Welcome to our unique interim housing opportunity.

youngmovers

Homes In Transition, Inc., offers a unique service to help Property Owners sell their vacant houses faster and at a better price. An interesting result of providing this type of service is that it also provides families and individuals the opportunity to live in one of these fine houses for about the cost of a studio apartment!

Our service of providing individuals the opportunity to live in a great house for a great price has roots that go all the way back to 1986!  Homes in Transition was founded in 2009 near the beginning of the Great Recession to again continue the tradition of helping others in turbulent times.

Who are Caretakers?

Often we’re asked, “who are these people that move from house to house”. The short answer is they are people like you. They come from a wide variety of economic backgrounds, employment sectors and educational levels. Some come from out of town looking for a short term housing situation till they get a lay of the land and can find the right neighborhood or build a house. Some come as a result of a crushing economic situation they have recently encountered, divorce, SAVE MONEY, repair their credit and pay off bills. The reality is, the reasons people come stay with HIT are as numerous as the valued Caretakers who call their HIT house, Home.

While this program offers some great benefits, it is different than a traditional rental and we have learned it’s not for everybody! We perform background checks, we require your accommodation of the selling process (showings, open house and closings), we inspect your house regularly to ensure it looks good for the selling process and that the house is being maintained and that we build your understanding of this unique living situation quickly before we get too far down the road. The benefit to you of course is that you get to live in a great house for a fraction of the market rent! Yes, it’s true you will have greater responsibility than a typical rental situation, but if you have clean living habits, are a good citizen and have the desire and ability to perform the minor maintenance, Homes In Transition offers a great opportunity for your interim housing needs.

    My house is in better shape than I left it.
    The house is in better shape because of your involvement . . . I feel terrible she [Caretaker] keeps having things go wrong. I'm grateful she is there and that she and you are giving the house a good shakedown period"

    A friend highly recommended Homes in Transition as the solution.
    Finding a caretaker for property standing vacant awaiting a sale when the owner in unable to remain in it, is a prime concern to those of us to whom this has happened. Everyone knows there is the possibility of vandalism, undetected leaks and/or various other vacant home problems.

    When I found myself in this situation, a friend highly recommended Homes in Transition as the solution. I contacted Tom Schmidt, President of Homes in Transition. From a carefully selected caretakers' work force, Tom matched caretakers along with their furniture to my match my house. Beautiful furniture, delightful people. All aspects of this happening was handled in a profession and pleasant way.

    After a year of trying everything else, our house has now sold/closed in just over 2 months.
    I just wanted to take a moment to send you and your staff a sincere thank you regarding our property. Homes in Transition had a great deal to do with the increase in potential buyer traffic it took for us to get an offer on our home. After a year of trying everything else, our house has now sold/closed in just over 2 months. It was a true pleasure working with you and your staff. Your professionalism and positive attitudes were refreshing and your willingness to move a caretaker in and out in such short notice was nothing short of miraculous. I would highly recommend your services to others and have in fact already started to do so. Thank you again for all of the hard work and help in selling our home.

    Please feel free to use any or all of the above paragraph for your advertising purposes. It has been a pleasure doing business with you.

    Our concerns were negated by your company's actions!
    We arrived in Rio Rancho late Friday night and immediately toured our home on Platina. We were pleasantly surprised to find our home in excellent condition with freshly cleaned carpeting and absolutely no residual pet odor.

    Although we did have serious concerns regarding the caretakers; our concerns were all negated by your company's actions in honoring your guarantee to return our home to "as good as it was" condition. We thank you for keeping your word and wish you continued success.

    Thank you again for your services and support.
