Downsizing, or moving a parent into care
A house that has held a family for thirty or forty years is rarely in listing condition, and it is never empty. Decisions about it usually have to be made quickly, often while arranging care for the person who lived there.
This is not a distress sale and we will not treat it as one. It is a practical problem: a building full of a life, a timeline set by somewhere else, and nobody with the weeks free to manage contractors.
We've got it.
We'll review the property and get back to you within 24 hours with an offer. If you'd rather talk it through now, call us at (432) 296-5971.
What makes this hard
The parts that stall a normal sale
-
Care will not wait for a listing
Assisted living and memory care places come up on their own schedule and usually need a deposit long before a house could realistically sell.
-
Clearing the house is the hard part
Decades of belongings, often with family spread across several states and nobody with the time to sort through it.
-
It has not been updated in a long time
Original kitchens, older systems, and deferred maintenance are normal in a long-held home, and retail buyers price all of it against you.
Where we fit
What we can actually do about it
- Take what matters — the photographs, the furniture that is going with them, anything of meaning — and leave the rest. We clear it.
- No repairs, no updating, no staging.
- You choose the closing date, so it can line up with a move-in date rather than the other way round.
- We can work with an adult child, a power of attorney, or an attorney handling the affairs, and everything can be signed remotely.
On every purchase, whatever the circumstances:
- No fees or commissions
- We cover closing costs
- Sold fully as-is
- No obligation
An offer within 24 hours. Closing in as little as 7 days, depending on the situation.
Questions
About this situation specifically
I have power of attorney for my mother. Can I sell?
Usually yes, if the POA grants authority over real property. The title company will want to see the document. If there is a conservatorship or guardianship instead, court approval may be needed.
Could this affect Medicaid eligibility?
It can. Medicaid has look-back rules and asset tests, and selling a home changes the picture. Speak to an elder law attorney before selling. This is one where the advice is genuinely worth the fee.
We need the money for a deposit quickly. How fast is this?
An offer within 24 hours, and closing in as little as 7 days depending on the situation. Tell us the date you are working to and we will tell you honestly whether we can meet it.
What happens to everything in the house?
Whatever you leave stays with the property and we deal with it. There is no requirement to hold an estate sale or hire a clear-out service.
