Worry-free real estate

I understand the difficulties that can come with selling your home at retirement age. My full-service approach alleviates potential stress by handling all aspects of the transaction. As someone who works with a large senior clientele, I have a true understanding of the obstacles and concerns that you might experience. Dedicated to creating a seamless experience, the process goes at your pace.

I have taken a number of courses specifically designed to help me approach selling for seniors, and I have an S.R.E.S. designation (Seniors Real Estate Specialist).

Guiding your transition

As your guide, I maintain open and honest lines of communication so you always understand what’s happening with your transaction. I help you navigate the transitional process, whether you are downsizing, moving in with loved ones, or moving to assisted living/retirement residences.

I partner exclusively with an industry professional who works specifically with seniors to help them choose the neighbourhoods and communities that cater to senior lifestyles and have the amenities you need to live comfortably.

I manage your transaction with empathy and sensitivity, understanding the emotional experience that is selling a long-held family home; somewhere you may have raised children— even grandchildren—and made a lifetime of memories.

A Plan With You In Mind

Partnering for this process means helping you figure out what your lifestyle needs look like at this stage, and providing assistance every step of the way to help you get there.

01.

Figuring out your new living situation and helping to determine the best options

02.

Connecting you with industry professionals to assist with decluttering, packing, and moving

03.

Allotting time for showings and for viewing new homes that work with your current schedule, causing the least amount of disruption

04.

Providing around the clock assistance for any issues or requests that may come up during the process

I am there at every turn to ease your concerns and provide sensible solutions for any challenges that come up whether you are selling or buying—or both. As a well-connected local realtor, my strong network includes diverse professionals to support your transaction so your experience is smooth and painless.

Helping your parents sell
If you are assisting a senior relative with buying or selling their property, I will communicate with you throughout the transaction. You will be kept up-to-speed with everything that is happening so you have the confidence your loved one’s purchase or sale is being expertly managed. I am transparent about every step, and you will always be able to reach out to me throughout the process.

Empathetic approach

Buying or selling real estate as a senior can be a lot to handle. Work with someone who knows your situation. I support clients in your position every day and personally understand what it is like to transact real estate in retirement age. You will be taken care of by someone who has been in your shoes and has the track record to ensure your success.
