Senior Home Transitions in Hawaiʻi

Compassionate Help When a Parent’s Home Needs to Be Sold

When a parent or loved one can no longer live safely at home, families are often left overwhelmed — emotionally, logistically, and financially. Questions come quickly: What do we do with the house? How much will this cost? Where do we even start?

Aloha Senior 411 is Hawaiʻi’s trusted senior home transition partner. We help families across Oʻahu and Honolulu navigate one of life’s most difficult transitions with clarity, dignity, and care — handling everything related to the home, so you can focus on your loved one.

Support for assisted living moves or mainland relocation

Military PCS transition support for service members who want to sell their Hawaii home without retuning to the islands.

• Very professional; still caring and attentive to my needs. Just to say how thankful I am to have worked with Aloha Seniors. My mother’s Kailua home, though well maintained for 45 years, still had some quirks to deal with, and Don did a great job handling them. I would not only use them again, but highly recommend them to family and friends.

- P Anderson

Aloha Senior 411 was "transparently productive" throughout and walked along side me throughout the moving and selling process. Always returned calls and emails by the end of day and kept me abreast of where I was in selling process. Don's calm non-invasive neighborly personality allowed me to go about my day without thinking about the property- and 40 days later the exact estimated date, escrow closed! Good job Don and Aloha Seniors.

- A Hayashi

Aloha Seniors 411 was very professional throughout our entire process of clearing out and selling our house. They are very knowledgeable about the Hawaii market and in our area in particular. They made several suggestions from minor repairs, marketing, staging to completing the sale (even with counter offers during the process). Don was always available to talk if we had any questions. They truly exceeded our expectations, and went above and beyond for us!

- Jack B.

"When it came time to sell my sister’s home, we were overwhelmed by everything that needed to be done—clearing out decades of belongings, making repairs, and trying to figure out how to get the best price. Aloha Senior 411 took care of everything. They coordinated the cleanup, brought in their team to make updates, staged the home beautifully, and listed it quickly. The final sales price was far more than we expected. I’m so grateful for their care, professionalism, and the peace of mind they gave our family during a tough time."

• When my company gave me a promotion and told me I needed to move to Colorado within two weeks, I panicked. Fortunately, a friend recommended Aloha Seniors and Don, and I’m so glad I called them. Don immediately put my stress at ease. I packed up my essentials and left for the mainland, trusting him to handle the rest. He worked with and oversaw the movers, then cleared out the house, and made some minor repairs and painting, Don put the house on the market—and it sold within a week! I’m so grateful to Aloha Seniors and Don for turning a seemingly impossible situation into an easy, seamless process. I would wholeheartedly refer him and Aloha Seniors 411 to any of my friends or family.

"I purchased my first home in 2011 while stationed in Honolulu. After being reassigned to Japan in 2016, I chose to keep my home in ʻEwa and rent it out. When I retired in 2021, my family needed me back in Virginia. As my tenants prepared to move out, I found myself unable to return to Hawaiʻi due to family obligations. That’s when Aloha Senior 411 stepped in. They handled everything — from cleanup and repairs to staging and selling — without me ever needing to fly back. I signed everything through a mobile notary in my town. The house sold quickly, and I received above market value."
