When Sherri and her husband Brad reached out to DCI Properties, they were helping Sherri’s mom, Margaret, sell her home on Montgomery Road in St. Thomas. Margaret was 79 years old and had lived in that house her entire life. She had bought it decades earlier from her own parents – Sherri’s grandparents – and it had been in the family for over 50 years.
For Sherri, helping her mom move wasn’t just about selling a house. It was about helping her through a huge life change. Margaret was ready to downsize into an apartment, but after so many years in the same home, it was hard to let go. The house held countless memories – birthdays, holidays, generations of family moments – but it was also becoming too much for her to maintain.
With another winter approaching, Sherri and Brad wanted to make sure Margaret didn’t have to worry about snow, maintenance, or upkeep. They had finally found an apartment that would be ready for her in December, but they needed to sell the house quickly, simply, and without stress.
Margaret had previously met with an agent who told her she would need to fix several things before listing. The house needed work, and she didn’t want to take on any repairs, cleaning, or open houses. That’s when Sherri reached out to DCI Properties.
We met with the family, walked them through the process, and made an offer that worked for everyone. We also arranged for Margaret to leave behind any items she didn’t want to bring to her new apartment; one less thing for her and Sherri to worry about.
By handling the details and coordinating around the move-in date for her new apartment, we were able to make the entire experience smooth and comfortable. It wasn’t just a sale; it was helping a family move forward while honouring the memories that had been built over a lifetime.
💬 Sherry’s Experience in Her Own Words
“The entire staff at DCI Properties were incredibly professional and went out of their way to make sure my elderly mom was comfortable with the process.
We were happy with the deal we made and felt supported along the journey.”

💡 Why This Matters
Sometimes, selling a home isn’t just about the property, it’s about the people and the memories tied to it. For families helping an aging parent downsize, the process can feel emotional and overwhelming. Having a team that listens, respects the situation, and handles every detail with care makes all the difference.
At DCI Properties, we specialize in helping homeowners and families navigate transitions like this one – selling as-is, privately, and at their own pace. Whether it’s your home or a parent’s, our goal is to make the process simple, respectful, and stress-free.
