Doesn’t allow for much of a gradual transition. 

Buyers get spooked easily, plus every year the process gets more complicated with financing, appraisal and inspection issues (which can vary from lender to lender) that could be easily overcome threatening to crash deals without someone experienced in there herding all the "cats" (lol- elements) in the deal to a successful close of escrow.Also most of those comps you are seeing-maybe even all of them- have had a commission and some fees paid by the seller, and the appraisors are aware of that.I hope your home sale goes smoothly.

Don't know all the details yet, but I found this link which gives you a better idea of what they do and how they promote. https://seniorlivingsmart.com/...Essentially, you join their network, become a "certified buyer" and promote the "ease of transitioning" out from ones house in a quicker time frame, no realtor fees, etc. 

We manage 70 units (moving up to 100 this spring), and I think the transition will be very smooth for the new properties we are about to begin managing.
