We also address the economic hurdles faced by lower-income individuals and observe the increasing inventory and price reductions, suggesting why now might be the opportune moment to sell your property.

Selling a home can be an emotional rollercoaster, especially when transitioning to assisted living.

In the latter part of our episode, we underscore the importance of presenting a "clean, fresh, ready-to-go" home in today's competitive market. We discuss how our CPO program and investor options can support sellers in unique situations, such as during a divorce or relocation, and even allow them to participate in profits post-sale.
