Changes in lifestyle and personal situations can occur quickly and dramatically. Conversely, changes in needs can occur over time until one day you realize that the home that you have been in for so long no longer meets your individual needs today. For example, you may have unused bedrooms or those rooms just collect clutter now, or perhaps you have a two story home and those stairs aren't as easy or convenient as they once were. Maybe that huge yard was once terrific for lots of kids, but now it is just a maintenance expense. When that realization occurs, one of the things you will do is evaluate your home for aging-in-place.
Because America is maturing and over 80% of its contemporary seniors own real estate and/or are buying new properties, there is a real need for Realtors with the skills and knowledge to service the needs of this unique section of our community. Nearly 4 out of 10 property owners over 65 have lived in the same home for over 30 years. The issues facing these clients are unique and special.
Good real estate planning now is the most important issue for financial security. You want to make the wisest decision you can when selling a home, relocating or making any real estate investment change. Our services include real estate counseling. A real estate change may be great for you, and maybe when all things are considered staying where you are is the best option. Sometimes decisions on such important issues take time, and we will work with you through the process.
My team and I will give you an outstanding level of professional and personalized real estate service. We have received specialized training on working with seniors, and are proud to have received our Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designation. Please call or email or call Ray Kutylo and the SCV Home Team for more information.

Some Reports that May Interest You
-"Retirement Income Planning: America's Lifetime Income Challenge"- The paper addresses changes in financial thinking that retirees must make as they transition from full-time work to retirement. It outlines five challenges that retirees face: longevity risk, inflation risk, poor asset allocation, too-rapid withdrawals, and rising health care costs. It also offers specific trade-offs and possible solutions to help achieve a secure retirement.
-"Improving Retirement Readiness: Laying the Groundwork for a Financially Secure Retirement"-This report may be especially helpful to clients still working and planning out their retirement because it provides guidelines for establishing a savings plan to best prepare for a financially secure retirement and ensure that retirees don't outlive their assets. Among the topics are knowing how to maximize tax-deferred retirement savings vehicles and deciding how to properly allocate retirement investment dollars among stocks, bonds, and cash.
-"The Equity You Live in: The Home as a Retirement Savings and Income Option"- Given the booming housing market of past years, many began to view the equity gains in their home as a way to a secure retirement. In light of recent stalling and falling home prices, such a notion may have to be reconsidered. One conclusion of the study is that Americans shouldn't count on home equity as a significant retirement funding source because cycles in real estate can inflict severe damage on a retirement plan that relies too heavily on home equity.
