Is it time to sell your home? Topics to explore…

Are you thinking of selling your home to move to a more supportive environment?

Or perhaps to move in with an adult child who can help with your needs as you grow older?

You may be considering leaving the family home with all that it represents – the place where children were raised; the safety and security of a family unit; the physical space where your oldest and dearest memories reside. For seniors, it can signify the best years of their lives, where friends and community ties were made.

Many seniors would prefer to continue living in their own home, or aging in place. Sometimes, circumstances work against those preferences: • Home maintenance and/or home size becomes a burden • A major life event forces a move • An aging parent wants to live closer to adult children or other caretakers • Financial concerns make it difficult to keep the home • Support services are needed that are not available at home Whatever the reason, there may come a time when seniors consider selling and moving on. Our consultation is designed to help guide you and your family through the complex questions and unique situations you may encounter during the process.

Questions to consider before starting the process: Are all relevant family members aware of the upcoming sale/move and the reasons for it?

Have tax consequences of a sale been considered?

Key steps in the process: • • • • • •

What are the housing options?

Home adaptations Healthcare needs Financial considerations Legal considerations Selling your home

Our Business Philosophy:

a name respected worldwide

If family members are assisting with this process, has one member been chosen to be the contact to communicate with the professionals?

Our clients can act with confidence, knowing that their real estate needs will be handled in a discrete, professional and highly efficient manner. The goal of our organization is to provide world-class client service that consistently out performs even the highest expectations. This is one of the reasons you should hire Berkshire Hathaway HomeService Pinehurst Realty Group to represent you.

ADVANTAGE – MAKING YOUR HOME STAND OUT If there is one thing we know for sure, it’s that Buyers want to see rich media…and lots of it. Every listing we take receives professional photography; that’s been a standard of ours for years. We also provide an amazing SINGLE property website that includes the details of your property and the story that is compelling to the buyer letting them know “why you love it”. Your home is special, so the way it’s presented should reflect that. You don’t just have a “3BD 2.5BA w/fnshd bsmt”. If the buyer hears your home story, they’ll fall in love with it too.

WE TELL THEM THE STORY – so they will love it too!
