Planning for Your Future
For seniors entering the Frisco real estate market, working with the Debi Leavitt Group gives you a team of agents who go beyond helping you navigate the complexity of the real estate transaction. Through the training received under the SRES accreditation, Debi and her team understand the emotional process that is being endured. Selling and buying houses when you’re in your retirement years brings up a lot of uncertainty, such as the following:
How will I cover household expenses upon retirement?
Is an active senior community good for me?
What features should I consider if this is going to be my last move?
By working with the Debi Leavitt Group, all these questions and more will be answered. Even if you’ve navigated the Frisco real estate market before, working through a real estate transaction can be confusing. Allow Debi and her team to take the guesswork out of the process.
Is It Time for Senior Living
Only you and your family can decide when the time is right for senior living. This personal decision should be discussed with care. Here are some things to consider when deciding if the time is right to make a move:
- Are household chores and yard work being maintained?
- Are you able to drive and get out on your own?
- Do you enjoy being around people and socializing, or do you prefer to stay at home?
- How is your mobility?
While there is always more to consider when deciding to move, these questions can be used as a starting point to open the discussion.
Senior Housing Needs
Knowing that the right house today may not meet the needs of tomorrow, the Debi Leavitt Group understands the importance of planning ahead in regard to finances, mobility, health, and personal needs.
With the understanding that there is more than one option available to today’s seniors, Debi and her teamwork to help you decide which option fits you or your loved one’s needs, whether that’s staying in place at the current home, selecting an assisted living facility, or moving to an active senior retirement community. Upon knowing which option suits you best, the team will work hard to get you or your loved one into the home as quickly as possible.
Connecting You With Vendors
Should an outside vendor be needed, the Debi Leavitt Group will connect you with a specialist outside of real estate to ensure help is given when planning for the future. These specialists may include lawyers, CPAs, or aging in place specialists. An aging in place specialist is someone who aids in making a modification plan to the existing home. This plan will allow the home to be safe and comfortable as the years go by. Contact the team to get access to their preferred vendor list.
