  • Creating a customized plan and tailored marketing strategies to effectively market their homes or find the perfect new living situation
  • Are well-versed in the diverse range of housing options available to seniors, from downsizing to aging in place or transitioning to retirement communities.

My Story 35 years and counting

Raised on a farm in central PA, my roots run deep in the region. Since 1997, I've proudly called Lebanon County home. I first ventured into the dynamic world of real estate in 1989 in Lancaster County, specializing in residential and farm properties. In 2002, I took a bold step by establishing a marketing company that has since been a driving force behind marketing of my real estate listings.
Specializing in serving those aged 50 and above, my expertise lies in guiding individuals through pivotal life transitions – whether it's the decision to downsize, relocate, age in place, or explore independent and retirement communities. Alternatively, I am well-versed in providing compassionate support to those navigating the challenging journey of helping elderly parents or loved ones transition into assisted living or nursing home communities.
My commitment to this specialty niche stems from a personal connection and a deep understanding of the complexities surrounding real estate decisions in later stages of life. With a focused approach on senior moves, I bring not only professional proficiency but also a genuine caring demeanor, empathy, and a wealth of knowledge and resources to every engagement.

Real Life helping mom

Mom and her buddy, Zeke
In 2014, my mother came to live with us as she faced the challenges of dementia, opening my eyes to the myriad complexities of senior care. From navigating government-funded services to handling health concerns, financial matters, and even securing Veteran's Benefits, the journey was a comprehensive lesson. In 2018, she moved to a remarkable memory-care facility, bringing relief and cherished moments of connection. However, the pandemic brought unforeseen changes in 2021, altering her living situation and necessitating urgent searches for skilled nursing options. After a relentless pursuit, we found a suitable community in April 2023. Surprisingly, the move revitalized her spirit; she's content, engaged, and cherished in her new home. The interactions, smiles, and bonds she forms within the community are a testament to her resilience and the dedicated care she receives from both residents and staff.

When you're ready to embark on your transformative journey...

I'm here to provide the guidance and support you deserve. Let's have a conversation tailored to your needs, whether it's about the big questions on your mind, navigating senior living options, downsizing with ease, or any other aspect of seniors real estate. Your next chapter is waiting, and I'm just a phone call away. Let's start this exciting new chapter together.
