Downsizing, at your own pace

Stay until the date you pick

You choose the closing date, so you can line it up with your next place. If you need time to sort, pack and say goodbye, pick a later date. You stay in the house until then.

There are no showings while you are packing, and no keeping the house spotless for strangers.

Keep what you love. Leave what the offer says.

Decades in one house adds up to a lot of things. Take what you want to keep. The written offer will say what can stay behind, such as furniture or the contents of the garage, so nobody is guessing on moving day.

If something is not covered in the offer, ask us before closing and we will put the answer in writing.

• Pick what goes with you, and when
• Give family time to take what they want
• Leave the rest only where the offer says you can

No repairs, no updates

A house that has been lived in for a long time usually has a list of things that would need doing before a sale: the roof, the kitchen, the bathrooms. We buy it as it is and price the work in, so you do not spend your savings fixing a house you are leaving.

What the written offer covers

The offer puts everything in one place, in plain numbers, so you can read it at the kitchen table and share it with family.

• The price we will pay
• The closing costs and who pays them
• The closing date you picked
• What can be left behind in the house
• Who is buying: us, or one of our investor partners

Bring family into it

Big decisions are easier with someone you trust beside you. Invite a family member to the call or the visit, share the written offer with them, and have your own attorney or agent read the contract if you like. Nothing is final until you sign, and asking for an offer costs nothing.

If the house is in good shape and you are not in a hurry, listing it may bring a higher price. We will say so. See our honest comparison and decide what matters most to you.
