When it comes to one of life’s biggest transitions, you deserve a real estate professional who not only understands the market, but also understands you. As a Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®), I bring the training, resources, and compassion needed to guide clients age 55+ through every step of buying, selling, or transitioning to a new home.

Your needs are different from those of a first-time homebuyer or a young family. You may be:
Preparing for retirement
Downsizing to simplify your lifestyle
Moving closer to family
Considering an active adult or 55+ community
Transitioning to assisted living or memory care
Whatever your reason for moving, my role is to make the process as smooth, informed, and stress-free as possible.
With the SRES® designation, I have specialized expertise in:
Managing financial and emotional considerations when selling a long-held family home
Creating a tailored marketing and sales plan to achieve the best results for your property
Advising on future-focused home choices that meet your needs today and in the years ahead
Leveraging knowledge of retirement-focused financial tools, including reverse mortgages, 401(k) accounts, and IRAs as they relate to real estate decisions
Connecting you with trusted professionals—from movers and estate attorneys to home inspectors and downsizing experts—so you have the right support at every step.
Real estate is never just about the property—it’s about the people, their stories, and their next chapter. My commitment as your SRES® is to be your advocate, resource, and guide, helping you make confident decisions for your future.
Don't hesitate to reach out and get the conversation started.
