Charlottesville Seniors Real Estate Specialist

Many seniors are overwhelmed when faced with the prospect of relocating to a new home.  This is the perfect time to enlist the assistance of a seniors real estate specialist.  A real estate agent who has attained the SRES designation has been trained to assist seniors and their families with this often difficult transition.picture of a moving van

The term senior can cover a wide range of ages and needs.  Some seniors have given a great deal of thought and planning to this next stage of their lives.  They can tell their Charlottesville senior residential specialist, exactly what neighborhood they want to live in and what kind of home they are looking for.  For others this change is thrust upon them quickly and unexpectedly as a result of an illness or other health issue or a death of a spouse.  They and their families may be bewildered and looking for answers.  It can be a very stressful time.  A real estate agent who is knowedgeable about the options that are available is a welcome asset.

Seniors and their families may need help with getting their homes ready for sale as well as packing and moving. A Seniors Real Estate Specialist will have the resources available to do these jobs that are one more thing the senior may find overwhelming.  At Montague Miller we have a concierge service with a long list of vendors who can do whatever task is needed.

At this time of transition there is a wide range of possible housing options depending on each person's situation. The senior may just want to downsize to a smaller home with one level living.  He may prefer to find a home in a golf community with a country club and activities to enrich a retiree's days.  An age restricted or active adult  community will appeal to some.  Finding a home with lawn maintenance included in the HOA is often a requirement.  Some seniors no longer drive and will want a home close in to town and public transportation or taxi service.  There are as many possibilities and combinations of possibilities as there are people.  You real estate agent who specializes in seniors relocation will be able to help you sort through all of the options to choose exactly what is best for you or your family member.

Charlottesville offers many excellent housing opportunities for the next stage of your life.  Let a Charlottesville Senior Real Estate Specialist help with your life transition.

Pam - one of the things I do to help ease the situation is try to include at least one family member, who is involved on a fairly regular basis with my senior clients, to be part of all our discussions and negotations.

Pam  It certainly is a field of realty that demands special training - I earned the designation shortly after it was announced
