Aged Care & Family Assist

Selling a Family Home, Handled With Care.

When a parent moves into care, the family home has to be dealt with, often quickly, and usually by people who are already stretched. We take that off your hands. Independent appraisal, honest advice, and full management of the sale, at no cost to you.

Who We Help

You Should Not Have to Become a Property Expert Overnight.

Moving a parent into aged care is rarely planned. It happens fast, often after a fall or a diagnosis, and the property decisions land on whoever has the capacity to take them on.

Most families are dealing with this for the first time. There is a house full of a lifetime’s belongings, an accommodation deposit to fund, siblings to keep informed, and a market nobody in the family has any real read on. Agents start calling. Everyone has an opinion on what the place is worth.

We do this every week. Our role is to give you an honest number, tell you plainly what the property needs and does not need, and then manage the entire sale so you can concentrate on your family.

We come to this work with the sensitivity it deserves. We are also completely independent, which means our advice is not shaped by what suits an agent.

Stage One

Appraisal and Reporting

  1. An initial conversation to understand the situation and what the family needs
  2. A full inspection of the property
  3. A comprehensive written appraisal within two business days, including both sale and rental estimates

This stage is obligation-free. If you decide to go no further, you owe us nothing, and you still have an independent property appraisal you can trust.

Stage Two

Managing the Sale

  1. A follow-up conversation to confirm how you want to proceed
  2. Engagement of Locate Negotiate for vendor’s advocacy or leasing advocacy
  3. Selection and appointment of the right selling or leasing agent
  4. Full management of the campaign, with clear communication between you and the agent throughout
  5. Ongoing oversight of the agent, holding them accountable to the result

This stage costs the family nothing. Our fee is paid out of the selling agent’s commission. See our Vendor Advocacy page for details.

Client Words

What Families Tell Us.

Thank you for all you did to help with the management of the sale of our Bondi apartment, from supervising the work needed to make the property really presentable, to choosing an excellent legal firm. You helped make the sale speedy and relatively trouble free for us.

Daphne & Dom G.

Working with John Gibson at Locate Negotiate truly transformed our property search. John’s extensive experience and strategic know-how, paired with his exceptional negotiation skills, helped us land our dream property.

Stuart & Monica K.

We used John to purchase an investment property in Brisbane. He talked us through our strategy, identified areas that met our criteria, and found us a great property in an area we would never have thought to look. Nothing was too much trouble.
