At Ottawa Home Group, we know that selling a home is never just a transaction — it’s a deeply personal experience. Recently, we had the privilege of helping a family sell their late mother’s estate home on Badger Crescent in Ottawa, where she lived for over 40 years.

This was more than just a house — it was a place filled with decades of love, milestones, and cherished memories. Understandably, preparing to sell such a meaningful family home can feel overwhelming, especially when the property has been lived in for so long and needs some extra care.

Preparing the Home for Sale

The home was in rough shape and required thoughtful preparation before hitting the Ottawa real estate market. Our team worked hand-in-hand with the family to guide them through each step — from recommending updates, arranging improvements, and highlighting the unique features of the property. The goal was not only to make the home appealing to buyers, but also to honor the legacy of the family who had lived there for so many years.

Finding the Right Buyer

When selling estate homes in Ottawa, the right buyer is key. We were fortunate to connect with a buyer who saw not only the potential of the house itself, but also the incredible value of the neighborhood. On Badger Crescent, homes are more than just brick and mortar — they’re part of a thriving, family-oriented community.

A Special Closing Gift

To honor the memories of this long-time family home, we surprised our seller with a meaningful gift: a custom painted portrait of the house, framed as a keepsake, along with a basket of thoughtful items. It was our way of saying thank you for their trust, and to give them something tangible to hold onto as they closed this chapter and moved forward.

Why This Story Matters

Estate sales can be emotional, complex, and at times stressful. Our role is to make the process as smooth as possible — handling the details with professionalism, empathy, and care. Selling a loved one’s home isn’t easy, but with the right team, it can become a positive experience that balances respect for the past with hope for the future.

We are incredibly grateful to our clients for allowing us to be part of this journey, and proud to have helped them achieve a successful sale in Ottawa.
