Downsizing or assisted living
Moving out of a home you have lived in for decades is a big change, whether it is a smaller place, a move near family, or assisted living. The house holds years of memories, and the work of selling it can feel like too much on top of the move.
- Takes about 2 minutes
- No obligation to sell
What this situation usually means
Most people in this spot are not trying to get the last dollar. They are trying to move without carrying repairs, a cleanout, and showing days all at once.
The house may have deferred maintenance after years of living in it, and the timing often depends on a care facility's start date or a family member's plan. A direct sale lets you set the closing around the move, rather than hoping a buyer shows up when you need one.
How Covent helps
We buy the house as it is. No fix-ups, no staging, and no deep cleaning before closing.
We can work with a family member, caregiver, or someone holding power of attorney, as long as the right person signs.
We close in 14 to 60 days from a signed contract, and you can choose the day that fits the move.
Belongings you leave behind can stay. We handle what is left.
What we need to look at
- The address, and the date you hope to move.
- Who will sign, whether that is you, a spouse, or someone with power of attorney.
- A rough idea of the condition, and any mortgage on the house.

Common questions
If they have legal authority, such as a power of attorney, they can sign for you. An elder law or estate attorney can confirm what your documents allow.
Not necessarily. Tell us your move date and we will plan the closing around it.
Take what you want. Anything you leave behind is ours to deal with after closing.
It can. We cannot advise on that, so please speak with an elder law attorney or financial professional before you sign.
