Ryan Riggins | Senior Transition Advisor and Advocate. I never list the home myself.
Get Me
in Your Corner
Selling a parent's home is one of the biggest financial moves your family will ever make, usually under pressure and on a clock. The wrong agent, or a cash buyer circling at the wrong moment, can cost you fifty thousand dollars or more. You should not have to figure out who to trust on your own. I find and vet the right agent for your exact situation, wherever you are, and stay in it with you the whole way.
And you never sit through the audition. No three appointments, no comparing three prices you have no way to check, and nobody you have to work up the nerve to tell no.
Paid from the commission you would pay anyway. Nothing extra from you.
The right agent, vetted
I hand pick the local agent who fits your situation, then vet them for you.
A second eye and ear
On every offer, contract, and repair call. I catch what costs families money.
No added cost
Paid from the commission you would pay anyway. Nothing extra from you.

Quick answer · Get Me in Your Corner
What is Get Me in Your Corner?
It is a real estate referral service from Ryan Riggins, a licensed North Carolina broker with eXp Realty. Ryan finds and vets the right local real estate agent for your family's situation, wherever the home is, and stays involved as your advocate and a second set of eyes on the sale. It costs you nothing beyond the commission you would already pay, because Ryan is compensated by a referral fee paid agent to agent through eXp out of that commission. He is the referring broker, not your listing agent.
What families are up against
The moment a senior's home sale becomes necessary, the wrong people show up first.
The wrong agent
Picked off a yard sign or a friend of a friend, with no idea whether they know a senior sale from any other.
The circling cash buyer
Mailers, calls, and door knocks with offers thirty to fifty percent under value, built on your urgency.
The $50,000 mistakes
A needless remodel, a panic sale, a contract nobody read closely. Quiet money, gone for good.
No one in your corner
Everybody at the table is paid on the deal closing. Nobody is paid to protect your family.
The clock
A discharge date, a deposit due, a sibling pushing. Pressure makes the costly, easy choice look like the only one.
The distance
You are two states away trying to manage a sale you cannot see, through people you have never met.
This is exactly where I step in. Not as one more person paid on the sale, but as the one in your corner making sure it is done right.
And then there is the part nobody warns you about
Everything above is someone behaving badly. This next part happens even when everyone behaves perfectly, and it is the reason most families put off the phone call far longer than they should.
Call an agent today and they want the house listed by the weekend. That is not them being pushy. That is the job. Listing houses is what they do, and the clock starts the moment you pick up the phone. Most families are nowhere near that stage. You might be two years out. You might still be deciding whether she moves at all.
What the usual path costs you
- Three appointments, and cleaning the house three times.
- Sitting at your own kitchen table while a stranger compliments the crown molding.
- Three different prices, with no way to tell which one is real.
- Working up the nerve to tell two people who were kind to your mother that the answer is no.
Why the meeting cannot help you anyway
A listing presentation tells you how well somebody sells. It tells you nothing about how well they sell houses, and those are different jobs. The number in it is a sales document too. The oldest move in this business is quoting high to win the listing, then asking for a price reduction in week five.
And there is one answer that meeting can never produce. Nobody sets up a laptop at your kitchen table and concludes that the right move is to stay another two years, or sell as is, or wait until the look back clears. No agent's listing presentation has ever ended with “do not sell.” That is often the answer a family most needs on the table.
So talk to me before you are ready, and nothing starts. Nobody interviews the plumber, the electrician, and the roofer. You hire one person who already knows which ones show up. When it actually is time, you get one name with the reason attached. And if the right answer turns out to be that your family should not sell at all, or not this year, you will hear that from me instead.
How it works
Four steps, and you are in control of how involved I stay at every one.
- 1
Tell me your situation
We start with a free call. Where the home is, where your parent is, the timeline, the family, and what is worrying you most. No pitch, no pressure.
- 2
I find and vet the right agent
I tap a national network and hand pick the local agent who actually fits your situation, then vet them so you are not gambling on a name off a sign. The right person for a senior sale, not just the closest one.
