Tips on Buying or Selling Real Estate in the Second Half of Life

Moving late in life is hard. First you must come to terms with the idea, and then decide where to go. There is a range of steps to consider when you prepare to buy, or downsize and sell your house – remember to:

 Select a REALTOR® experienced in and knowledgeable about the area to do an analysis of the property. A REALTOR with the Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES) designation is especially equipped to work with mature clients.

 1.    Make sure your agent has a specific marketing program and performs in a timely way.

2.    If you are selling, pay heed to special problems the agent might indicate, such as whether the house needs work, is too cluttered or too personal.

3.    If you are buying, make sure the agent understands your needs, and is acting to meet them.

4.    Don’t feel overwhelmed. Break the process into steps and take them one at a time.

5.    Look at this as a business transaction. If selling, remember that your home is an asset, no matter how many happy years you spent in it. Try to look at it objectively.

The memories don’t stay with the house, they stay with you.
