Our aging population is growing exponentially. As with many long time residents of a house there is an accumulation of possessions, some treasured, some not.
It takes a lot of work to get a house ready for sale. If there is an estate or mom or dad must move into a care facility, the family may not be able to deal with all aspects of getting the house ready. Many family members do not reside in the same community as their parent(s) anymore. There is a lot of work to be done before the house can be sold.
family treasures must be identified, packed and shipped
charities must be contacted to take away household items
someone has to clear out the junk
some goods may have value that require the services of appraisers, such as art, jewellery, antiques, etc.
that old baseball card or glove may need the services of an ebay specialist to maximize a profit for the family (this service may not be available in all communities)
staging, to get the house in tip top condition in order to maximize the listing/sale's appeal in order to achieve the highest possible price
it may take a lot of work and time just to get the house to a state where it is marketable and an Accredited Senior Agent has those skills.
