A Real Estate Broker for Senior Move Managers: You Handle the Contents. Ryan Handles the House.

As partners on the same project with separate jobs. You handle the move or the contents, I handle the property, and the client or the family hires and pays each of us directly.

In practice that means sharing a calendar, agreeing on the order of work, and keeping each other posted when dates shift. I do not direct your work or renegotiate your agreement with the client. When the family lives out of state, I can be the local set of eyes on the property between your visits.

Earlier than most people expect, ideally before the move date or the contents sale is set. The listing timeline affects yours: whether the home shows furnished or empty, when photos are taken, and how long the family keeps paying to carry the house.

An early conversation does not commit the client to anything. It usually means one coordinated plan instead of two separate ones, and fewer last minute changes to your schedule.

The usual order is family selections, then the estate sale, then the clear-out and cleaning, then photos and the listing. I plan the listing date backward from your sale date and leave room for the days right after it, when the house is at its worst.

If repairs are planned, they are scheduled after the contents are gone. I keep showings and buyer visits away from your setup and sale days unless you and the client agree otherwise.

Yes, when a client needs the service. Where possible I give clients more than one reputable, insured company and let them choose, because the decision and the contract are theirs.

I cannot promise a volume of referrals, and no fees change hands in either direction. What I can offer is a professional counterpart on the real estate side who communicates, keeps to dates, and treats your client with the same care you do.

Yes, and without judgment. Heavy cleanouts are more common in estate work than most people realize, and they are usually the sign of a hard stretch in someone's life. They need the right vendors: crews experienced with volume, safety, and careful sorting, so important papers and keepsakes are not lost in the rush.

I coordinate those vendors with you, keep the family's wishes front and center, and time the work so the listing plan still holds. If the home needs repairs once it is cleared, I price that honestly, including when selling as is to a cash buyer makes more sense.

No. I do not pay referral fees to attorneys, fiduciaries, or any other professionals who are not licensed in real estate, and Nevada license law does not allow it. I also do not accept payment from vendors I introduce to a client.

Referrals run on the quality of the work and nothing else. Your client is free to interview other brokers, and I encourage it when a fiduciary needs to document how the broker was chosen.
