Assisting senior citizens moving from their long time home to a retirment community

Joe Jackson (Keller Williams Capital Partners) — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 10:59:13 -0600

This year I have had the opportunity to help 3 couples move from their long time single family home in Central Ohio to a retirement community.

All three moved to different communities and all received different services from the community they moved to

One couple on their own hired an organizer to help with sorting and removing 40+ years of personal items.

Another couple was a do it your self, although they did use some of the same service from the same company that the first client did.

The last could had a home stager and appraiser, hired by the community they were moving to, to get the house show able and set a price.

What are you finding is working in your area to help senior move into communities? Do you suggest a stager, organizer or an appraiser to assist in the sale? Have you had much activity in helping seniors move to a retirement community?

This is a huge market that will only be getting larger and I am anxious to hear your comments!

More ads on the radio, tv Internet print ads, mailers.. geez I thought us Realtors spammed the public!

Have you voted yet? I did absentee to avoid the 2-3 hour lines we had in Ohio in 2004

I think every registered voter ( that's a topic in itself) should have a user name and password and be able to vote on line. What do you think?
