Life Transition Services

Leaving a home filled with years of memories is a major life transition and having the right support makes all the difference. As a REALTOR®, SRES®, and ABR® with Coldwell Banker Realty and Team Shope, Larry Hess spent over seven years running his own senior transition business before bringing that specialized experience into real estate. He personally guides you through space planning and sorting decisions, then seamlessly coordinates vetted downsizing specialists, movers, cleaners, and contractors. While Larry handles the heavy lifting and home sale, you can comfortably focus on what's next. Proudly serving Lancaster, Dauphin, Lebanon, and York Counties.

Professional Downsizing

Larry connects clients with his trusted network of highly experienced professional downsizing specialists, who handle everything from sorting and packing to thoughtful personal property allocation among family, friends, auction houses, donation centers, and waste management facilities.

Professional Movers

Once the home is ready to move, professional movers take over — backed by newer trucks and top-quality equipment, and staffed by trusted, knowledgeable employees rather than subcontractors — ensuring a smooth, well-coordinated transition to the next residence.

Professional House Cleaners

Professional house cleaners prepare the departing home so it shows beautifully and is left in pristine condition.

Professional Contractors and Landscapers

When repairs, updates, or curb appeal work are needed to get top dollar, Larry's vetted contractors and landscapers handle it all — from interior and exterior repairs to full landscaping — coordinated under his direct oversight, so clients never have to manage multiple vendors on their own.

Full Real Estate Representation

From listing to closing, Larry manages every detail of your home sale so you can focus on your transition, not the transaction.

Listing — Larry begins with a comprehensive market analysis to price your home strategically from day one, then guides you through pre-listing preparation — leveraging the same trusted contractors, cleaners, and landscapers coordinating your transition to ensure your home shows at its absolute best.

Marketing — Your home is marketed through professional photography and video, full MLS exposure with syndication to Zillow, Realtor.com, and beyond, and Larry's hyper-local content strategy across social media and search — putting your listing in front of serious buyers actively searching in your neighborhood, not just casual browsers.

Closing — Larry negotiates every offer on your behalf, coordinates inspections, appraisals, and title work, and manages the countless details between accepted offer and closing day — so nothing falls through the cracks and you close with confidence.
