residence!
