Our mission is to give seniors and their families an easier way to sell a family home and, in doing so, we hope to reduce any transitional burden that comes as one ages.
When it is time to sell a lifelong home the situation is not always ideal. At times the stress of fixing up a home and putting it on the market is overwhelming, cost-prohibitive, or time-consuming. Sometimes life circumstances change rapidly and you need to move quickly. It can also be a nuisance having many people coming over to look at your home.
Our founders, Josh and Stephanie Hopwood, saw the stress that was placed on seniors when it was time to sell a family home. They founded ElderWise Housing Solutions to make the home-selling experience less stressful for seniors and their families by tackling common difficulties they encounter in the sale of a lifelong home. They are also the authors of the “Senior Housing Roadmap,” a book that was developed to help seniors that are considering a housing transition. In the book they cover the options that one should take into consideration whether staying in one’s home or transitioning to another living situation. The book is full of helpful advise and checklists to help you stay organized and plan effectively. If you would like a free copy of their book reach out to us!
Reach out for a free consultation to see how we can help you! We have also developed a trusted network of professionals to resource seniors through the transitional process. Whether you work with us or not we want you to be better prepared for a move.
Some of our more popular programs include:
Easy Transitions Program: Our most flexible, easy and stress free program. We work with you to create an offer to purchase your house “as is.” There is no need to fix up or clean your house to make it market ready. The closing timing is flexible and can be done in 7 days if needed. For those that need to move quickly we can also allow their families to come back after the closing to organize and pack up any possessions.
Some of the benefits of the Easy Transitions Program
- No costly and time consuming updates needed
- No need to find, vet and manage contractors
- Don’t have to clean the house or keep it clean for showings
- Not many people walking through your house
- providing privacy and safety
- Can offer cash = No banks or financing contingencies
- Able to close on your timeline (in 7 days if needed)
- No agent commissions, making it less confusing
- Take the possessions you want and leave the rest
- We work with companies that can sell unwanted possessions or we can donate it on your behalf
Partnership Rehab Program: We partner with you to rehab the house. Although this takes longer than our Easy Transitions Program you are able to make more on the sale. We pay for, plan and manage the rehab then work to sell it once completed. After the sale of your house we split any equity gained through the rehab with you. This allows you to make more money without the risk and stress of a rehab project.
Some of the benefits of the Partnership Rehab Program:
- Able to get more money without the risk
- We pay for the rehab and recoup the cost when the house sells
- Not having to plan and manage a rehab project
- No need to find, vet and manage contractors
