Easing an Aging Parent’s Transition to Assisted Living

Jerry Kline (left), realtor with Keller Williams Flagship of Maryland, celebrates with Kathy Doud, on the sale of her mother’s long-time, colonial-style home in Millersville, Maryland.

Caring for an aging or infirm parent is never easy, especially when that mother, father or grandparent lives alone. When the time finally comes for a family member to transition to a more appropriate home or assisted living facility, the son, daughter or caregiver must coordinate the move in the most delicate and sensitive way.

This lovely home, located at 742 Live Oak Drive in Millersville, Maryland, was recently sold for $705,000 by Jerry Kline, realtor, Keller Williams Flagship of Maryland.

Jerry Kline, realtor with Keller Williams Flagship of Maryland, recently helped a family facing this difficult situation. After nearly 40 years of living in her home in the Shipley’s Choice community of Millersville, Maryland, Mary no longer needed or wanted to live in her massive colonial. Her health and lifestyle dictated that she move to an assisted living facility, and her children contacted Jerry to help sell her home.

Daughter Kathy and the rest of her siblings lived outside of Maryland, so they needed as much local help as possible to prepare the home for sale and handle all aspects of the transaction. Jerry dove right in to the project, helping to coordinate contractors to repair and update the home to ensure that it sold for the maximum price.

The property, located at 742 Live Oak Drive in Millersville, recently sold for $705,000. Mary’s transition to her new assisted living facility was seamless, and the family was very appreciative of Jerry’s efforts.

SOLD: The Piney Orchard Townhouse with the Perfect Lawn

The immaculate backyard of 2479 Warm Spring Way in Odenton, Maryland. The home was recently sold by Jerry Kline, realtor, Keller Williams Flagship of Maryland.

Larry Rose puts a lot of love into everything he does. A long-time resident of Odenton’s Piney Orchard community, Larry recently decided to move down south to enjoy his retirement. That meant selling his impeccably kept, end-unit townhome in The Courts of Piney Orchard. To do so, Larry and his wife, Susan, chose Jerry Kline of Keller Williams Flagship of Maryland to help them.

Jerry met Larry several years ago when Larry was volunteering his time on The Courts Homeowners Association Board. Larry during his time on the Board worked tirelessly to improve his community, and in the process he forged many friendships with his neighbors. Even the neighbors who do not know Larry know his house. It is the handsome, brick-front colonial that stands out because of the immaculate yard.

Larry works on his yard every day. The grass is always thick, dark green and perfectly trimmed. The landscaping looks great, too. It’s literally impossible to find a single weed in the front, side or back lawn. Larry likes it that way.

Of course, the inside of the home is just as perfectly maintained. (This is Larry we’re talking about.) The pristine condition of the property and a host of desirable upgrades attracted multiple purchase offers from buyers. Jerry sold the property in three days.

Helping a Parent Transition to Assisted Living . . .

A third-floor unit in this condo building, located at 118 Mountain Road in Glen Burnie, Maryland, was recently sold by Jerry Kline, realtor, Keller Williams Flagship of Maryland. Jerry was contacted by the condo owner’s daughter, who sought help selling the unit so her father could transition to an assisted living facility.

Beth M. contacted Jerry Kline with a challenge: her father’s poor health meant he could no longer climb the stairs to his third-floor condo home in Glen Burnie, Maryland. It was time for her dad to move to an assisted-living facility, and Beth needed to sell her dad’s condo quickly, so he could complete the transition to his new home.

Having worked with Jerry on a previous real estate project, Beth called Jerry to sell the condo. The property was in rather poor condition, but Jerry was able to garner an all-cash offer for the home – at full listing price. Beth then used the proceeds from the sale to get her dad settled in his new place.

Beth & Jerry worked together during a very stressful period for her dad to accomplish an important goal for the family. Thanks, Beth, for choosing Jerry as your listing agent!

If you or someone you know is facing an important life event – getting married, welcoming a new baby, dealing with the death of a loved one, relocating for a new job – Jerry’s there to help you as well. Call Jerry Kline at (443) 924-7418 today!

Jerry Kline Helps a Client Sell His Bowie Home, Buy Another in Davidsonville

Jerry Kline (right), realtor, Keller Williams Flagship of Maryland, appears with multi-transaction clients Matt & Gail. Jerry recently helped Matt & Gail sell their long-time home in Bowie, Maryland, and purchase a new home in the pastoral Anne Arundel County community of Davidsonville.

Matt J. was exploring the back roads of Davidsonville on his motorcycle one day last spring when he suddenly started thinking about what it would be like to live there. Characterized by large, wooded lots, winding, two-lane roads and dozens of pastoral horse farms, Davidsonville is a place that draws people who seek a quieter, slower way of life.

So, Matt & his wife, Gail, decided to make a change. They contacted Jerry Kline, realtor, Keller Williams Flagship of Maryland, to help them sell their Bowie home and purchase a new property in Davidsonville’s Harbor Hills community. Both transactions recently closed.

"Jerry was our realtor for both the purchase of our new home and the sale of our existing home,” Matt said. “My wife and I were both extremely happy with him. He is very knowledgeable and professional, and importantly, he is organized and extremely responsive.”

The series of transactions was particularly complex because the purchase of Matt’s new home was done as part of a corporate relocation, which added several other parties and layers of paperwork to the project.

“Jerry kept track of everything that needed to be done to make both our home purchase and sale as smooth as possible,” Matt said. “He reached out to us without delay when appropriate and was always quick to respond when we reached out to him. He will be our first choice if/when we move again."

Congratulations on your new home purchase, Matt & Gail! Davidsonville is a wonderful community, and we’re sure you’re going to love living there!
