Helping Seniors
Senior Real Estate Specialist
As a Senior Real Estate Specialist, I am qualified to help senior clients and their families face the unique challenges that can accompany buying and selling real estate. From suggesting a variety of housing options and helping select a moving specialist to navigating complex family dynamics, I am here to provide patience, expertise and guidance to make the process as smooth as possible. Selling a family home can be an emotional process, so I take the time to listen to and understand my clients as they face a new chapter of life.
Are you thinking of selling your home to downsize, move in with family, or find a community that fits your needs? Your home can mean more than a place to live–it is probably filled to the brim with memories of raising children and may contain years of collected heirlooms. Many seniors would prefer to continue living in their home, called aging in place. Some circumstances may make that a difficult option:
– Difficulty maintaining home
– Major life events that compel a move
– Desire to be closer to adult children or caretakers
– Financial concerns
– Need of supportive services
Whatever the reason that you or a parent may be considering a move, I am here to guide you through the complex issues and unique situations that may arise during the process.
Selling a senior's home has unique circumstances
More People Involved
Who will be involved in this transaction? Are adult children part of the decision making process? Will everyone be on board?
Financial Implications
How will this sale impact taxes? Is this sale required to move into a more senior focused community? What effects might a sale have on future income?
A Lifetime of Memories
A home can hold many years of memories. Are you ready to downsize? What professionals do you need to successfully move into a smaller space?
