Selling a home when health or mobility is a factor requires a more thoughtful, flexible approach, but it can absolutely be done with dignity and care.
Minimize disruption wherever possible.
Limiting showings, scheduling them strategically, and allowing ample rest time helps protect your parents comfort and well-being throughout the process.
Adapt the selling strategy.
Virtual tours, professional photography, and pre-scheduled showings can reduce the need for frequent in-person disruptions. In some cases, staging can be handled with minimal involvement from the homeowner.
Lean on experienced professionals.
A real estate agent familiar with health-related transitions can coordinate details, communicate clearly with all parties, and manage the process so family members aren’t carrying the full burden.
With the right planning and support, selling a home during a health transition can be handled in a way that prioritizes safety, reduces stress, and respects everyone involved.
