Aunt Shirley

The most adorable and sweet woman! She had lovingly owned her home for the last 45 years with her late husband.

However, it was time to downsize and move into the next phase of her life and she was worried about how she was going to pay for all the extra costs that came with her new assisted living apartment, medical care, and staffing needs.

Just the fear of moving was paralyzing enough.. but then you add in the fact that she had no money to fix up her home, knowledge of what to do, or who she could trust to help her… she had so much anxiety.

That’s where we were able to step in and take her stress away. We realized getting every penny out of her home was going to make all the difference to Aunt Shirley and make sure an investor didn’t swoop in to steal her equity.

Our amazing team at Frontline Realty Group did just that… we made sure Aunt Shirley had the best experience possible and that she netted the extra profit in her home…

The Property

  • 4 bedroom / 2 bath home

  • 1305 Square Feet

  • 2 Car Garage & Large Fenced Yard tucked into a Cul-de-sac

  • Built it 1974 - Well Cared for but dated…

The Challenge

Cosmetically Dated Property and the
seller’s lack of financial resources

  • Decades of Sentiment: 45 years of cherished memories and sentimental value.

  • Financial Imperatives: Aunt Shirley's urgent need for equity to fund her new assisted living apartment and cover medical expenses.

  • Emotional Stress: Aunt Shirley facing overwhelming stress, uncertain about the steps to take and how to manage the transition.

  • Dated Interiors: A home with outdated features, requiring significant updates to meet modern standards.

  • Cost-Effective Solutions: The challenge of identifying affordable methods to rejuvenate the property and elevate its market appeal, maximizing its value.

  • “When I decided to sell, I didn’t know where to start.  I am so grateful to the whole team at Frontline Realty Group. Maryann, Rebecca and Labrina took the stress out of selling my home and helping me move. They immediately put me at ease and quickly earned my trust. The next thing I know my home was transformed and sold quickly.  It was a wonderful surprise.They made it so easy, and I was so happy with the sales price. Now I can focus on the next stage of my life. “
