Selling the home is only part of the move. I help families navigate the whole transition.

Helping Metro Detroit seniors and their families downsize, simplify, and sell with confidence.

More than a real estate transaction.

Sometimes selling a house is easy.

Sometimes it involves 40 years of belongings, an estate sale, repairs, movers, family members in different states, paperwork nobody can find, and a parent who isn’t sure they’re ready to leave.

That’s where I come in.

I help families figure out what needs to happen, what doesn’t, who to call, and what comes next.

One call. A lot fewer headaches.

Depending on your situation, I can coordinate or connect you with the people you may need, from the first walk-through to the closing table. You don’t have to find them, vet them, or schedule them around each other.

And if you don’t need one of them, I’ll tell you that too.

  • Estate sale companies
  • Clean-out services
  • Movers
  • Organizers
  • Contractors
  • Attorneys and title professionals
  • Senior-living resources

Not sure you’re ready to sell? That’s okay.

Let’s talk before you make any decisions. I’ll help you understand your options and what would need to happen if you decide to move.
