Sooooo Mom or Dad is ready to move to a senior community…
When Mom or Dad move into a senior community, it is often a stressful time for everyone. You have to worry about finances, cleaning the house, sorting through a lifetime of “stuff” trying to decide what to trash/keep/sell/donate, finding the right community for mom or dad, getting them to agree to actually make the move, making repairs/updates to mom or dad’s home, trying to get it sold…the list goes on and on and on.
Add in kids or difficult siblings or a full-time job and you can see how the situation compounds……
It doesn’t have to be as stressful though!!! There’s a better way!
We’ve worked with families in your situation for years. Two of the most common problems we see families go through is:
- How do we coordinate touring senior communities, the move to the community, paying for the move, cleaning/repairs/updates to the home, the sale of the home, and the estate sale?
- Who is going to put up the money to remodel or clean out mom and dad’s home so we can get the most money out of it? Also should we do carpet? What kind of carpet? Is this green in style for the living room? Does anyone know where to get new countertops and what that costs? Is this crack in the bricks a big deal?
Those are some BIG questions to answer. We’ve seen families invest lots of time and money as they go through the process of moving mom or dad into a senior community. A lot of the these troubles revolve around selling mom and dad’s home. If you can do that easily and quickly, everything else falls into place. You have the money to move mom or dad into the community quickly so they don’t lose their spot. You can go through the “stuff” in the home or have an estate sale on your time.
Bottom line, if Mom or Dad are moving into a senior community and you need to sell their home, we are the right company to talk to.
Why sell mom or dad’s home to us???
Most families don’t even know we exist. When they think of selling a home, the only option that comes to mind is to find a Realtor. For some folks that works great. For a lot of them, it is a square peg in a round hole.
Moving a loved one into a senior community from a home they’ve lived in all their lives is something most of us go through only once or twice. There is a lot going on for everyone involved. That’s why using a Realtor is not always the best choice here.
This is where we come in. We buy homes in Oklahoma to remodel them and either rent/sell. Think HGTV but we aren’t famous…or on TV….but HEY we are local and do some amazing remodels!!! Anyways, with our years of experience buying homes and our understanding of the transition a family has to go through when mom or dad move into a senior community, we offer a unique solution to liquidating mom or dad’s home.
Here’s a quick look at why you’d consider selling mom or dad’s home to us….
- Time is of the essence – You need to move mom or dad in a timely manner to avoid dragging the situation out and possibly losing a spot at your preferred senior community. We can close in 2-4 weeks so you have cash in hand quickly to make the move.
- Extra time in the home AFTER closing – When using a Realtor or going through the traditional ways of selling a home, you have to turn over the keys at closing. That doesn’t always work for families in your situation. What if you can’t hold the estate sale until after closing? Will the buyers wait? What if you can’t get off work to remove the items you want before closing? When selling to us, you can get up to 30 days FREE after closing to do whatever you need to do in the home.
- $0 closing costs, $0 fees, $0 commissions – Seems like we get nickel and dime’d everywhere these days. When you sell a home to us, there are no fees, no commissions, no closing costs. All you pay is whatever mortgage is left on the home if any.
- Mom and Dad’s “Stuff” in the home – When you move from a 1600sf home to a 400sf room in a senior community, you will end up leaving some stuff behind. We operate on a “take what you want, leave what you don’t” policy. No reason to waste your time trying to donate or sell a 30 year old couch. We’ll take care of it. We’ve got local groups we donate to and if something is truly unusable again, let us worry about getting the dumpsters and finding hours to handle it.
- 100% as-is sale – Most people that end up selling a home through a Realtor go through two sets of repairs/updates. The first is when the Realtor tells them what “needs” to be done to sell the home. This is typically new flooring, paint, maybe a roof or replace an AC unit. Possibly updating that bathroom with canary yellow tile. The second is when they actually find a buyer and that buyer picks the house apart during inspections finding $5,000 more in repairs. When you sell a home to us, it is 100% as-is. You don’t have to repair anything, no updating needed, and most definitely no cleaning required.

What if you don’t think we are the right option for your family??
We’ll be the first to admit that not every family will see the most benefit or end up making the most money from the sale of mom or dad’s home by working with us. That is just the truth. Everyone’s situation is different and while we are a great or even the best choice for most people, sometimes we aren’t that.
Hopefully you can tell by reading through this we run a pretty open and honest company. We love to look at homes and to help folks so what we always say is IF selling mom or dad’s home is in your plans, call us first. It costs nothing to you and just a little bit of our time. You’ll end up with a clear-cut way to sell mom or dad’s house easily and quickly.
We are happy to come look at any home, give you our opinion, and even make you an offer to buy the home. If you accept the offer great, if not, keep it in your back pocket in case something changes. We’ve surprised more than a few folks how easy things can be with us and what we can offer on homes.
What have you got to lose?
What if we’ve cleared out the home and it doesn’t need any work?
We will buy any home or business or land or commercial property you want to sell. We’ve bought homes that were less than a few years old from families in your situation and we’ve bought homes that needed a lot of love to put it nicely. We’ve bought land and even commercial buildings.
Seriously it doesn’t matter what condition the home is in or what you’ve done or not done already. We are more than happy to come take a look and make you an as-is cash offer to buy mom and dad’s house. If our offer works for both of us, great! If it doesn’t, keep it in your back pocket as a plan B.
