Ways to handle the family home

Moving into assisted living is a big change. Here’s how families usually handle the house.

Keep it for now

Some families hold the house while they decide, but it means paying taxes, insurance and upkeep on an empty home.

Rent it out

Can help pay for care, but someone has to manage tenants and repairs.

List with an agent

Usually means clearing out, repairs and showings, which is hard to do while managing a move.

Sell to us for cash

No showings, no cleanout, and a date you choose, so the move can come first. Get an offer →

Step by step

How it works

  1. Talk with us. You, a family member, or someone with power of attorney can reach out.
  2. Get an offer. One short, respectful walkthrough, then a clear cash offer within 24 hours.
  3. Pick the timing. Close before the move to fund care, or after the move so there’s no rush.
  4. Leave the rest to us. Take the keepsakes and leave everything else. We handle it after closing.

If someone is signing on another person’s behalf, the title company or closing attorney will confirm the paperwork needed, such as a power of attorney.

We make it easier

  • Flexible closing dates
  • No cleanout or repairs
  • Remote signing for family out of town
  • Proceeds available to help pay for care
  • We pay all of your closing costs
FAQ

Questions families ask

Can a family member sell the house for a parent?

Yes, if they have legal authority, such as a valid power of attorney. The title company or closing attorney will review the documents before closing.

Can we close after the move?

Yes. You choose the closing date, so you can move first and sell once everyone is settled.

What happens to furniture and belongings?

Take what you want to keep. Leave everything else and we handle it after closing, at no cost to you.

Can the sale money help pay for assisted living?

Many families use the proceeds that way. Closing sooner can mean having the funds available when you need them.
