Compensation and real estate disclosures

You should never have to wonder how your advisor is paid. Here it is, before you ask.

Compensation disclosure

My initial conversation, the free home-value evaluation, the transition plan, and my guidance to you carry no fee. Families do not pay me to explore options.

If a family asks me to sell the home, I am paid a real estate commission under a separate written listing agreement, which I explain fully before you sign anything. Compass Concierge preparation costs, if used, are repaid at closing with no interest and no fees.

Care and community decisions belong with your family's senior-placement professional. I do not receive placement fees from senior living communities, and my housing recommendations never depend on where a family chooses to live. If the right answer is keeping the home, renting it, or waiting, that is exactly what I will tell you.

Referral disclosure

I introduce families to movers, estate sale professionals, contractors, elder law attorneys, financial professionals, care providers, and senior-placement professionals. Each is an independent business, chosen because I have watched them treat families well.

I do not accept payment for referring you to a professional service provider such as an attorney or financial advisor. Where any compensation of any kind exists in a referral, I disclose it in writing before you engage that partner.

You are always free to use your own professionals. My plan works exactly the same either way.

Real estate services disclosure

Eric Breslin, M.A. is a licensed real estate professional in the State of Colorado with nearly two decades of experience. Any listing, purchase, or brokerage service is provided under that license and under a separate written agreement that spells out the commission before you sign anything.

Senior transition guidance and real estate brokerage are separate services. Accepting my guidance never obligates you to list a home with me, and I will say plainly when keeping or renting the home is the better financial decision.

Colorado requires that brokerage relationships be disclosed in writing at the earliest practical opportunity. I will hand you that disclosure and read it with you.

Not licensed advice

I am not an attorney, accountant, physician, or licensed clinical care provider. Nothing I provide is legal, tax, or medical advice.

I help you gather the right questions, then coordinate with the licensed professionals who can answer them.

Equal housing opportunity

I support the Fair Housing Act and Colorado fair housing law. I serve families without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, familial status, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, or source of income.

Every family is shown the full range of options that fit their needs and budget.
