🏡💔 You’re not alone!
Whether your parents are moving into care or have passed on, the process can be overwhelming. Here are some tips to help you through:
đź•’ Get started early - the longer a home sits empty, the more it costs - insurance, rates, utilities, lawn care... it adds up
đź§° Check for needed repairs - maintenance can slip when people get older (heating systems, plumbing, wiring)
📸 Take photos of the special places - (we can give you a copy of the listing photos)
đź§ą Declutter by involving your family to declutter together
💵 Trust me, (I’m your local Tauranga expert ), with pricing - it’s common for families to overestimate the value of their parents home
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Stay united with siblings… it’s a farewell to a huge part of your life. But with the right support, it can be a smoother and even healing experience🧑‍💼 And yes… hire a local expert to help! Reach out for my advice or a no-obligation market appraisal.
