What makes me different than other realtors?
As a specialist, I have taken extensive training in issues relating to Seniors housing. As a matter of fact, I hold not one but two specialty designations in the field. I understand a move now is different, because you are different than the last time you may have moved. My training, coupled with my extensive experience helping people in situations just like yours makes things go much more smoothly and worry free for you and your family.
I am a Toronto realtor who specializes in working with people who haven’t bought or sold real estate for decades. I’ll help you create a detailed “Plan with a Purpose”. It’s lightened the anxiety of many of my clients and made things go much easier for them.
If you’ve landed on my website, likely this has been on your mind for a while. Or perhaps it’s come up in family conversations. So you’ve come to a great place to start your journey!
I’ve worked with many seniors (including my own Mother) helping them through this process. In fact, I have run a downsizing seminar series both in person & on-line for years. Now I’m going to share the things my clients have taught me on how to make this process as smooth as possible. The first step starts with a plan (and don’t worry – once the plan is in place I do most of the heavy lifting for you!)
Along came Sue and we knew immediately that it was not going to be as difficult as we thought. Sue worked really hard at selling our house and explained the whole process from start to finish. She was always ready and able to field any questions that we had and she was very knowledgeable about all things pertaining to the housing market. Sue was always available and professional and nothing was too much trouble” Anne & David home sellers & buyers
Creating your own plan and sharing it with friends and family is so important because it allows you to make decisions by choice and not circumstance. Many people leave this late because of fear or reluctance to change – and then a health crisis may force a plan upon you.
The plan we develop together can include:
• identifying available options for your next home in your favorite neighborhood, including rentals, the best condo option or retirement homes
• financial pre-planning ; including how to free up capital cost effectively for a deposit on a purchase or home updates
• Developing a plan to deal with your cherished belongings, including options for selling, contents sales, donating or gifting
· Working out a timetable & calendar to help keep things on track
• Planning home updates to get you top dollar with today’s buyers in mind; co-ordinating trades & quotes for the work with reliable, cost-effective and trustworthy contrators
• Move management, packing, unpacking and help with laying out your new space
• “Stage to Stay ” where my designers can help you design your new space
Right from the first meeting with her we knew we found the agent we wanted to sell our property. Sue was very organized and arrived to the meeting with a strategy already in mind. She took us through this process with calm and professionalism and executed her plan perfectly. I highly recommend that you give Sue a try you will not be disappointed!” Vic & Edith, home sellers

she always has her priorities set with her clients first in mind. We had a time sensitive requirement to sell our home and purchase a condo. She was at our beck [PC1] and call to answer any questions or concerns and was always there for moral support at times of stress in decision making” Steve & Judy, home buyers and sellers
