What a Good Agent Does

A good real estate agent can:

Help you decide whether to sell now, sell later, or rent
Explain which repairs are worth doing before you list
Work with your move manager and cleanout crew on timing
Work with your family’s attorney or the person with power of attorney, if needed
Keep out-of-state family updated through closing

Move My Mom is not a licensed real estate brokerage. We connect families with licensed agents.

Move forward at your pace. You choose who to work with, and we check in as the move comes together.

Before You List Mom's Home

If Mom’s home is a condo, ask the association early about its approval process for buyers, since it can affect your timeline.
If Mom’s home is on the water, clear the dock area and outdoor gear before showings.
Ask your agent how the time of year could affect the sale, including snowbird season in winter and hurricane season from June 1 to November 30.

Questions to Ask a Real Estate Agent

Have you sold homes for families whose Mom was moving to senior living?
Should we sell as-is or make repairs?
What does the timeline to closing look like?

Common Questions

Should we sell Mom's house before or after she moves?

It depends on your family’s timeline. Some families sell first, and others wait until Mom is settled. A good agent can walk you through both.

Do we need to fix up the house before selling?

Not always. Some homes sell well as-is. An agent can tell you which repairs, if any, are worth it.

Can the agent help if we live out of state?

Yes. Many agents work with families from a distance and can coordinate with the cleanout crew and other pros locally.

Who can sign to sell the house if Mom can't?

That depends on Mom’s legal documents. If someone holds her power of attorney, ask your family’s attorney whether it covers selling the house before you list.