- 3
I stay in your corner
As much or as little as you want. I am a second eye and ear on the offers, the contract, the repair calls, and the strategy, so the things that quietly cost families do not get past you.
- 4
You sell right, protected
The local agent runs the sale and represents you. I make sure it is done the way it should be, and that nobody takes advantage of your family along the way.
What “in your corner” actually means
Anybody can hand you a name and walk away. Staying in your corner means I am still there when the offers come in and the decisions get hard. This is the part that protects your family's money.
- Reading every offer and telling you what it really means, not just the top number.
- Spotting the cash buyer and wholesaler traps before they cost you tens of thousands.
- The repair and prep calls: what pays you back, and what is money down the drain.
- The contract red flags most families never know to look for.
- A straight answer whenever you are unsure, for as long as the sale takes.
Here is exactly how this is set up
Straight talk, because you deserve to know who you are working with and how everyone gets paid.
Who I am here
On this, I am wearing my real estate hat: a licensed North Carolina broker affiliated with eXp Realty. I work as a referral broker, finding and vetting the right local agent for your situation. That agent represents you in the sale. I am your advocate and connector, never your listing or selling agent.
How I am paid
By a referral fee, paid agent to agent through eXp Realty, out of the commission the sale already pays. That is it. Your family pays nothing beyond the commission you would already pay for an agent, and there is no separate bill from me. The local agent earns their share for running the sale, and a portion comes to me for the referral and the advocacy.
One important note. This real estate referral is a service of Ryan Riggins through eXp Realty. It is separate from the education and planning products of Riggins Strategic Solutions, the Blueprint, the Senior Transition Roadmap, and the SeniorSafe app, which belong to that company. Different hats, kept clean on purpose.
The corner is the house. The Roadmap is everything.
Some families want one thing handled right: the sale. Others want the whole transition mapped. Here is how to tell which one you need.
Get Me in Your Corner
The home sale, handled right
The right vetted agent and a second eye on the deal. No added cost to your family. Best when the house is the piece you are worried about getting wrong.
Senior Transition Roadmap
The whole transition, mapped
Everything: a written plan you build with Ryan, the full course and tools, and calls that cover care, legal, financial, and the move, not just the house. Free, by application.
See the Senior Transition RoadmapPlenty of families do both: the Roadmap to plan the whole thing, and me in their corner when the house actually goes to market.
Common questions
Do I have to interview agents?
No. That is most of the point. The usual path is three appointments, cleaning the house three times, three different prices with no way to tell which one is real, and then working up the nerve to tell two people who sat in your mother's living room that the answer is no. You skip all of it. You get one name, sometimes two, with the reason attached, and the interviews already happened because I ran them. The questions I use are in Module 09 of the Blueprint, free, so you can check my work on whoever I send you.
What does this cost me?
Nothing beyond the commission you would already pay on the sale. I am compensated by a referral fee that is paid agent to agent through eXp Realty, out of that existing commission. There is no separate invoice from me and no added cost to your family.
Are you my real estate agent?
No. I find and vet the right local agent for your situation, and that agent represents you in the sale. I stay involved as your advocate and a second set of eyes. I am the referring broker, not your listing or selling agent.
Do you only work in North Carolina?
No. I am a licensed North Carolina real estate broker, and I work as a referral broker to connect you with a vetted local agent wherever your parent's home is. The local agent handles the sale in your state. I stay in your corner throughout.
How is this different from the Senior Transition Roadmap?
This covers the home sale: picking the right agent and keeping a second eye on the deal, at no added cost. The Senior Transition Roadmap is the whole transition, the personalized plan, the course, and the call that cover care, legal, financial, and the move, not just the house. The corner is the house. The Roadmap is everything.
Let's talk before you pick anyone
One free call. Tell me where your family stands, and I will tell you straight whether I can help and who the right agent for your situation looks like. No pitch, no pressure, no cost.
