What help is available to move seniors?

Over the years we’ve had the opportunity to move many seniors. We’ve found that every situation is unique and everyone has their own story. We’ve learned a lot about what works and what doesn’t. This has allowed us to customize our approach and services to meet the specific needs of seniors and their families.

 Moving seniors can be complex. Here’s why:

1. There’s an emotional attachment to the family home which is filled with fond memories. Many seniors are reluctant to leave what they know and love.
2. The longer they’ve lived in the same home, the more clutter that may exist that will need to be dealt with.
3. The family members responsible for organizing the move may not live close by the house that needs to be SOLD. They need someone they can trust to be at the home when they can’t.
4. There are lots of activities that need to be coordinated to make the move a positive experience and to make maximize the proceeds from the sale of the home.

The ThompsonSells team has developed a proven approach that includes a roster of trusted partners and services to help manage the complexity of the move and maximize the proceeds from the sale.

Here’s what one of our clients had to say about our services:

Cathy Tripp

“We couldn’t even begin to put into words how grateful we are to Jody, Janet, and their team. We enlisted Jody’s service to sell an elderly family member’s home and they handled the whole process with such care and professionalism. From the outset, Jody was very honest and knowledgeable, always making sure to communicate with us every step of the way so that we were never in the dark. Our sale was like nothing we have ever experienced before, due to a few unforeseen circumstances that arose from the buyers during the process. Jody & his team were always quick to resolve any issues and explain our options in detail, so we could make decisions and ease with confidence. We are so pleased with the sale and how the entire process unfolded. They took so much stress out of the experience and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services to anyone looking. Thank you Jody, Janet, and your team for everything you did for us, we truly appreciate it!”

“I was faced with the daunting task of selling my aunt and uncle’s house after the sudden death of my uncle. Jody was a true professional. They did everything from packaging the contents of the home, cleaning, a fabulous video. Every aspect of the services was done above my expectations. Jody and his team are efficient, helpful, hardworking, and very easy to work with. I would highly recommend Jody and the ThompsonSells Team.”

Susan Westwood

“When the property was listed COVID hit and everything changed. Jody and his team strategized and handled a very difficult situation. Jody was calm and professional but also warm and kind. He has great connections for just about everything you can think of. Jody led us through the sale, got a great price, and was a pleasure to deal with. DOn’t choose any other realtor!”
