My UT Senior 50+

Right Size Image.png
Rightsizing is finding that place between too much and too little in your life. A move is a perfect time to sort through your belongings and let go of what you no longer need, use or love. In essence, it’s the right time to “rightsize.” If you’re like many seniors who are choosing to simplify your life and move to a smaller space, you may be needing to let go of some of your things. That can sound a bit overwhelming, but with the right guidance, you can keep your favorite possessions and surround yourself with the things that truly bring you joy.

How can SRES Help You Plan for Your Future Housing Needs?

Most of us put time and effort into planning for retirement. That is, we plan for money-related issues such as retirement funds. Secondly, people plan for long-term care and life insurance. Deciding on where you’ll live as you age often takes a backseat during retirement planning.
Whether you are considering aging in place, downsizing, purchasing a rental property, or even upsizing to a new location, dealing with real estate transactions and choices can be a confusing maze to negotiate, even for experienced home buyers. Beyond the complexity of real estate transactions, those over fifty are often more sophisticated shoppers and can benefit from a knowledgeable SRES representative.

Step 1: Initial Consultation: We will set up an appointment to meet with you and your family to discuss your personal and confidential situation. An action plan will be set in place to meet your needs and start the process of moving forward.

Step 2: Getting Organized: Our Senior Move Manager will work with you as little or as much as you need. From sorting and packing the home to cleaning it out. Ensuring we make a plan of action for your transition.

Step 3: Taking Inventory: After it is determined what items will be taken to the new place, you have to decide what they would want to do with everything which is remaining. They could do an estate sale, they could donate it, or they could even do a complete cleanout.

Step 4: Preparing for the move: Before investing any money into their house, we will let you know what items we would recommend they should do to get your home in top showing condition. If everyone decides to do so, we have a list of trusted vendors who can help with home repair, flooring, painting, and any other service which may be needed.

Step 5: Pre-MLS Marketing & Selling the Property: In order to get the most exposure of their home, we will pre-market the home to our local buyers, a network of local agents, and online marketing strategies.  We have a systematic approach to selling the home quickly and for top dollar.

Moving is not easy - even more, difficult when you are an older retiree planning to right size and leave the home you have owned for many years. Most people delay the decision to move due to what they believe to be a daunting task ahead of them. We are Senior Real Estate Specialists who will create a plan of action that can alleviate most of those moving stressors.
