Eagle’s Trace Realty and Moving Services Program offers key resources

-

While fall signals football season, it’s also an underrated time of the year to sell a house.

In fact, the Eagle’s Trace sales department sports a lineup of profession­als ready to “take the field” for their new customers.

They are a preferred network of Realtors, downsizers, stagers and seniormove managers with decades of experience in the Houston area…all part of the reality and moving services program of Eagle’s Trace.

“Many of our customers have lived in their houses for more than 20 years, so moving can seem overwhelmi­ng at first,” stated Pamela Burgeson, director of sales for the Erickson

Living retirement community in west Houston. “Our goal is to make the entire process stress-free and simple, and we have the resources to make that happen.

“Priority list members have exclusive access to this exciting program.”

It begins with Haven Benoit. As personal moving consultant at Eagle’s Trace, she schedules compliment­ary in-home appointmen­ts with prospectiv­e residents to provide advice on the logistics of moving.

“We discuss the value of staging and downsizing their house so it will sell in the least amount of time at the optimal value,” said Benoit, a native of Houston with 13 years of experience as a Realtor. She also holds a Senior Real Estate Specialist certificat­ion.

“One of my favorite parts of the process is showing a future resident the floor plan of their new apartment home and ‘laying out’ their furniture and other valuables that they will take,” she said. “Combined with the expertise of our move managers, it makes for a seamless moving day.”

Benoit also connects clients to a trusted team of Realtors who are familiar with not only the Houston housing market, but also Eagle’s Trace.

“This is such an advantage for our customers,” said Benoit, who noted that 90 percent of new residents use some element of the program. “The Realtors in our network appreciate that this is more than just a contract negotiatio­n. They understand the nuances of moving into a senior living community and treat our new residents as if they were their parents.”

And now is a perfect time to act.

“We are offering a special incentive for those who move into select apartment homes by the end of 2019,” said Burgeson. “This makes these services even timelier.”

Customers using the realty and moving services program of Eagle’s Trace are eligible for up to $2,000 in moving credits.

Eagle’s Trace, one of 20 continuing care retirement communitie­s developed and managed by Erickson Living, is on a 72-acre campus in west Houston.
