We all want to live in our homes as long as possible. Certified Aging in Place Specialists (CAPS) like Joe Norwood of Manor House Renovations can help many people live conveniently, comfortably and safely in their homes as they age, or when illness limits mobility and ability. CAPS build or install safety features, smooth out flooring, add contrast, improve lighting and much more.

However, families and individuals often face selling a home suddenly when a their or a loved one’s health fails or following a death. This is especially difficult because emotional loss piles on every step of the process. You’ll be sifting through a lifetime of memories, deciding what to keep or let go and moving on.

It feels overwhelming. Where do you start? How do you sort, clear and then move out the heavy or bulky furniture or large volumes of things like books, clothes and housewares you no longer want?

Before you start you’ll want to get the advice of a real estate broker who knows this home’s market and utilizes data to help you understand your sales opportunity depending on home condition and the market dynamics. There are always of options for marketing and selling at various price points. You can choose the marketing and sales plan that works best for YOU.

Armed with that plan you’ll know what needs to be done, the best time to list and have expert home sales advice along the path to listing and selling well.

There are also service providers who can help with the overwhelming task of clearing, sorting, moving and refreshing. I recommend hiring experienced help with this kind of effort. For instance, Joe Norwood of Manor House not only helps clients live in their homes longer, his team utilizes a system for helping seniors and their families clear, clean and move quickly and easily. If you're making a senior move, he’s worth a call and a consult: Joe@ManorHouseCAPS.com, 919-428-6133, https://www.manorhousecaps.com/
