How is SASH different than other programs that help seniors sell their home? (back to the top)

Most services or programs that help seniors sell their home actually have the senior go through the whole selling process – preparing the home, marketing the home, waiting for a buyer, negotiating the sale, and then hoping for the best outcome. Our focus is different! Since we are the buyer, we can eliminate the stress and unknowns of the normal sale process and provide a simple, comfortable transition.

How long does it take to sell my home with the SASH Program? (back to the top)

That really depends on how much time you would like to make the transition from your current home to your new one. If you need to hurry, we can go through the process in a matter of a couple weeks. If you would like to take your time, we can stretch it out to months, allowing you the time to thoroughly prepare for your move.

How do I know what a good sale price for my home should be? (back to the top)

That’s a great question. After we take a look at your home, we study the recent sales and current real estate activity in your community, and use that information to get an idea of the estimated value of your home. We share this data with you so that you can see how we arrive at our price. Then we offer you a reasonable price for your home, which will be discounted to reflect SASH's many services. If you are looking for the highest sale price possible for your home, we encourage you to put the home on the market with a listing agent.

Does SASH offer the top market value for my home? (back to the top)

No. The SASH Program will offer you a fair price for your home, but it will be lower than the price that your home would sell for on the regular market. Our offer price to you is discounted to reflect the guaranteed, private, custom-designed home sale that we provide, complete with packing and moving services. When we make an offer, we wil explain your options to you so that you can choose the selling plan that best fits your needs.

What if I need help packing and sorting my things? (back to the top)

No problem. SASH can provide the packing and moving assistance that you need. Our Team members can come over and help you organize and pack prior to the move. We'll also provide the complete moving service, if you need it. SASH will even provide unpacking service in your new home - and our professionals will take all the boxes with them. If you don't have anyone to help you, we'll be there to ensure that you have all the assistance you need!

Who will come into my home if I choose to go with the SASH Program? (back to the top)

Only a few members of our Team will come into your home before closing. Someone from the SASH Team will come to the home to discuss the sale with you and make an offer. If you accept, we may have a house inspector come in order to give us a complete report on the property. In most cases, there won’t be more than five people from our Team, and each visit will be carefully arranged around your schedule.

Are the SASH Team Members real estate agents? (back to the top)

No. We are senior service providers who have an extensive background in real estate. We use our experience in purchasing homes to "custom-design" the sale of a senior's home, providing an easy and private sale to the senior. One or more of us may have a real estate license, but we only use it to access information on the MLS for fair, informed offers to our senior homeowners.

Can any senior go through the SASH Program? (back to the top)

SASH is for any senior homeowner, age 60 and over, who meets our qualifications. Our service is an exclusive and private senior home sale service, designed for seniors who would like to skip the stress and hassle of a regular sale. Please visit our How To Qualify page, and call us for details. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you and your family.

What about all of the things in my home? (back to the top)

The SASH Program makes it easy for you to move. Simply select the things that you'd like to take with you, and allow family to come and get the items that are of sentimental value to them. Then, when it's time to move, you can leave any unwanted household items behind. SASH will take care of finding a home for them! When SASH purchases your home, there's no need to leave it empty for us. That's part of our stress-free service!

What kinds of homes will SASH buy? (back to the top)

SASH will consider any home that is owned by a senior, including the following: new construction, regular "stick-built" homes, condominiums, townhomes, mobile homes, manufactured homes, and also investment property and raw land. We learn as much as we can about the senior homeowner's situation, including their reason for selling, and we do research on the property and the current market conditions. If we believe that SASH is not the best selling option for the senior, we'll say so. Our goal is to help the senior in situations where a private and custom designed home sale is the very best option.

In what geographical areas does SASH purchase homes? (back to the top)

SASH's service is focused on the greater Seattle and Puget Sound area in the State of Washington. If your home is outside this area, we will not be able to purchase your home, but we can still assist with providing helpful resources for your home sale.

How is SASH different from other "home-buyers"? (back to the top)

SASH is not just a "home-buyer". SASH is a respected leader in the senior services community, and we are held accountable to high standards of senior care by hundreds of professional senior providers in this area. Other buyers do not have the same background in senior care as SASH does, the same outstanding track record of senior home purchases as we have, and the same extensive list of references from those who have witnessed the extra mile we go for our clients. See our Testimonials page to read our clients' feedback. We purchase seniors' homes with respect, integrity, and service, and we stand apart by the standards we have set.

Are there any situations where SASH is unable to purchase the home? (back to the top)

Yes. Sometimes, we are not able to purchase a senior's home. There are a number of reasons why SASH's service may not be the best home sale option for the senior homeowner. However, in every situation, we take the time to hear the details of the home sale and the seniors' needs. We do our best to offer other resources, and encourage the senior and / or family members to consider other choices or services that may be better suited to their specific needs.

Our goal is to meet or exceed your expectations of respect, integrity, and service during your home sale. Thank you for considering SASH for your home sale.

SASH was founded in 2005 by Rebecca Bomann. Rebecca Bomann saw the need for a private home sale service for seniors when she helped her own grandfather sell his home. Rebecca Bomann believes that seniors deserve an easy home sale service that can assist them through the process, eliminating the terrible stress, work, deadlines, and waiting that her grandfather endured. This is the mission of The SASH Program. SASH stands for Sell A Senior’s Home, or Selling Advantage for Senior Homeowners. The SASH Program is a respected senior service that has an impeccable rating with the Better Business Bureau and an outstanding 100% client satisfaction record. There are no complaints to the Attorney General’s office after several dozen home purchases, because Rebecca Bomann insists on the highest standards of client care, integrity, respect and service in SASH’s business model. Rebecca Bomann began her care of seniors at the age of 12, working in the home of a bedridden elderly woman to prepare meals and do housekeeping for her. Rebecca Bomann continued her care for seniors as director of a small non-profit that served needy families. In addition, Rebecca Bomann has served battered women, homeless families, rape victims, recovering addicts, and teen moms in her years of social work. Rebecca also spent a year in South America working and researching in poor ghettos. Subsequent to her work as a social worker, Rebecca Bomann entered the real estate arena as an investor. This blend of social work and real estate is the foundation of SASH. The SASH Program is designed with the heart of caring and service to those in difficult situations, with the specialized knowledge of real estate and seniors. Thank you for your interest in SASH! We look forward to the opportunity to serve you.
