Book your free 15-minute introduction
Two quick steps: your details, then pick a time. We ask for your name, phone and email so we can reach you and send the reminder. On the call, we'll ask about the location of the house (city or town) and where things stand. We'll also ask you whether a decision has been made where to live next.
Nothing is sorted, packed, staged or listed until you and your parent say so.
You are carrying this house, and it is a lot.
“2,900 square feet and 33 years of life” is a lot to handle. The basement, the attic and the garage are full of a lifetime of stuff.
You sort an hour at a time after work. Your parent is not ready to declutter, but does not want to help pack either.
Brothers and sisters weigh in from far away. Nobody else lifts a box.
Underneath it all is the fear of the phone call. One fall, and you have a few weeks to empty and sell the whole house.
“I'm not sure where to start.” If that is you, you are not alone. Many families say the same thing. It is not a failure. It is just too much for one person.
You don't have to empty a house. You have to have one conversation.
It starts with just a conversation. The same caring team sorts, packs, stages, moves and unpacks. You get one point person instead of a dozen vendors.
We are the calm neighbors who have helped dozens of families in Central and Eastern MA through this. We work at your family's pace. You stay in the driver's seat, and we manage all the details of the transition.
One team. Everything the move takes.
A caring team to sort and reduce
We sort, organize and cut down belongings. You decide what is kept, donated, sold or recycled.
Responsible donating, selling and recycling
Things nobody in the family wants do not end up in a dumpster by default.
Packing before the move
Careful packing, including the fragile things.
Move logistics, start to finish
We manage all the details of the move day.
Unpacking in the new home
So the new place feels like home the day you arrive.
Home staging
Buyers walk through and picture themselves living there.
Selling and buying
Licensed REALTOR®, Broker Associate, CSHP and SRES® leads the sale of the family home and, if desired, the purchase of the next one.
One point person
One team and one conversation, not a dozen vendors to call.
“Mom will never let a stranger touch her things.”
We hear that a lot. Here is how we work.
- ✓ Your parent decides what is kept, donated, sold or recycled.
- ✓ The pace is theirs. Nothing starts until they say so.
- ✓ Professionals trained as a Certified Senior Housing Professional, Certified Senior Downsizing Coach and Certified Senior Move Manager. That training is about guiding mature homeowners through this.
- ✓ The first step is only a conversation. Or start with a complimentary Aging Well seminar.
You leave the 15-minute introduction knowing where to start, whether or not you ever hire us.
Here is where to start, and what comes next.
Step 1
The 15-minute introduction
A short call. You tell us where things stand. You leave knowing where to start.
Step 2
The plan
A plan for the house and for the next place to call home, at your pace.
Step 3
Sort and organize
We start only when you say so. You choose what is kept, donated, sold or recycled.
Step 4
Stage and list with Kelly
The home is staged so buyers can picture living there. Then Kelly leads the sale.
Step 5
Move and unpack
We pack, move and unpack, so your parent walks into a place that looks and feels like home.
Each step moves at your family's speed. The first one takes 15 minutes.
What families and agents say
★★★★★
“Kelly worked with me to get my entire basement organized. She came for a consult, spent time assessing what the space needed, gave me a to do list, and then worked her magic! The space is so functional now and gives me such a breath of fresh air.”
★★★★★
“Kelly did an amazing job overseeing and clearing out, cleaning up and staging my family member’s condo. She and her team really helped reduce stress during a time of transition. Her work certainly allowed us to maximize the sales price. Would work with SWSO anytime.”
★★★★★
“Kelly was fantastic! ... Her attention to detail is great. We had two open houses and received more than 12 offers!”
★★★★★
“As a Realtor, I use her services for my clients, and the results have been spectacular. We track our data, and homes that are staged by Kelly sell much faster than those that haven’t.”
Three ways to handle the house
| Doing it yourself | Quick as-is cash offer | One caring team | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who coordinates | You, after work and on weekends | The buyer, not you | One team, one point person |
| What gets handled | Whatever you have time for | Only the sale | Sort, pack, stage, sell, move, unpack |
| Staged to show its worth | Rarely | No | Yes, so buyers can picture living there |
| Who stays in charge | You carry it all | The buyer sets the terms | Your parent stays in the driver’s seat |
This is for senior homeowners across Central & Eastern MA who are leaving a long-held family home, and the adult children helping them.
This is not for investors or anyone who wants a quick as-is cash sale, or for younger declutterers outside a senior transition.
Questions families ask us
What happens to the things nobody wants?
We do not blindly donate. Items are kept, donated, sold or recycled responsibly, as the homeowner decides.
Can we just sell the house as it is?
You can ask that question on the call. Staging helps buyers picture living in the home as they walk through it. Kelly will talk it through with you.
Do we have to be ready to move?
No. The first step is a conversation. Nothing is sorted, packed, staged or listed until you and your parent decide.
Can we trust you in the house?
We are a small, licensed team, and you can read what families say about us above. Kelly is a licensed REALTOR®, Broker Associate and SRES®, and also a Certified Senior Downsizing Coach.
What if my parent will not talk about it?
That is common. Our training is about guiding mature homeowners through this. The pace is theirs. You can also start with a complimentary Aging Well seminar.
What is the Aging Well seminar?
A complimentary seminar series on challenges facing mature homeowners and their families, like healthy living and holidays after downsizing.
What does the 15-minute introduction cost?
Nothing. You leave knowing where to start, whether or not you ever hire us.
Start with 15 minutes. Know where to start first.
