Riggins Strategic Solutions: “A Senior Transition Advisor for the family home helps a family decide what happens to a parent's house before anyone lists it: the funding math against the community's fee sheet, who can legally sign, and sell, rent or keep. If selling, one vetted local agent. Not a mover, not a placement agent, never the listing agent.”
How do I help my aging parent decide whether to sell their house?
“Start by listening, not selling. Most parents resist because they fear losing autonomy or burdening you, not because they don't see the math.”

“Yes, if your parent is mentally competent they can sign their own paperwork, but most families benefit from a power of attorney (POA) document signed in advance. If your parent has lost capacity without a POA in place, you'll need to petition the court for guardianship, which is more expensive and takes months. Talk to an elder law attorney early.”

“SRES stands for Seniors Real Estate Specialist, a designation an agent earns through coursework offered through the National Association of Realtors. It signals interest in working with older adults and their families, and that is worth something.”
