It's more than a house. We know that.
Most families tell us the same three things. You don't have to figure it out alone, and you don't have to do it all at once.
“Where do we even start?”
We start with a walk through the home and a conversation about your timeline. Then we give you a simple plan, one step at a time.
“We don’t live nearby.”
We handle the access, the cleanout, the photos and the showings, and we keep every sibling updated, near or far.
“There’s a lifetime in every room.”
We go at your pace. You decide what to keep, what to share and what to let go of, and we take care of the rest.
No rush. No pressure.

Questions families ask.
Where do we start when we need to sell a parent's home?
Start with a conversation, not a listing. We walk the home with you, talk through the timeline and what your family needs, and put together a plan. Most families begin with the people who have to be involved: your parent if they can take part, the siblings, and an attorney.
Do we need an attorney before we sell?
Often, yes. Connecticut has rules about transfers and sales that can affect long-term care benefits, and an estate or power of attorney can change who is able to sign. An elder law attorney can tell you what applies. We work alongside your attorney and follow their guidance.
Who is allowed to sign the sale?
It depends on whether your parent can still make decisions, whether there is a power of attorney or a conservator, and whether the home is part of an estate. Your attorney will tell you who has the authority, and we work with that person.
We live in different places. How do you keep everyone informed?
We send clear written updates to everyone you choose, and we're glad to join a family call. Out-of-state siblings see the same photos, offers and updates as the sibling who lives nearby.
The house is full of belongings. Can you still help?
Yes. We coordinate the cleanout in the order that makes sense for your family, help set aside what you want to keep, and arrange an estate sale, donation or haul-away. We can also sell a home with items still in it when that's the right choice.
How long does it take to sell?
It depends on how much preparation the house needs and on the market. After we see the home, we'll give you a realistic timeline and update it as we go. We don't make promises we can't keep.
Will you pressure us to list?
No. The first conversation is free and carries no obligation. If waiting is the right call, or if it's better to handle the cleanout first, we'll say so.
Do you work all across Connecticut?
Yes. We are based in Southington and work across Connecticut.
This page is general information, not legal or financial advice. For questions about benefits, powers of attorney or estates, please talk with a Connecticut elder law or estate attorney.
