I am Kim Tucker, a local Kansas City Metro Home Buyer.  

I am also a Mom's House Senior Transition Specialist . . . 

When you put those two together it gives me the unique ability to help seniors and their families who are transitioning to a new living arrangement and are left with a home they no longer need.

With my Certification and my partnership with Mom's House, I am getting a lot of referrals from people who are transitioning into a new home and reaching out for help with their home here and all the stuff left in it here in the Kansas City Metro.  

I recently recorded a video to tell you a little bit more about me, Kim Tucker.  Our company, kcmoHomeBuyer.com.  And how we might be able to help you.

At the end of the video, we share how you can request a free digital copy of my book "Paying for Long-Term Care - The Essential Guide to Understanding and Funding Senior Care"

Having helped my Mother at the end of her life, my Mother In Law navigating Alzheimer's, my Brother In Law with Dementia, and my Father In Law moving to assisted living and sell his home in a whirlwind month . . . plus several others, we have been through what many reading this article have been through and we are here ready to help.

Grab a cup of coffee and take about 13 minutes to watch my video.
