I SPECIALIZE IN LATER LIFE TRANSITIONS
I am a Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®), and I enjoy helping seniors to find the perfect home for their next stage of life.
The purchase and sale of a home is very different than it used to be. Each stage of life presents unique opportunities and situations for the people involved.
As a homeowner, you have previously bought and sold homes throughout your life, but as a senior, there are different situations, issues and decisions that can make the selling process unique. Some of these situations may include:
- what types of upgrades or renovations would improve the resale value of the home?
- the process of buying and selling may be very different now than it was when the home was purchased
- the possible involvement of adult children/caregivers in the decision process
- downsizing a lifetime’s worth of possessions
- alternative options: maybe aging parents can remain in the home instead of selling
- selling a family home can be very emotional on the senior and all family members
- physical limitations of a senior when selling a home
Working with seniors has helped me realize that I love being part of a living, loving, learning environment. Seniors may have traveled extensively, held numerous jobs, raised families, or fought in wars, and nearly everybody has met some interesting people along the way. It’s incredibly rewarding to bring back something from their past, something that triggers that long-term memory and gives them comfort. In many cases, they have a treasure trove of stories to share, and plenty of time to do so.
Helping seniors find the perfect home for their next stage of life is very rewarding.
Contact me today if you are a senior or have senior family members that may need the expertise I can offer. I will guide you through the process of selling your home, making the transaction less stressful and more successful.
