Etobicoke Seniors Team

Considering the thought of making a move can be overwhelming for many Etobicoke Seniors.  We are all guilty of accumulating belongings and paper.  After living in the same home for a few dacades, the amount of that stuff becomes a block to being able to move forward. 

For some seniors, there is an involved and supportive family who are ready and able to lend a hand, sorting through papers and finding new homes for all your belongings.  However, often the family support network is dispersed to far away cities or just too busy with their own lives to have the time to commit to helping their parent pack-up and make a move.

Selling a home is about a whole lot more than signing a contract and placing a sign on the lawn.  A tremendous amount of effort needs to go into preparing that home before the selling process begins.  That involves not just cleaning but also reducing the amount of "stuff" in the home. 

"We all live with a certain amount of clutter.  We surround ourselves with things that make us feel good.  Our collections and soveniers from vacations. For the few days your home is on the market, we want to turn your home into a fantasy dream home, someone else will want to live in"  - Ralph Evans

What he has found is that often it is the belongings in the house that are holding the senior back from moving forward to a better living space.  There inability to process all that stuff forces them to remain living in a less than ideal setting.

That's why Ralph Evans has teamed-up with some local business partners, to offer a unified and comprehensive solution.  Together with Karen Pivnick a Seniors Move Manager and Karen Rodricks from RBC Dominion Securities, Ralph created The Seniors Team. 

Karen Pivnick's business TopCat Relocation Transition Services helps seniors to downsize.  Processing all your files with you.  Determining what old financial records can be shredded and what needs to be retained.  Organizing the photo collections you'd like to take with you.  Assisting in the furniture selection you'd like to keep and then finding places to donate or sell the remaining pieces to.  Then assisting with packing, moving day and being with you to unpack and get established into your new home.

Karen Rodricks' task is to build a secure investment plan from the proceeds of the home sale to assist in paying for the senior's ongoing needs.  Each plan is uniquely built to complement any existing portfolio and is tailored according to each individual's specific needs.
