YOUR HOME SALE JOURNEY
Starts here
A calmer, more thoughtful way to sell your longtime home.
Selling a home during a life transition is about more than the market.
For many older adults and families, selling a longtime home carries emotional weight. It’s not just about price or timing — it’s about memories, readiness, and making decisions during a season of changeÂ
At Dovetail Companies, we guide older adults and families through this process using our structured Selling With Ease™ approach — designed to create clarity, protect equity, and reduce overwhelm.

When everything feels connected, it’s easy for the process to feel overwhelming.

Specialized Expertise in Senior-Focused Real Estate
Seniors Real Estate Specialists®
As Seniors Real Estate Specialists® (SRES), we are trained to understand the unique financial, emotional, and logistical considerations involved when older adults sell their homes. This designation reflects advanced education in downsizing, equity preservation, family dynamics, and later-life transitions — ensuring that the home sale process is approached with both strategic insight and sensitivity to the realities of aging.
Exclusive Listing Agents
As exclusive listing agents, we represent sellers only. This focused approach allows us to devote our full strategy, advocacy, and negotiation expertise to protecting your interests. By concentrating solely on seller representation, we eliminate divided loyalties and ensure that every recommendation — from pricing to contract terms — is aligned with maximizing your outcome.
In addition to real estate specialization, our leadership holds credentials as a Certified Senior Advisor (CSA®) and Certified Dementia Practitioner (CDP), along with advanced training in emotional wellness and nervous system-informed care.
