Some take longer than others, however, our experience has been that long-time homeowners take a minimum of 6 - 12 months to make an emotional move. The emotional move takes place in one's mind. Once that emotional move has been made, a physical move can often occur within 45 to 90 days. Of course this is assuming the destination of the move has been pre-determined. If moving to a retirement community, there is usually a waiting list which can sometimes be more than a year out.
Hiring a Move Manager—also known as a moving coordinator—is often the ideal solution in this situation. These professionals specialize in handling all aspects of a move, especially for older adults who may need extra support. If a Move Manager isn’t available in your area, a professional organizer or care manager can also be a great resource.
As a member of the Senior Real Estate Institute, I have access to a trusted national network of senior-focused service providers. Even if you're not in my local area, I can help you find reliable referrals to support your move and ensure you're not navigating the process alone.
Sorting can feel overwhelming, so start small. Pick one room, a single closet, or even just a dresser. Focus only on the items you know you want to take with you. If you open a cabinet or closet and immediately think, “I don’t need any of this,” that’s your cue to move on.
A common misconception is that every drawer and shelf needs to be sorted—but that’s not always the case. Many estate sale companies will let you do a final walkthrough before the sale begins in case you missed something important.
As you go, separate what you plan to move from what will be sold by simply leaving the “sell” items in place. Use sticky notes to clearly label furniture and storage areas with categories like “move,” “sell,” “donate,” or “family to take.” A simple system like this helps reduce decision fatigue and keeps the process moving forward.
Your Certified Senior Real Estate Professional can work hand-in-hand with you and your Move Manager to coordinate removal of remaining items—whether through donation, disposal, or an estate sale if that’s the route you choose. You're not in this alone, and we’re here to help every step of the way.
This is a common question for homeowners deciding whether to move before or after listing their home. Every real estate professional may have a different opinion, but the answer often depends on more than just how the home looks.
While well-placed furniture can make a home feel warm and inviting, other factors—like your safety, convenience, and stress levels—are often more important. Moving out before the home goes on the market can simplify the entire process.
Keep in mind, once your home goes under contract, you may have as little as three weeks (or up to six) to pack, move, and clear out any remaining belongings. Managing all of that while still living in the home can be stressful and overwhelming. For that reason, many clients find it easier and more manageable to move first.
As your Certified Senior Real Estate Professional, I can help you weigh the pros and cons for your specific situation—and if you choose to move first, I’ll work closely with your Move Manager or service providers to prepare the home so it shows at its best.
Most estate sale professionals in our area charge between 40% and 50% of the total sale proceeds. The exact rate depends on factors like the volume and value of items, as well as the company’s pricing structure.
There are several types of professionals in this field—some specialize in high-value collectibles, others in full-home liquidations—so finding the right fit is key. I can help guide you to a reputable company that aligns with your needs.
It’s also important to plan ahead—many estate sale providers are booked many months in advance, especially at certain times of the year, so securing one early in your transition process is highly recommended.
