Rick Giese (SRES) Helps Joyce Sell Her Roseville MI Home to Move into a Independent Living Apartment

ROSEVILLE, Mich. - Sept. 2, 2013 - PRLog -- Joyce Angus, age 84, had lived in her home in Roseville, Michigan for over 45 years. Although physically healthy and independent, she easily could have been overwhelmed by the tasks of selling her home and dealing with emotional ties. Having lived in her home since her children were born, she had collected a lot of memories and a lot of prized possessions. Her kids were grown and living across the country and her husband recently passed, making the decision to move that much more difficult. She didn’t know how much her home was worth and she was concerned about what she would do with all the things that she had collected that her children didn’t want and there wasn’t room for in her new apartment

Joyce called Rick Giese, Macomb Counties Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) to do more than sell her home. His team assisted her with moving arrangements and estate sale services, including the transportation of remaining items to the estate sale gallery. By helping her with preparations in advance and pricing the home accurately, we were able to sell the home in just 10 days, allowing Joyce to go ahead and make her move to the independent senior living community she had chosen. The best part is that while our team was working on the details of the sale, she and her family were able to enjoy a much needed extended out-of-state family vacation.

Ellen, Joyce’s daughter, who helped with the move said, “Rick, your team are amazing and a delight to work with; from our initial meeting to discuss my Mom’s move to a retirement community, to the actual move and quick sale of her home including disposal of unwanted possessions. You were extremely professional and always accessible. I appreciated that you were unique in your ability to anticipate the needs and concerns of a senior citizen like Mom moving from a much loved, longtime home to a small apartment in a retirement community. You made this so much easier on all of us and I would not hesitate to recommend you and have already done so to several of my friends.”
When asked about her experience, Joyce simply said, “Rick, You do more than sell houses, you are caring.”  Now that her home is sold and she is settled in her new carefree apartment, Joyce is looking forward to her housewarming party sponsored and hosted by Rick Giese. Her plans are to take a couple of cruises each year and participate in the variety of activities offered at her senior community.
We love working with families like Joyce and Ellen. It was such a pleasure to know that Joyce was able to remain healthy and active during and after her move and that her children did not feel burdened by the process of trying to handle details from across the country.
