Esther Davis | Mindful Realtor, North County San Diego

Empty Nest to New Beginning

I’m passionate about helping seniors make one of the most important moves of their lives.  

As a Certified Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES), I understand the unique challenges of later-in-life real estate decisions, from downsizing to aging-in-place.   I also bring my experience as a Professional Organizer to make this transition smoother for you.

Moving can be hard, especially when you’re leaving a home full of memories, but it can also be a fresh start. Imagine:

  • Shedding excess stuff
  • Having a more manageable home
  • Reducing costs
  • Living closer to family
  • Using your home equity for your next chapter
 

Whether you’re looking to live closer to family, find a more manageable home and cash in your home equity, or worried about mobility, I offer expertise, patience, and care to help you can make this important transition with peace of mind.

I handle everything from decluttering and packing to selling and finding a new home.  Here’s how I can help:

  • Clean out and prepare your home to sell for maximum value
  • Market your home to qualified buyers for maximum exposure
  • Negotiate offers and sell your home for the best price
  • Find a home that’s easier to maintain
  • Help you navigate estate planning and avoid probate
  • Transfer your current low property tax rate to your new property
  • Explore reverse mortgage options, if applicable
 

I’ll guide you through each step, so you can focus on the next chapter of your life with peace of mind.  Our goal is to make this major transition easier and less stressful.

Age-In-Place

As we grow older, our housing choices are closely tied to our health.  No one wants to end up in a nursing home or memory care.  Ideally, we are in good health, aging independently in the comfort of our home.  By planning ahead, we can make our home safe and accessible for our golden years.  

Most of all, proactive health measures can minimize the need for nursing homes in the first place.  We can make lifestyle changes that will support mobility as we age, extending both longevity and healthspan.

When you’re ready for your new chapter, give me a call to discuss your needs.  I not only go the extra for your real estate needs, my holistic approach take into account the invisible aspects, the energy, flow, vibe and how that impacts health.
