ONE PLAN · CARE AND THE HOME SALE, HANDLED TOGETHER
Selling your parent's home to pay for care? Let one person handle both.
Moving a parent into senior living and selling their home are two of the biggest jobs a family can face, and most people try to do them with two strangers who never talk to each other. Natalie Barrantes does both: a licensed senior placement advisor and a licensed San Diego Realtor, so the care and the home sale move as one coordinated plan.

The house is often what makes the right care possible
For many families, the parent's home is the resource that funds the move. The hard part is timing: the community needs a deposit, the house takes time to sell, and everyone's stressed. When one person is guiding both sides, that timing stops being a crisis and becomes a plan.
Natalie helps you answer the real questions in order:
What level of care does your parent actually need, and what will it cost?
Does the home need to sell to fund it, and when?
What has to happen to the house first, and in what order, so nothing stalls?
How it works when it's all one plan
Start with the care conversation. Care needs, budget, and whether the home is part of the plan. About 15 minutes.
Line up the money and the move. Natalie maps the community options against a realistic sale, so the deposit, the move, and the sale line up instead of colliding.
Handle the home. As your Realtor, Natalie prepares, prices, and sells the home, coordinating movers and clean-out so your parent's transition is calm, not chaotic.
Why one advisor for both
Natalie founded Senior Living Services and holds an RCFE Administrator license, so she knows care from the inside. She's also a licensed Realtor with eXp (DRE #01987601), so the family home is in the same trusted hands. That means no juggling, no repeating the whole story to a second stranger, and no gap where things fall through.
"Natalie jumped in to become our partner, not only caring about finding the best option for us, but being an expert in the pros and cons of different places."

Questions families ask
Do we have to sell the house?
Not always. Sometimes there are other ways to fund care, and sometimes aging in place is the better answer for now. Natalie helps you see the real options first, then decide, no pressure to sell.
Can Natalie actually sell the home, or just refer us out?
She handles it herself. She's a licensed San Diego Realtor (eXp, DRE #01987601), so the same person guiding the care also lists and sells the home.
What if the timing is tight?
That's exactly why doing both together works. Natalie sequences the deposit, the move, and the sale so a tight timeline stays manageable.
Is the placement help still free?
Yes. Placement help is free to your family, the communities pay that fee. The home sale is a standard real-estate service, explained clearly up front.
One conversation covers all of it
