Or…How to Unlock the Secrets of Stress-Free Real Estate

Do you love your home but are beginning to feel it’s just too big to maintain, or even keep clean? Or perhaps you’re tired of schlepping up and down the stairs? Or the yardwork is becoming just too much work?

Possibly, it’s time to think about right-sizing, finding a home that fits the lifestyle you’ve settled into. But where to begin? And how to find the right realtor or better yet, an advisor you can trust!? The answer can be…a certified Senior Real Estate Advisor.

The Challenges of Selling and Buying a Home

The process of selling or buying a home isn’t just transactional, it’s a life-altering journey, especially for older adults. There’s much to consider including:

• Understanding your available options and how each one of them will affect you and your family.
• Tax implications surrounding a home that’s enjoyed significant capital gains; and how to economically navigate their resolution.
• Understanding the legal paperwork, their intent and being as comfortable as possible completing them.
• Organizing your belongings, learning how to decide what to keep and what no longer serves you.
• What you really must do to get your home ready for market (it’s often less than you may think!).
• What to expect when you put your home on the market.
• How to make moving day easy-peasy.
