Senior Transition Advisory
Stop Guessing.
Get Real Answers in 20 Minutes.
A free, no-pressure call to cut through the confusion — so you can make clear-headed decisions about your parent's home, care, and financial future.
No sales pitch. No obligation. Just clarity.
This Process Is Harder Than Anyone Tells You
You're managing your parent's safety, their finances, the house, the family dynamics, and your own life — all at once. Most families don't realize how much is at stake until they've already made a costly mistake.

Your realtor probably can't help with this. They know how to list houses — not how to navigate a senior transition where the home, the care plan, the finances, and the family all have to move together.
How Working With Ryan Works
Every engagement starts the same way — a conversation. From there, we figure out what you actually need.
1
Start With a Free 20-Minute Call
You tell me what's going on. I ask the questions most advisors don't think to ask — about the house, the finances, the family, and the timeline. You'll leave with clarity on what to do next, whether we work together or not.
Free — Always

We Build Your Plan Together
Based on your situation, I'll recommend the right path: maybe it's a simple agent referral to someone I've personally vetted. Maybe it's full transition consulting where I walk alongside you through every decision. Maybe it's both. Every family is different.
Customized to you

I Stay With You Through the Transition
This isn't a one-call relationship. I check in at 30, 90, 180, and 365 days — because transitions don't end at closing. I protect your family's interests from the first conversation through the last box unpacked.

What Families Call Me About
Selling the Home
Should you list traditionally, sell as-is, explore creative strategies, or avoid the wholesalers flooding your mailbox? I know 5 exit strategies most realtors don't.
Repairs & Prep Decisions
8+ years of construction project management means I can walk your property and tell you what's a $500 fix versus a $5,000 problem — before a contractor takes advantage of you.
Financial & Legal Planning
Medicare gaps, Medicaid planning, estate documents, beneficiary audits — the financial side of transitions is where families lose the most money without knowing it.
Family Communication
Siblings fighting, parents refusing to move, one person doing all the work. I help facilitate the hard conversations families have been avoiding.
Senior Living Evaluation
Touring communities, comparing costs, spotting red flags. I'll tell you what to look for — and what the marketing brochures leave out.
Wholesaler Protection
If someone has offered to "buy your house fast for cash" — call me before you sign anything. I used to be one of those investors. I know exactly how the game works.

I'm giving you the truth your realtor won't tell you — because I'm not trying to get the listing. I'm trying to protect your family.
— Ryan Riggins
Why Families Trust Ryan
Most senior transition advisors come from social work or real estate sales. I come from the other side of the table — and that's what makes the difference.
Background & Credentials
8+ years of construction project management — I've managed renovation budgets, hired subcontractors, and flipped houses. I see homes through the lens of an investor and project manager, not a salesperson.
8+ years as a real estate investor — I used to buy houses from families in your exact situation. I know every tactic wholesalers and "we buy houses" investors use, because I used to use them myself.
Licensed NC Realtor (#361546, eXp Realty) — I can handle local listings in the Greensboro/Triad area, or connect you with a vetted agent anywhere in the country through my referral network.
Consumer protection advisor — I built this business to protect families from the predatory side of real estate I used to participate in. My job is to make sure no one takes advantage of your family during the most stressful transition of your lives.
