Peace might be one of the last words that come to mind for clients when they think about buying or selling a home.

 

That is until you put your experience and expertise to work for them — taking on the stresses and unknowns behind the scenes.

 

That’s why it means so much when you’re able to partner with someone who shares that same approach to their work, as well.

 

That’s exactly what you get when you partner with the husband-and-wife team of Chuck Wolf and Tina Patterson with Caring Transitions of Central Arizona.

 

As the name of their company illustrates, Chuck and Tina specialize in helping seniors who are moving on from their homes that, in many cases, they have lived in for decades.

 

“We help them figure out what they can take with them. We pack for them. We are not movers, but we manage their move for them. We manage the process for them to make sure everything gets moved,” Chuck says.

 

“And then, if they moved locally, we unpack for them and help them get settled in a new place. And then we do online auctions to liquidate whatever they can’t take with them.”

 

The work that Chuck and Tina carry out is done nationwide, as people move to and from the area.

 

“As part of that, we do online auctions for people. That could include situations where parents who live here in Arizona are retired who are downsizing and moving to be closer to children who live in other parts of the country,” he says.

 

“Or it could be that the parents have passed away and their children need help getting everything cleaned out of the home. In those cases, we are also able to take care of things with online auctions.”

 

Chuck and Tina moved to Arizona from California in 2016. Prior to starting their new chapter with Caring Transitions, Chuck worked as a teacher. In time, as they looked at other career options in Arizona, they looked at other business options, and came across Caring Transitions.

 

“That's something that we could still help people with because I love teaching, because it was about helping students, and Caring Transitions lets us help seniors with transitions. So, we are still in the business of helping people.” Chuck says.

 

The passion for their work comes through loud and clear when you talk with Tina and Chuck.

 

As Tina says, “One of the things that we really appreciate about what we do is being able to serve as an important, one-stop shop for people.”

 

They also take pride in being creative and finding the elements that can really make an auction take off and draw people to a house.

 

Education is a central part of their work, as well.

 

“We work with REALTORS® to do things like sponsoring classes and providing free consultations,” Tina says. “As part of that, we sit down and talk to the customer and discover their needs and then tell them what we can do.”

 

Their efforts have been recognized in a number of ways and have led to a variety of rewarding results. In fact, they were named as the local Micro Business of the Year for 2023.

 

Away from work, Chuck and Tina treasure time together, as well as with their six children in their blended family. In their free time, they enjoy chances to travel and explore new destinations together.

 

At the end of the day, Chuck and Tina dedicate themselves to finding an easier way forward.

 

“It is a stressful situation, and our goal is to make things easier for them. It means a lot when we hear from them that they appreciated the way we came in and took care of everything and made it stress-free,” Chuck says.

 

“We care and we work with heart. We want to relieve the stress and make that process as comfortable and easy as we possibly can.”
