FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS - WE’RE READY WHEN YOU ARE!

WHAT IS A SENIOR REAL ESTATE SPECIALIST?

Later in life, changes can often be complicated. They entail a wide range of feelings and choices. It might be stressful to know or learn about the options available, whether it's staying put (with or without renovations to the current home), moving in with another family member, downsizing to a smaller home/townhome or condo, or relocating to a retirement home or other rental accommodation. As one of the few Lifestyle 55+ Affiliates and Senior Real Estate Specialists in southern Ontario, Tom and his team specialize in senior transitions. Our team's education and experience, access to a wealth of information, a wide range of first-rate professionals, and the ability to present Tom and his family team can provide seniors and their families with solutions and access to a vast network of outstanding specialists. Speak with Tom to learn about your possibilities and feel the empowerment of having choices!

OUR MISSION
Our mission as a Lifestyle 55+ Affiliate and Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES®) is to assist seniors in making decisions about their future residence based on their choice rather than their circumstances. With our additional education and life experiences assisting elders and their families with later-life real estate transactions, we are uniquely suited to assist the 55+ market with house sales and purchases. In addition, we utilize the knowledge of a network of outstanding professionals, such as accountants, attorneys specializing in elder care, contractors experienced in aging in place, estate planners, and others acquainted with the resources and services available in the community. We assist Boomers in moving to new places and work with elders and their families to help them handle the complex legal, financial, and emotional concerns of selling a home. Our role is to provide comprehensive support, from finding the right professionals to handling the paperwork to ensure a smooth transition. We help Boomers move to the home of their dreams and work with elders and their families to help them through the complex legal, financial, and emotional concerns of selling a house. In certain circumstances, it's reasonable for seniors to choose to stay put rather than move soon.

Senior Fact!
According to the 2021 census by Statistics Canada,
Baby boomers — who were born between 1946 and 1965
and were between the ages of 56 and 75 in 2021— represent
24.9% of the Canadian population. In Downtown Toronto,
Baby Boomers make up 17.6% of the population.

CONCERNS THAT SENIORS HAVE

Finances - Will I have enough?

Social - How will I keep up with my friends?

What are my alternatives if I want to stay in my house, but it needs to be modified?

What are my alternatives if I want to stay in my house but need money?
