Help them take the
next step,
without carrying the
whole move.
When a parent or grandparent needs to downsize, sell the family home, or move into assisted living, the family usually gets the whole job: the sorting, the movers, the repairs, the showings, and the questions at 9 p.m. You don't have to run it alone. That's my job.
Or call or text me directly at 480-273-6884.
Can you help my parent or grandparent downsize and sell their home? Yes. I'm Tricia Manara, a licensed Arizona Broker with 19 years of experience, and I coordinate senior downsizing and assisted living moves across the East Valley. I handle the sorting, movers, estate sales, staging, repairs, showings, pricing, and a smooth close, so the family stays in control and informed without carrying the whole move. I am a real estate and move-coordination professional, not a care provider or legal or financial advisor, and I can connect your family to trusted local partners for those needs.
The long list of logistics,
handled.
Every family move has a thousand small jobs, and the family ends up with most of them. Here's what becomes my problem instead of yours:
New to all of this? Start with the family's guide: Who helps an aging parent downsize? An East Valley family's guide.
Sorting and decluttering, with compassion
I work at the pace of the person who lived there, not a moving-truck clock. We sort together, or with the estate and move specialists I trust, and nothing leaves the house without the family's say-so.
Movers, estate sales, donations
I line up the movers, estate sale companies, donation pickups, and haulers. You make the calls to family. You don't have to make any calls to vendors.
Prepping and staging for sale
I get the house market-ready and staged to show what it is: a well-cared-for East Valley home. My team does the lifting, and you keep the veto power.
Repairs and contractors
Deferred maintenance? I get bids from contractors I trust, including the handyman and remodel pros in my partner network, and I manage the work so nobody has to babysit a job site.
Showings that respect a person’s routine
Showings run around medical appointments, meals, and rest. Buyers see the home at its best, and your parent or grandparent barely notices the disruption.
Pricing with data, not hope
With 19 years of East Valley sales, a Master’s in Finance, and my AI Listing Advantage™ pricing analysis, the list price comes from comparable sales, not sentiment. That’s how you sell in a timely manner without leaving money on the table.
A smooth close the first time
I run the contract, inspections, appraisal, and closing paperwork so the sale closes clean. Zero drama at closing is not a slogan here. It’s how the process is run.
Five steps, and you stay in the driver's seat.
From the first call to the close, the family stays in control and informed the whole way. No step starts until you're comfortable with it.
First call
We talk through the situation, the timeline, the house, and who does what. You leave the call with a clear picture and no homework.
The plan
I put together a written plan: what to sort, who moves what, what the house needs before it lists, and what closing looks like. The family approves every stage before we start.
Sort, donate, move
With you or with the trusted partners I coordinate, we clear the house at a humane pace. Estate sale, donations, keepsakes, and the move itself are all handled.
List and sell
The home gets staged, photographed, and priced on data. Showings run around your loved one’s routine, offers get negotiated, and you see every step in plain English.
Close and breathe
The sale closes, the keys change hands, and the next chapter starts. You get the records, the referrals for anything left on the list, and a clear finish line.
Why families in the East Valley trust me

19 years of experience
Licensed Arizona Broker (BR567772000), selling across the East Valley through every kind of market. I’ve seen the good years and the sideways ones.
A Master’s in Finance
Pricing a family home while emotions run high needs numbers, not stories. I read the financials the way they should be read.
One of the first AI Certified Realtors
My AI Listing Advantage™ applies data to pricing, marketing, and the sale itself, so the family home gets a modern, honest shot at the market.
Hyperlocal knowledge
I live and work from Gilbert (85296) and sell across Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler, Scottsdale, Tempe, Queen Creek, Apache Junction, and Eastside Phoenix. I know the movers, the contractors, and the neighborhoods.
Zero drama at closing
Direct communication and honest answers. No surprises at the closing table, because the surprises were handled weeks earlier.
No guarantees, because nobody honest gives guarantees in real estate. What I can promise is a process where your family never wonders what's happening next.
What I am, and what I'm not
I'm a licensed Arizona Broker (BR567772000) providing real estate services and move coordination for families. I am not a care provider, and I'm not a legal or financial advisor. Assisted living placement, medical care, estate planning, wills, trusts, and powers of attorney belong to the professionals who practice them full time. Part of my job is pointing your family to trusted local partners for those pieces, and I will, gladly. You stay in charge of the decisions. I keep the moving parts moving.
If you would rather start with those partners, my trusted partners page lists the contractors, lenders, and title professionals I recommend across the East Valley. If you would rather start with the move, that's what this page is for.
Fair Housing and Brokerage information is required.
Let's talk about your family's move.
A short note is plenty. Tell me who you're helping, where they live, and what the situation looks like. I'll get back to you within 24 hours with a straight answer about how I can help, and what it will take.

You don't have to have it figured out first.
Most families call before they know the plan. That's exactly when to call. Ask me anything about the house, the market, the move, or the process. If I can't help, I'll point you to someone trusted who can.
