The Journey of Selling As-Is: What Longtime Homeowners Need to Know
Selling a home isn’t as simple as it used to be. With changing real estate trends and a growing number of cash buyers making offers, understanding your options is more important than ever—especially if you’re considering selling your home as-is. This is particularly relevant for those interested in aging in place or looking for downsize coaching.
This seminar will provide the clarity you need to navigate the real estate process confidently. Learn the insider terminology used by agents, investors, lenders, appraisers, and inspectors, and discover what fair market value and as-is really mean for you. This session is part of our senior living series, aimed at educating homeowners on senior-related topics.
What You’ll Learn:
- The real definitions behind terms like as-is and fair market value.
- What to expect in closing costs, commissions, and concessions.
- When (and when not) to update your home before selling.
- The truth about those letters offering cash for your home.
- The roles of real estate agents, appraisers, and inspectors in the selling process.
Whether you’re planning to sell soon or just exploring your options, this panel of experts will provide valuable insights that contribute to your senior education and equip you with the knowledge to make informed decisions about your home and your future.
The Journey of Building, Buying, or Retrofitting Your Forever Home
Many retirees embark on the journey of building, buying, or remodeling a home with the hope that it will serve as their "forever home." However, the reality is that what works well in earlier stages of life may not be suitable as you age. Fast forward 5, 10, or even 15 years, and the home you believed was perfect may no longer meet your needs, especially when considering aging in place.
Before making decisions that could impact your comfort, safety, and finances in the long run, it’s crucial to understand the key factors when building, buying, or remodeling to ensure your home remains a comfortable haven for the future.
What You’ll Learn About:
- Recommendations from occupational and physical therapists on home design and accessibility for aging in place.
- New technologies and smart home innovations that simplify daily life, making them essential for senior living.
- Affordable accessibility and universal design features that enhance livability for all ages, crucial for senior education.
- Insights into Universal Design and how to adapt homes for future needs as part of our senior living series.
- Best practices for collaborating with builders on custom homes to ensure they cater to future requirements.
- How certain home remodels can increase your home’s value, while others might not; an important aspect of downsize coaching.
