How to transfer HomeKit accessories to new owners?

Our house has been sold and there are dozens and dozens (maybe hundred) of built in HomeKit accessories (wall switches, controllers, sensors, etc) and we need to transfer home to new owners but can’t figure out how.

Apple does not provide a direct way to transfer HomeKit ownership to a new person. The primary home profile stays tied to your specific Apple Account. To hand over a massive system of built-in accessories, you must factory reset the devices so the new owners can pair them to their own Apple accounts
