We are your executive project managers and fiduciaries. Instead of using a rigid, in-house labor crew with hidden markups, we identify, vet, and coordinate trusted, top-tier local specialists — including movers, estate sale liquidators, clear-out crews, cleaners, and trade contractors. Every single vendor quote is passed directly through to you at cost with absolutely zero markups, ensuring you get premium work at competitive local rates.

No, and we do this intentionally to protect your best interests. To maintain a strict fiduciary standard, we remain asset-light and independent. Running an in-house liquidation wing creates an inherent conflict of interest. Instead, we analyze your assets and match you with the absolute best independent estate sale companies or digital auction platforms in the Rochester area, managing the entire setup on your behalf.

Preserving sentimental and valuable items is our top priority. Sorting and inventory management are seamlessly built into your custom roadmap. We coordinate specialized sorters or moving teams to securely pack and transport kept items to your new residence, family members' homes, or a climate-controlled storage facility before any clear-out or real estate prep begins.

This is a core pillar of our concierge care. We handle these situations with immense patience and care, moving entirely at the senior’s preferred pace. We coordinate closely with senior living advisors, gently assist with the emotional downsizing and sorting process, manage the physical relocation to their new community, and then seamlessly transition to prepping the residential property for market.

We offer two transparent tracks tailored completely to your transition goals:

1. The Listing Track: If you choose to list and sell the home with Connor Boyd through Elysian Homes by Mark Siwiec & Associates, our executive project coordination services are completely included and funded through the standard real estate commission at closing. There are zero out-of-pocket project management fees.

2. The Standalone Track: If the family is keeping the home, relocating out of the area, or working with an outside real estate firm, we provide a transparent, custom flat fee based purely on the project’s scope—with 50% due at signing and 50% due upon completion.

There is no catch — it's a smarter structure. When you engage Home Hands for estate coordination — with Connor Boyd acting as your Director of Estate Transitions — and choose to list the property with Connor through Elysian Homes by Mark Siwiec & Associates, the standard real estate commission you would pay any agent at closing completely absorbs the Home Hands Project Management fee.

You are not paying a single dollar for management time that you wouldn't already be paying a traditional agent. The difference is that a traditional agent only steps in after the hard work is done. By listing with Connor, the real estate professional you are already paying is the exact same person who secures the vendor quotes, directs the project management, and oversees the property prep through Home Hands. It is the exact same standard commission, but you get a fully managed estate transition built-in. One dedicated relationship instead of five.

No. While the vast majority of our clients choose the Listing Track for its immense all-inclusive value, our Standalone Track allows you to hire Home Hands strictly for our operational logistics, vendor management, and physical property clear-out oversight.

If you launch your project on the Listing Track but later experience a change in circumstances—such as deciding to retain the home within the family—the project simply transitions to our Standalone Track. You will never be trapped; you will simply be billed our transparent, pre-disclosed flat fee for the project management hours delivered up to that point.

Through our partnership with Elysian Homes by Mark Siwiec & Associates, we bring premium corporate marketing power, hyper-local pricing strategy, and world-class asset presentation to your listing. Our commitment to your family doesn’t expire—we stand by you and continue driving the listing strategy until the property successfully closes.

Not at all. We specialize in seamless, long-distance project coordination. Whether you are an out-of-state executor navigating probate or an adult child managing a parent's relocation from across the country, we serve as your trusted, executive eyes and ears on the ground locally so you never have to waste time and money flying back and forth.

Radical transparency is our operational standard. We provide highly structured updates throughout the project. You will receive real-time status updates keeping you fully informed and in complete control regardless of your timezone.

We are lifelong residents of Fairport, New York, and we proudly serve families, seniors, and estates across the Greater Rochester area and the Finger Lakes region.

Home Hands is a completely independent, locally owned, and founder-led estate and senior transition coordination agency founded and operated by brothers Connor Boyd and Nick Boyd.

No. We are the exact opposite of a cookie-cutter corporate franchise. We intentionally built an agile, asset-light business model so that we could remain fiercely flexible for our clients. Because we don't pay franchise fees or maintain heavy corporate overhead, we can pass 100% of that financial efficiency directly back to our clients.

We are a specialized estate coordination and senior transition advisory agency. To provide our clients with elite real estate execution, Connor Boyd maintains a professional affiliation as a licensed real estate salesperson with Elysian Homes by Mark Siwiec & Associates. While we regularly collaborate with trusted local elder law and estate attorneys, we do not provide legal counsel.

We maintain a strict verification system requiring every third-party vendor in our curated network to be fully licensed, bonded, and insured before entering the property.

We adapt entirely to your timeline. For urgent situations, we can typically conduct a complimentary consultation within 24 to 48 hours, deliver your custom roadmap immediately after, and begin activating our vetted vendor network the moment you approve the plan.

It is a complimentary, zero-pressure consultation. Connor will meet with you at the property to listen to your specific goals, evaluate the home, and outline a tailored roadmap built entirely around your timeline, budget, and unique needs.

No. Our engagement agreements are designed with absolute transparency. They clearly define the exact scope of your chosen track with a simple, hassle-free exit strategy. We believe in earning your trust through daily execution and open communication, not rigid, long-term contractual traps.
