At Real Estate Care Service, we understand that entering into care can be a very traumatic and life changing experience for many individuals and their families; particularly when that process involves selling the family home.
As vendor advocates, our services are specifically tailored to help families and powers of attorney understand and manage the process of selling a property, following a loved one entering into care.
With an in depth knowledge of the financial implications of entering aged care, our team understand the importance of obtaining a realistic appraisal to correctly determine the type of accommodation bond and fees one pays in aged care.
Which is why we pride our key strength on selecting not only the best agency, but the best operator within that agency. Whether it be for an appraisal to complete an aged care asset assessment or to sell a home, the right agent matters.
Looking to sell - With over 10 years’ experience working with the aged care industry, our dedicated team are here to help from start to finish, including preparing the property for sale, sourcing the right agent, managing the campaign, conducting the auctions, right through to settlement.
Assisting and working with individuals and families at this testing and transitional time is our passion. We are committed to helping you achieve a hassle-free outcome, at no extra cost to you.

Make a plan, it's a safe bet
Pre-planning your funeral gives you the opportunity to pay in advance and remove the financial burden from your loved ones when it comes time to say goodbye.
Guardian Plan allows you to agree a cost for your funeral at today’s prices, which may save you thousands. And while the price is locked down, you’re free to move. Your Guardian Plan prepaid funeral can be transferred to over 240 locations around Australia.
What are the benefits of pre paid?
A Guardian Plan pre-paid funeral won't only give you peace of mind, it can also save you money with our lock-in price that won't change with inflation. The price depends on what you choose for your funeral. Most people spend around $6,000 - $15,000.
Lock in price
We believe everyone deserves to say goodbye with respect and dignity, regardless of their financial situation. That’s why we’re helping Australians secure today’s prices, for tomorrow’s funerals.
Flexible Payment
While your initial cost will depend on your inclusions, there are no additional fees once you've paid in full. You can pay in full or pay an initial 30% contribution, followed by monthly instalments over 36 months. The choice is yours. Monthly instalment payment is not available for packages, full payment is required at the time of arranging your pre-paid funeral.
Simple paperwork
You can expect a straightforward and quick application process, with no extensive paperwork or health checks required.
Tailor your plan
A prepaid funeral means your loved ones won’t have to worry about making the right decision. It’s a simple way for them to say goodbye in a way that reflects you, your life and your budget.
Pension and entitlements
The Australian Government uses asset tests to determine pension entitlements for a retiree. As Guardian Plan is exempt from these tests, it’s a simple way for seniors to maintain their current age pension benefits.
Security
All payments are held securely by The Over Fifty's Guardian Friendly Society, under APRA regulation.
Guardian Plan is a funeral bond issued by the Over Fifty Guardian Friendly Society Limited (the Society) ABN 81 087 649 063 AFSL 524353.

Making Relocating for Seniors an Easier Experience
Ready Steady Relax can help you manage all aspects of your relocation. We help you sort, pack and move. Then we look after the rest of your things.
Moving is one of those things in life that everyone finds stressful. Seniors often have other issues, like serious health concerns, which have added burdens.
When it is time to downsize or move from the family home to a retirement village or to assisted care, the long list of both large and small jobs can be enormous. And sometimes families do not have the time to help or they live some distance away.
Ready Steady Relax is a business started by Carmel Bradstreet, a social worker who realised that seniors and their families sometimes felt overwhelmed by the prospect of packing up the house, organising services and engaging contractors to complete many of the tasks. This is on top of their day-to-day routine of appointments and activities.
Ready Steady Relax offers supportive management and practical services such as organising cleaners, packers and charities. They also attend to those items that have special significance to the client. For example, Carmel arranged for a special Star Wars Memorabilia Auction for a client with a large collection.
Thanks again Carmel and please pass on our thanks to your team. We really appreciate what you have all done to help mum and dad move into the next phase of their lives. Ali and Matt
In order to help the process work as smoothly as possible, Carmel offers a two-hour free assessment with you and your family. Together, the main priorities and tasks can be identified, as well as any obstacles that may be faced. No job is too small, or too big.
Following the consultation, you receive a comprehensive written quote setting out all the work to be completed and a timeframe. Once this is agreed Ready Steady Relax will maintain contact either via phone or email.
Carmel has assisted and supported members of families who are both interstate and overseas.
'I found Carmel inspired confidence that the seemingly overwhelming task of sorting, cleaning and painting could be done in a short timeframe so the property would be presented professionally for sale.' Linde
Let Ready Steady Relax help you with your relocation to ensure that your experience is both personal and professional.
