Downsizing in District 16 & 85750

Leaving the "Big House" without Leaving the Lifestyle

Selling a family home of 30 years is emotional. We handle the logistics so you can focus on the memories.

The "Empty Nest" Transition in District 16

You likely bought your home in Catalina Foothills (District 16) for the schools and the space. But now, the kids have graduated, the bedrooms are empty, and the 4,000 sq ft feels like a maintenance burden.

Whether you are in Skyline (85718) or Ventana Canyon (85750), the thought of packing up 30 years of memories can be paralyzing.

Oliver Realty specializes in the "Senior Transition." We are more than agents; we are project managers for your next chapter.

Step 1: The "Soft Landing" Exit

You shouldn't have to move twice. We specialize in negotiating Seller Lease-Backs.

  • How it works: You close on your home, get the money in the bank, but stay in the house for 30-60 days rent-free.
  • The Benefit: This gives you the cash power to buy your next home (or retirement condo) without the stress of a "concurrent close."

Step 2: The "Zero-Sweat" Move

Don't lift a single box. We open our Rolodex of preferred vendors to handle the heavy lifting for you.

  • Professional Packers: Teams that respectfully wrap, box, and label every item in your home.
  • White-Glove Movers: Trusted crews who know how to handle heavy Santa Fe furniture and fragile art.
  • Estate Liquidation: We coordinate the sale or donation of everything you choose not to take.

Navigating Loss & New Beginnings

A significant portion of our clients are selling due to the passing of a spouse. We understand that this is not just a transaction; it is a closure of a life chapter.

Managing a large Foothills estate alone—with its pool care, landscaping, and maintenance—can feel impossible.

We handle this with extreme care. We can communicate with your adult children, manage the contractors, and ensure the house is prepped for sale without you needing to manage the details. We move at your pace, not the market's pace.

"Michael and Heather handled everything after my husband passed. I didn't have to find a painter or a mover. They just took care of it."

Case Study

The "Stress-Free" Downsize

We recently helped a couple in Sin Vacas (85718) who needed to move closer to grandchildren in Texas. They were overwhelmed by 25 years of accumulated possessions.

We coordinated an estate sale that cleared the home in 3 days, hired a cleaning crew, staged the now-vacant home, and sold it for full price to a remote buyer—all while our clients were already settled in Texas.
