Over the past decade, we (Samantha and Cheryl) have seen a notable increase in adult children reaching out for help with listing, staging, selling, and closing on their parents’ homes. This is often following a move to a senior residence or, in more difficult times, after a loved one has passed.
This kind of work requires a highly specialized approach. Emotions often run high, and complex family dynamics can make the process more challenging. Luckily, as a mother-daughter team, we bring decades of experience guiding families through these transitions with empathy, efficiency, and as little stress as possible.
We understand that family relationships can influence decision-making. In many cases, we’ve helped navigate sibling tensions and differing opinions with diplomacy and sensitivity. These experiences have honed our ability to manage the interpersonal aspects of estate sales with care and professionalism.
No matter the circumstances, our goal is to ensure that all family members feel heard, respected, and treated fairly throughout the entire process.
