Great turn out today for the Savvy Senior Seminar on Downsizing!

We had 50+ attendees and I was seriously impressed with the top-tier quality of the panelists.

One attendee told me “it was nice to have the steps to downsizing explained in such a simple way. It wasn’t as scary as I thought the process might be.” That really stuck with me. What a win! 😊

Here are some of my takeaways:

When your home is too big, too expensive, too much work, and/or too far from family it’s time to consider selling your home.

Before you start remodeling to get your home ready to sell, get your Realtor’s opinion on what it needs to really shine on the market today.

But, before you spend a penny on those updates, get a home inspection. That’ll tell you what lurks beneath the surface that needs attention. Nothing worse than ripping a new bathroom floor up because you didn’t realize there was a problem underneath 🙇🏻‍♀️

You’ll probably need at least four professionals to get started: a Realtor, a Home Inspector, a Stager, and a Mover.

Curious about, or seriously considering, downsizing for yourself or a loved one?

These local experts (who were also today’s fantastic panelists) are here to help you through the process:

- Dayna Wilson – Certified Downsizing Coach, Senior Housing Professional, and Realtor with DAY Real Estate

- Stephanie Anderson – Founder of Anderson Advisors

- Joe Joffe – Chic Home Interiors

- Shaun Lenhart – Owner and Lead Inspector, Lenhart Home Inspections

What struck me most at today's Pickleball 4 Parkinson's event wasn't just the competition - it was seeing so many Rossmoor residents come together to support a cause that touches so many families.

This year, P4P raised $130k for Parkinson's research! That's $30k above their fundraising goal!

A special THANK YOU to the P4P organizers, volunteers, sponsors, players, and local professionals who helped make this event a success. It's been wonderful seeing familiar faces and reconnecting with friends in the community.

Grateful to be part of a community that comes together for such a meaningful cause. Looking forward to next year!

5.0 star review received on Experience.com for Martha Echols by Robert M S - In spite of the set asides, I am very happy with the results. It is hard for me to pinpoint all of the things. But what I appeciated the most was that you were always willing to answer all of my questions in the greatest detail. Also you were very patient. Another thing is that you always returned my phone calls promptly. And finally you always told me the truth. You were trustworthy in the final analysis.

Beyond just eliminating payments*, a reverse mortgage offers incredible versatility. Whether you need funds for healthcare, home repairs, to supplement income, or simply to build a growing line of credit for peace of mind, it's a powerful tool. You dictate how the funds are used.

If you're seeking more control and security in your financial future, I can show you how a reverse mortgage could be the right path for you. Schedule a complimentary consultation with me today!

*Borrowers must occupy the home as primary residence and remain current on property taxes, homeowner’s insurance, the costs of home maintenance, and any HOA fees.
