What Families Say
Real reviews from families we’ve helped through important transitions.
Working with Connor was nothing short of amazing! He helped me navigate the emotional and challenging task of being executor for my parents’ estate. From managing an estate sale through a difficult HOA, to clearing out and making donations and eventually selling the home, he walked me through all of it. I am forever grateful for his kindness and attention to detail during a stressful time.

He helped walk me through each step of the estate process without hesitating to answer my questions.

Connor kept us informed of issues and concerns as he coordinated the clear out and deep cleaning of the property. He was efficient and professional in coordinating our estate prep and final sale. We would certainly use his services again and are pleased to refer him to others.

We relieve executors, administrators, trustees, POAs, and downsizing seniors of the complex logistics of a property transition. Our own team manages the senior downsizing and move, we coordinate vetted vendors for the estate sale, clear-out, and property prep, and we list and sell the home — one point of contact from start to finish.
How We Help
Whether you're settling an estate with a home full of belongings, or a senior — or their family — planning the move to senior living, we take it from here. Here's what that includes:
SENIOR LIVING PLACEMENT
Coordinating the Next Chapter
When a property transition is prompted by a move to a senior living community, we connect your family with the right advocate for their situation — whether that's a Geriatric Care Manager (GCM) or a trusted senior living placement advisor — while managing the entire transition timeline.
SENIOR DOWNSIZING & MOVE MANAGEMENT
Managed by Our Own Team
Our downsizing team manages the entire move — a furniture plan for the new residence, side-by-side sorting sessions, packing oversight, and move-day management. We unpack, set up the kitchen, make the beds, and remove every box, so the new home feels like home on day one.
ESTATE SALES
Maximizing the Estate's Return
We help determine the most profitable path for the home's contents. Whether the physical assets require a high-traffic in-person sale, a targeted online auction, or a strategic buyout, we secure the ideal partner and oversee the entire timeline.
DONATIONS
Given a Second Life
We coordinate all logistics with vetted local nonprofits, ensuring items that mattered to your family find a meaningful purpose. Reflecting your choice, you receive appropriate documentation for tax purposes.
CLEAR-OUTS
Nothing Left Behind
Once saleable items are handled and family keepsakes are retrieved, we source competing quotes from vetted local crews and oversee the complete removal of everything remaining — down to a broom-swept finish. Anything of apparent value discovered along the way is flagged for your decision, never discarded.
HOUSE REPAIRS & IMPROVEMENTS
Strategic Enhancements
If the home needs work, we can draw on our vetted network of contractors, we source multiple competitive quotes per project — ensuring exceptional quality while maximizing your return on investment. Whether it's minor touch-ups or essential repairs, we handle the oversight so the home is buyer-ready.
DEEP CLEANS
Top-To-Bottom Detail
We coordinate full-property restorative cleaning through vetted specialist cleaners. From addressing post-clear-out residue to detailing grout, appliances, and baseboards, we ensure complete sanitation. By the time the home reaches photography day, it presents as if it were brand new.
CURB APPEAL & EXTERIOR PREP
Flawless First Impressions
A buyer's decision begins at the curb. We coordinate comprehensive exterior preparation — including professional power washing, hardscape cleaning, and landscape restoration. Timed perfectly for listing photography, these improvements dramatically elevate the property’s market presentation and perceived value.
LISTING & SALE
The Same Person, All the Way Through
Connor personally lists, markets, and negotiates the sale through Elysian Homes by Mark Siwiec & Associates. Because the commission funds the coordination, everything above comes at no additional cost when Home Hands manages your sale — and the person who coordinated your transition is the same person sitting at the closing table.
Step away from the logistics. We have the transition handled.
We invite you to schedule an initial conversation. We'll learn about your situation, and outline a clear, custom plan so you know exactly what to expect.

CONNOR BOYD
CO-FOUNDER | DIRECTOR OF ESTATE & SENIOR TRANSITIONS
Connor Boyd works directly with every Home Hands family from the first phone call to the last box out the door.
He sits at the kitchen table for the initial consultation, oversees every vendor and every project detail, and — because he's also a licensed real estate salesperson with Elysian Homes by Mark Siwiec & Associates — carries the same family through the sale and all the way to the closing table. No handoffs, no second company, no starting over with a stranger.
A lifelong Fairport resident, Connor built Home Hands around a simple belief: that families and seniors navigating one of life's hardest transitions deserve one trusted person in their corner.
