“Peggy made the process of downsizing and moving my aunt out of her home of over 45 years remarkably smooth and stress-free for my mom and I. She showed great patience and tremendous respect, while working tirelessly to create a seamless transition throughout.” — Amy Carroll
Q How are senior moves different?
A For older adults, selling a long-time home and downsizing can have considerable emotional impact. Recognizing my clients’ physical and emotional needs, potential technological challenges and their preferred pace is essential. In addition to my real estate expertise, I work with a network of professionals who share my empathy and compassion for seniors who are transitioning.
Senior moves often involve collaboration with adult children, requiring respect and communication with all parties to build trust. Carefully guiding seniors and their families through the many steps in preparing a home for sale, from initial consultation until comfortably settled in their new home, helps ensure a seamless transition. Amy Carroll shared, “Peggy made the process of downsizing my aunt and moving her out of her home of 45-plus years remarkably smooth and stress-free.”
Q How do you tailor your services to meet clients’ unique needs?
A I begin with a clear understanding of their preferences and concerns, then provide a plan with options within their budget and timeframe. Patience is key as seniors navigate the complexities of such a huge life change. Success for me is knowing that I’ve helped make their transition as easy as possible. Says client Carolyn Frank, “Thanks to her experience and patience, Peggy guided me through what became a year-long process, downsizing from my suburban home into a Bethesda condo, showing me several condo options even before listing my home. The resources and guidance she provided readying my home for sale, and throughout the transition, were invaluable.”
