I think we can all agree: remaining in our homes as we age is by far the most desirable scenario. But at some point, this is often no longer an option. When is the right time to downsize into independent or assisted living?

I guide and support my clients when they choose to make the exciting, and often challenging life-transition from their large family home into a much smaller apartment in an Independent or Assisted Living community. My organized and personalized process removes the stress and anxiety from what can be an overwhelming experience, and results in a new, well-designed smaller home that is personal, safe and efficient. 

I believe that everyone, at every age, deserves a home that provides comfort, wellness, and beauty.

I support my clients in creatively monetizing their real estate investments.

A beautifully designed and well-functioning short-term vacation rental can profitably off-set the cost of home ownership. Your cherished retreat can also be a desirable haven for paying guests. The trick is to create a space that’s personal and meaningful for you and your family, while being appealing and durable enough for others. 

And a well-staged home will spark a buyer into imagining themselves living there. Your home suddenly becomes their dream home. The properties I stage suggest the promise of space, ease livability, and the potential for personalization.
