A large part of my practice as a Realtor involves helping seniors & the families of seniors on their journey.  I am a compassionate person who enjoys helping others.  I have found working with seniors to be very rewarding and a wonderful fit for me from a skills and personality standpoint.  I have  earned the Senior Real Estate Specialist designation from the National Association of Realtors.  My specialties include:

• Seniors moving out-of-state
• Seniors downsizing
• Seniors transitioning to Senior Living:  Independent Living Apartments and Assisted Living
• Estates

I enlist a caring and compassionate approach with my senior sellers and their families. I am careful to listen to each client's wants and needs and tailor a home sale approach that is a match for each client.  Common approaches:

• Sell the home precisely as-is (YES!  There IS a substantial market for as-is home sales on the MLS!!)
• Declutter and deep clean prior to home listing - this may still be an "as-is" sale, but a great deep-cleaning will help in garnering a better outcome.  Not up for cleaning?  I can help with resources.  The opportunity for a higher sale price often outweighs the cost of hiring an outside service.  There are even services that will empty out any belongings no longer wanted.
• Light, cosmetic fix-ups:  Fresh paint and new carpeting / flooring can make a big difference!  Always consult with me or your contracted REALTOR before spending money to fix up a home!  I have my finger on the pulse of popular colors and styles that will make the investment worthwhile.  In some cases (where the home will likely be sold to an investor, for instance) fix-ups may not be worthwhile.
