Seniors Real Estate Specialist (S.R.E.S.®)
As a Senior citizen, moving can be stressful and overwhelming. There are physical limitations, and many services you must hire.
My Exclusive One-of-a-kind Seniors Downsizing Program” eliminates ALL the extra phone calls, interviews, stress and costs that downsizing seniors worry about to create a smooth, safe, and exciting experience.
01
Everyone accumulates lots of “stuff” over the years. Stuff we didn’t even know we still have. When moving and downsizing into a smaller living space, you have to decide what to pack and take with you to your new home and what items to give away, donate, sell, or dispose of.
You need to calculate and plan what you can fit into your new living space. As downsizing specialists, we have a system that is proven to make this step easy for you.
02
Seniors aren’t able to pack boxes and rent moving vans. They need professionals for packing personal items, collectables, decor items, clothing, and furniture.

Seniors have lived in their home for years. Without renovations, proper maintenance or updates. My One-of-a-kind Seniors Downsizing Program includes maintenance, minor repairs, deep cleaning, and award-winning staging, to enhance the appeal of your home to Buyers and sell your home for the highest price.
Selling your matrimonial home in divorce combines two of life’s most stressful experiences. It also differs in many critical ways from typical real estate transactions.
As a Real Estate Divorce Specialist (REDS), a Certified Divorce Specialist (CDS®), and a member of the National Association of Divorce Professionals, I’ve had hands-on experience guiding hundreds of couples through the complicated process of selling their matrimonial home during a divorce.
I understand the logistical, legal, and financial challenges of divorce and selling your home. Having experienced divorce myself I also understand the intense emotions you and your family might be facing. This personal experience, combined with my professional expertise, uniquely positions me to support you through every step of this journey.
I’ve created a unique program for couples going through a divorce which accounts for the different laws that apply specifically to the sale of a matrimonial home, different staging & marketing for a divorce sale, different strategies for negotiating, and a modified protocol for my team and staff to ensure both spouses are treated 100% equally, fairly, and with the utmost integrity.

When a couple goes through divorce every professional they hire works exclusively for each individual spouse – except the Realtor. Both spouses are my clients when I sell their matrimonial home in divorce. Both spouses must be treated equally and fairly.
As a divorce specialist, I’m trained to remain unbiased, not choose sides, and communicate effectively with both spouses. I can’t be influenced in any way to choose sides or deviate from the proper laws, protocols and system for selling a matrimonial home in a divorce.
I provide high-quality photos, virtual tours, and feature sheets for all listings. Using the latest online tools, your property is marketed through:
01
I guide you on upgrades and staging to help your home stand out. From minor repairs to beneficial upgrades, I ensure your property is presented in the best light to maximize return on investment.
02
Staging helps your home photograph better and allows buyers to visualize it as their own. A staged home creates a “wow factor,” making it stand out from lived-in properties. Research shows staged homes sell faster and for more money. I’ll assess if staging is needed and if it’s worth the investment.
03
Staging sets your property apart from others by creating a model-home feel. Professionally staged homes consistently sell faster and for more money. I’ll evaluate whether staging is necessary and ensure your property looks its best to maximize appeal.
