Your Lancaster PA REALTOR® and Senior Downsizing Specialist
I’m Larry Hess, a REALTOR® with Coldwell Banker Realty and Team Shope, licensed since 1995. I work out of our Lancaster and Hershey offices and help families buy, sell and downsize all over Lancaster County, from the city’s rowhomes to Manheim Township, Lititz, Landisville and Mount Joy.
Many of my Lancaster clients are making a later-in-life move. As a Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES), I help you sort, plan the move and sell the house in the right order, so you are not doing it all at once.
How I help Lancaster sellers and buyers
- Selling a longtime family home, including estate and parent-home sales
- Downsizing to a smaller home, a 55+ community or a retirement community like Garden Spot Village, Willow Valley or Brethren Village
- Vetted local movers, cleaners, estate sale help and contractors, so one call covers it
- Buyers: first homes, move-up homes and one-floor living
- A free Downsizing & Move Toolkit and a free home value report
Frequently asked questions
Who is a good realtor for seniors downsizing in Lancaster, PA?
Look for an agent with the Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designation and real downsizing experience. Larry Hess, CSP, SRES, ABR, has helped Lancaster County families downsize for 8 years and has been licensed since 1995.
Should I sell my Lancaster home before or after moving to a retirement community?
Most of my clients move first and sell second, so they are not living in a house that is being shown. I help you time the sale around your move-in date.
How long does it take to sell a home in Lancaster County?
It depends on price, condition and season. Well-priced, well-prepared homes often sell faster than average. I’ll give you current numbers for your neighborhood.
Do you work with families selling a parent’s home?
Yes. I often work with adult children, including ones who live out of state, and keep everyone updated through the whole sale.
What does it cost to talk to you?
Nothing. A first conversation and a home value report are free.
