A senior placement advisor and a real-estate agent both help with a transition, but they solve very different problems.
The difference
A realtor sells your parent's home. A placement advisor finds and helps secure the right care setting — assisted living, memory care, or in-home care — and understands licensing, care levels, and Medicaid. Many families need both.
Placement advice is free to families; realtors earn a commission on the home sale.
Working together
A coordinated plan — selling the house to fund care while placing your parent — often works best. We can refer trusted senior-focused realtors in Tampa Bay.
