Many seniors are finding themselves in a portion of their lives where they are transitioning in many ways. We are currently going through a “Silver Tsunami”, a massive influx of people who are retiring, which means that there is serious competition in the senior housing market. My job as your Senior Real Estate Specialist is to take away the stress of finding your perfect new home and allow you to sit back and enjoy the process. I focus on 3 important steps to ensure a successful transition for you.

Research is a huge component of any life change, but especially important for seniors thinking about buying or selling a new home. Dale always tell his clients that it is important to “Make your plan before someone else does it for you”! So often people wait until it’s too late to settle their real estate affairs, and then someone else makes those decisions for you, even if it may not fit your needs and wants exactly. Dale works with you as a team to make sure you have a solid plan that will ensure a seamless real estate experience. Using a SRES during your housing transition gives you an advantage because they are experienced in senior transitions and can best advise you on the use of pensions, 401K accounts and IRAs, elder support services, and how to navigate real estate with others involved such as caregivers and family. We make sure your needs are being met and that you feel involved in the buying process as well.

By preparing properly, real estate life transitions can become much easier to complete. Dale works with you through the downsizing process with compassion and sensitivity, so that we can make sure that moving into your new home will be a breeze, but you are able to keep what is important to you. During this phase, we determine the best way to use your senior support services and retirement or pension and pave the way to execute our plan. We understand all of the real estate options available for seniors and will gently guide you through the decision-making process so that you can make decisions you understand and are comfortable with. We know that you need trust in your real estate agent. Dale is an experienced Senior Transition Specialist, and will always make sure seniors are comfortable during the preparation process of any real estate endeavor.

When it is time for you to move into your new home, the work done in steps one and two make this step easier to complete. The research and preparation we have done as a team makes your selling and moving process much less stressful so you are able to enjoy your new home fully! Dale is one of Washington’s longest and most trusted real estate brokers. He understands the emotional and physical toll a transition can take on a senior and will handle listing your home and finding potential buyers so that you don’t have to worry about it. With his experience, you will be sure that you won’t fall victim to transactional pitfalls, and that your home selling and buying will only be with legitimate and screened buyers.
