Frequently asked questions
Relocating, whether a senior loved one or military family, can feel overwhelming.
At Aloha Senior 411, we’re here to simplify that journey — and answer your most common questions with clarity. Below are some of the questions we hear most often, along with honest answers to guide you forward.
What exactly does Aloha Senior 411 do?
We provide an all-inclusive service that helps seniors and military families downsize, relocate, and prepare their homes for sale. That includes sorting and packing, junk removal, small home repairs, painting, staging, listing, and selling the property — all coordinated under one roof.
How is your service different from a traditional real estate agent?
While real estate agents focus solely on selling the home, we handle the entire transition process. We do what most agents can’t — clean-outs, donations, minor renovations, and staging — all tailored to seniors and families in transition. We save our clients time, stress, and often 30–40% savings in combined service costs.
Do you work with families living off-island?
Yes, we regularly assist adult children and caregivers who live on the mainland or abroad. We’ll communicate clearly and consistently throughout the process, so you always feel informed — even from thousands of miles away.
What if we don’t have the money upfront for home repairs or moving services?
No problem. Many of our services can be deferred and paid out of escrow at closing, helping families avoid financial strain during a sensitive time. This means we can improve the home’s market value — without asking you to pay for everything right away.
What happens to the belongings that are left behind?
We work with families to pack up and ship keepsakes. Everything else is sorted: Some valuables can be sold, items in good condition are donated, and anything not usable is disposed of responsibly. We take great care in honoring your family’s wishes.
How long does the process usually take?
Every situation is unique, but most transitions take 90 to 120 days from planning to closing. It really depends on how fast the owners can get out of the house and we can get in. We can move quickly if needed, but ideally, we try to get the home looking it's best, so that we can maximize the sales price.
Can you help us find a senior living facility or care home?
Yes. We partner with local care consultants to help identify the right living situation based on health, budget, and personal preferences. Whether staying on Oʻahu or moving to the mainland, we’ll help find the right next step.
How do we get started?
It all starts with a call, (808) 734-7355 or visit AlohaSenior411.com to schedule a free, no-obligation consultation. We’ll schedule a time to sit and take the time to understand your needs, discuss a timeline, and build a customized plan.
How do you help Military and their families
Oahu has several military bases and personnel. Wisely, many opt to take their housing allowance and buy into a home, instead of renting or living on base. Once they move, whether it is by orders or if they were renting out, after leaving for a new location and now feel it is time to sell, we go in and get the home ready to put it on the market for them, relieving them of having to come back and prepare the home to sell.
