The typical approach to listing and selling their homes may not be appropriate. Special real estate skills may be necessary to guide all parties through the process. You may be dealing with diminished capacities, family considerations, financial considerations and other compounding factors. In Vancouver and increasingly throughout British Columbia, your elderly family member will also have to deal with the difficult issue of affordability. This increases the need to deal very carefully and patiently with everyone who is involved. Doing so will ensure that the seller retains as much of the sales income as possible.
