Re-Defining the Home Selling Process
Many older adults want and NEED to sell their homes for top dollar, ensuring their hard-earned equity ends up in their own pockets and not those of investors or others looking to make a profit. As the real estate market continues to change our process of supporting mature sellers stays the same: putting YOU at the center of the equation. Lauren and Erin discuss the factors needed for a successful transition and ultimate home sale for older adults and why the various techniques used matter greatly.

Feeling Out of Alignment?
The first step to thriving later in life is to identify what areas of your life are holding you back, where you want to go and what action items must be taken to get you there.

In this episode, Erin and Lauren highlight how aligning your actions with your ultimate goals allows you to shift your mind-set and create real change in your life.
