About Ryan

I’m Ryan Riggins, Senior Transition Advisor for the family home.

Quick answer · The role

What is a Senior Transition Advisor for the family home?

A Senior Transition Advisor for the family home helps a family decide what happens to a parent's house before anyone lists it: the funding math against the community's fee sheet, who can legally sign, and sell, rent or keep. If selling, one vetted local agent. Not a mover, not a placement agent, never the listing agent.

Ryan Riggins professional portrait

Who I am.

I’m the founder of Riggins Strategic Solutions. Before that, I wore a lot of hats: house flipper, construction project manager, restaurant operator, insurance adjuster.

What that combination buys you: I can walk through a property and tell you in 10 minutes what needs fixing, what doesn’t, and what a contractor is about to try to oversell you on. Most families waste $30,000 to $50,000 on updates that don’t return a dime at closing. That’s the mistake I was built to stop.

Why I started Riggins Strategic Solutions.

For 8 years I flipped houses. More than half of what I bought came from seniors or the adult children who’d just inherited Mom’s house.

I saw the same pattern over and over. Families making rushed decisions under crisis pressure. Adult kids accepting the first quick-cash offer because nobody had laid out the options. $50,000 or $100,000 of equity walking out the door because there was no plan.

I decided I couldn’t be on that side of the table anymore.

Now I use everything I learned as an investor to put families in the driver’s seat: how the pricing games work, what contractors pad, and which options actually protect equity.

Welcome to the helpful side.

What I bring to the table.

Real-world experience

15+ property renovations personally managed. Hands-on, not theory.

Construction & project management

Years managing vendors, timelines, and budgets across renovations, restaurants, and insurance claims.

Licensed, and on one side only

Licensed NC broker (#361546, eXp Realty). I never take the listing and I never buy the house.

Systems thinker

Frameworks, checklists, and decision tools that replace guesswork with a repeatable process.

Empathy & patience

Respect for the senior's dignity and the family's timeline. No rush, no pressure.

Insider protection

I know exactly how investors and quick-cash buyers think. I use that knowledge to protect families from predatory offers.

Ryan meeting with a multigenerational family

Beyond the advisory.

I also built Hammock365, a family coordination app for the ongoing part of senior care. Daily check-ins, medication reminders, and Maggie, one assistant for the parent and for the family. Free forever. One paid plan, $14.99 a month for the whole family, adds the document vault, family messaging, and texts to everyone.

And I wrote two books on having the hard conversations: The Unheard Conversation and The Other Side of the Conversation. Both on Amazon.

The advisory work, the app, the books — different shapes, same job: help families handle this without losing their money or their minds.
