Navigating Your Next Chapter with Care, Competence, and Compassion.
Empowering Seniors and Their Families through Real Estate Transitions. Introduction: Deciding to move after 20, 30, or 40 years in a family home is more than just a real estate transaction—it’s a life transition. As a designated Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES®), I have the specialized knowledge and the heart to guide you through the financial and emotional challenges of selling your family home or finding your next perfect space.
Why Choose an SRES®?
Not every REALTOR® understands the unique needs of the 50+ demographic. The SRES® designation is awarded only to those who have completed a comprehensive course in understanding the needs, considerations, and goals of real estate buyers and sellers aged 55 and older.
When you work with me, you aren't just getting a sign in the yard. You’re getting:
- Patience and Respect: I work at your pace, ensuring you feel comfortable and informed at every step.
- Specialized Market Knowledge: I understand the nuances of senior housing options, from active adult communities to assisted living.
- Financial Expertise: I am familiar with how Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECM), pensions, and 401k accounts impact your real estate decisions.
- A "No-Pressure" Approach: My goal is to find the right solution for you, whether that’s selling now, downsizing, or modifying your current home to "age in place."
My "Circle of Support" Network
One of the hardest parts of a transition is knowing who to call. Over the years, I have built a curated network of professionals who specialize in helping seniors. When we work together, you gain access to my trusted partners, including:

2. Aging in Place Consultations Not sure if you should move? I can help evaluate your current home to see if modifications could allow you to stay there safely and comfortably for years to come.
3. Estate Sales & Inherited Properties If you are managing the sale of a loved one's home, I provide the professional sensitivity and logistical support required to handle the estate with care.
