Moving day can be a huge hassle, with many unforeseen challenges yet at HELM  we anticipate those challenges to ensure the real estate transaction is smooth from start to finish. We recently guided one of our senior clients from Gibsons to North Vancouver. We met the movers in the early morning, just in case, our client was late due to possible ferry schedule hiccups. Greeting our client with coffee, and water was appreciated. Fresh fruit, dinner, and champagne in the fridge were a lovely surprise for our client to see after everyone left. "Janet you think of everything!" The move went smoothly, and our client is settled and grateful to call North Vancouver home in a bright, large, feels like a rancher condo close to family and friends. Who do you know would value HELM's more than just a move experience, with market expertise, negotiating skills, compassion and customer service handling every detail? Call us anytime, we would honoured to guide you through the often stormy waters of a real estate transaction.   

Happy BC Seniors’ Week! You’re never too old to ________? We are never too old to connect with nature! With smart planning and precautions, all ages can discover the health benefits of fresh air! What are you never too old to do?

Seniors’ real estate needs are unique.

The transition of rightsizing can be exciting. It also can be overwhelming, emotional, and even complicated. My commitment to providing "more than just a move" experience includes making the process of rightsizing run smoothly, ensuring I navigate the often stormy waters of a real estate transaction with compassion and clear communication. With over 20 years of business experience, an alumna of Business in Vancouver's “40 under 40” I gratefully share my resources, award-winning attitude, sales and marketing, negotiating skills, and distinct collaborative approach with my clients and their families. Whom do you know who is looking for a guide? Ask HELM! Let's start with a casual conversation.

The feeling when a client sends you photos of the sunset from the new home they resized to from a detached home they spent decades in? Rewarding! My commitment to providing a "more than just a move" experience includes being there for my clients, many of them seniors providing trusted resources, in-person review, and signing of documents, constant and clear communication of every step of the transaction, and always being a phone call away. Being close to friends, family, doctors are often must-haves when selecting a new home, and for this particular client, the home must-haves included city and mountain views, walking distance to shopping, and parks, all I ensured got checked off the list! It is a true pleasure getting to know my clients, listening to their needs, providing facts, sharing what's next with clear communication, and of course some laughter. Receiving photos, phone calls, and emails from clients and their children, sharing their appreciation I am their Realtor, is gratifying. Moving at any age or stage in one's life can be stressful and overwhelming. Where to start?" This is the most common question I hear.  If you know someone who is thinking of resizing to a home that fits their lifestyle or simply has questions, I'm always up for a cup of coffee or phone conversation, and will happily share facts, options, possibilities, and solutions so people can easily take action with confidence. 

Happy New Year! And what a year it was, again! Our lives and lifestyles continue to change. Is this the year you will say, "It is time to sell and live in a home that fits my lifestyle." Or do you want to stay? There are options, many solutions whether you stay or move. For many people deciding to move or age in place is a life-changing decision. Aging in place is a viable option for many, who are healthy mentally and physically.  Being proactive is the key, so rushed, reactive decisions aren't made, I’ve created HELM, a  rightsizing guide. I understand there are many health factors involved, and there aren't always easy solutions. There are answers and resources to help. HELM is a start, a few questions to consider to help guide you in the direction, that is right for you and your family, so you can make proactive decisions instead of reactive decisions. My goal is to provide facts so you and your family can take action happily and with confidence. Whether you decide to age in place and simply need trusted resources from gardeners to handy persons, or do want to move, whatever is right for you, I’m happy to be your guide. I look forward to hearing from you. 

To move or not to move! Once you know what you want your future to look like, to age in place, or find a new home to ensure you achieve your life goals becomes crystal clear.

Have more questions, just ask! I’m happy to answer them.
