Senior Transitions

It's your turn! 

As we all progress through life our life styles change and our need for housing changes.
Many of these "needs" are dictated by others... 
  • If we are Single we may start off in an apartment... 
  • Just married? Maybe a small house. 
  • As the family grows with children and/or pets, we may need a bigger house in a different area, with specific schools or yards. 

HOWEVER, it is not until our "Golden years",  when we are nearing, or are in, retirement, that we have so many choices!  
These choices will all depend on the type of Lifestyle that we want to live. 
Where you live is fundamental to the lifestyle you will enjoy.

Are you interested in "Aging in Place"? 
We can put you in touch with a network of people who can aid you in converting your home for easier living, specialists who understand reverse mortgages, care communities that can help you with transportation and visiting care takers. 

Not ready to slow down? 
We are familiar with many of the active 55+ Communities with golf courses, club houses and more amenities than many resorts. 

Just want to downsize? 
That family home was wonderful when all 7 kids were at home... but who wants to take care of such a big house now!?  We can help and advise on the best way to make a beneficial move to a smaller or single level home. 

Cut and run? 
Who has time to maintain a yard and/or home when you are always on the go?  Want to jump in that RV and visit all the grandkids?  Sail away on the boat you saved up for?  Let's find you a home that is "Lock and Go".  No yard to worry about, little to no maintenance and in a secure area.  Maybe it is a condo, maybe a townhouse or a single family home within a gated community. 

Hate moving? Want to make this one your last? 
There are fabulous transitional retirement communities in our area that can fit all of your needs. 
Single family independent cottage living, which can phase into condo living with assistance if needed.  The "campus'" offer cafeterias, swimming pools, club houses, theaters, maid service, nursing services, and other on site services.    

We are familiar with all of these options and are happy to explain the pros and cons to each.  Everyone's situation, wants and needs are different.   Let us be your resource.
