Downsizing isn’t just a transaction; it’s a life change. As a senior London Ontario, Realtor and Broker, I focus on the three pillars that eliminate stress and maximize results:

Hi Ty, amazing! Charlene and I appreciate your patience and counsel in selling our house; your calmness and posture in handling the offers were soothing and enabled us to choose the right offer. We thought a house worth over $1.5 million in this market would take a while, but it didn’t. We didn’t believe you when you said you were lucky! You worked for it. Thank you so much; I’m looking forward to our new home when it’s completed in November. Stay in touch.

London and the surrounding area
I am not trying to be glib, yet as a Realtor who has worked with seniors for 20+ years, I find it pretty sad and costly when it is too late! I get it. Your house is right for you. You are comfortable, enjoy your neighbours, feel safe, and can manage. If that is the case, stay where you are. Maybe with a few renos, you could stay longer. Unfortunately, time changes and challenges may become more complex.
The goal in living a good life should be what is best for you! Some may think this is selfish, but I can assure you that after helping many people downsize, it definitely is not selfish.
No sales pitch—just clarity. We’ll map your next steps and timing. Everything you want exists on the other side of fear.
I recommend a six—to twelve-month timeframe at the latest. This is an excellent time to start thinking about a move; my most contented clients are those who plan two to three years in advance.
You’ve come this far in life; why jeopardize all you’ve accomplished now? You have many options, choices, and decisions; the better informed you are, the better. This is the question I always ask myself when seeking information.

To start, being familiar with your local real estate market and the area you may want to move to is a wise decision, as well as being familiar with the best practices for buying or selling a home.
We have helped hundreds of clients downsize to bungalows or one-floor townhomes, a few to apartment condos, and some to long-term care homes or assisted living facilities.
