Senior-focused Niche Real Estate Firm Provides Options for Home Sellers

How does life look in the seventh, eighth or ninth decade? As one enters this period of life, adorned with wrinkles, heirlooms and too much yard work, there are countless concerns to consider. Selling your home, or relying on your adult children to do so, shouldn’t be one of them.

Rob Perkins and sister Corinne Ross, founders of San Diego-based Senior Home Purchase Program (SHPP), know this all too well. After a decade of residential real estate investing, personal experience led them to the realization that the traditional home selling process can be extremely overwhelming, and they saw an opportunity to remedy this situation.

“We watched our grandparents reach the point of no longer being able to live alone,” said Rob. “We saw the effort it took from our entire family to support them through the transition of selling long-time homes and lining up new residences, calling on family to become experts in real estate, organizing, cleaning and caretaking.”

“We founded SHPP in 2015 with the mission of offering seniors a simple way to transition into senior living,” said Perkins. SHPP offers a direct purchase option, in which SHPP buys the home directly from senior homeowners, at a nominal discount, and with no fees to the seller. This allows the seller to quickly and easily transition into their next home, without any prep work, repairs, or costs.

As SHPP has become popular in the San Diego senior living community, and with recent expansion into Orange County, the company continues to evolve with market conditions. In keeping with their original mission, SHPP has launched their new listing service, Simply Sell, an “easy list and sell” option for clients who might benefit from the more traditional listing method to fully maximize their home’s value.

“Simply Sell offers a streamlined listing process which eliminates many of the inconveniences involved in a home sale,” explains Perkins. “With our expert pricing strategy, full oversight and management of all aspects of the home sale, no upfront cost for repairs, $2,500 paid by us for decluttering, packing and unpacking services, and coordination of move logistics - Simply Sell removes all of these burdens from the home seller, allowing them to focus on their next home.”

Perkins and Ross emphasize that with both programs, they will continue to deliver on their promise to serve seniors with integrity and transparency. “We are in the business of helping people pilot an emotional and financially important decision, and we do not take this lightly,” said Ross.
