Erickson Realty and Moving Services Streamlines the Planning Process

Moving to a new home is always exciting! And knowing that you have expert support in place can free you up to focus on everything you have to look forward to.

When you join the Priority List for an Erickson Senior Living community, you'll gain exclusive access to a team of experts and preferred vendors who can help create and execute a seamless moving plan. To learn more about these resources, we recently spoke with Sharon Baksa, who has led the Erickson Realty and Moving Services program for the past 20 years. 

Q: What help are people looking for when they move?

A: For seniors who may have lived in the same house for decades, planning a move may seem like a big task. But we're available to help every step of the way! 

We can offer space planning for their new home, offer tips on downsizing, take care of any items that are no longer wanted, and recommend real estate and planning professionals, based on their unique needs. 

Many Priority List members take advantage of all these services, as it takes a lot of stress off their plate. 

Q: How does Erickson Realty and Moving Services simplify the moving process?

A: Whether you're ready to embrace a vibrant, worry-free lifestyle as soon as possible or you already have a time frame in mind and are looking to get ahead, Erickson Realty and Moving Services can help.

Erickson Realty and Moving Services has been instrumental in guiding seniors to their new maintenance-free homes for two decades. The program centers around experts who provide customized solutions for every step of the planning process--even when it comes to donating or selling items you no longer want. 

In fact, I often hear from appreciative residents who credit this exclusive program for making their move successful--and easier than they ever imagined!

Q: What is a planning and moving consultant's role, and how do they help?

A: Having a partner who understands your goals for retirement and the steps you need to take makes all the difference. Your planning and moving consultant, a member of the sales team at the Erickson Senior Living community you choose, knows the importance of this next chapter and is happy to help you take the next step. 

What will fit in your new space and bring the most value to you? How will you streamline and simplify the organizing process? You'll work together to answer these questions and craft a plan that best suits your desired outcome. 

Your planning and moving consultant can also introduce you to other professionals, like senior move managers, who specialize in executing the move on your behalf. These experts are specifically chosen for their track record of exceeding expectations.

Q: Why is now the right time to plan for a move to an Erickson Senior Living community?

A: Thoughtfully planning your move should be the first course of action to ensure everything runs smoothly. Luckily, it can be done at any time! 

The current real estate market is another exceptional reason for planning a move now. There's a low inventory of properties to sell, and there's a strong demand among buyers. This means that our preferred real estate agents can help you get top dollar for your house! And, because home sales usually happen within days or weeks of listing, you might even be settled into your new residence before the holidays. 

Being able to check off actionable steps is rewarding, but you don't have to do it alone. By joining the Priority List, you'll get all the support you need to make a seamless transition to your new home.
