Tips for Choosing Your Next Home in Retirement

For many, making a plan and choosing where to retire to is a daunting and financially stressful endeavor. There was never one place to go to get all the information you need. Jill Kearney has taken her decades of personal and professional experience and condensed it down into a one-hour seminar that starts to debunk myths and the limiting beliefs about your home and lifestyle options in retirement. She asks some big questions: Where is your happy place? Our preferences for locations are different (city, country, coastline) and the preference of how close (or not) to be to family can be vastly different, one person to another.

What do you need in a home and how big does it really have to be? Can selling and moving into an RV be a good strategy? (Answer is “could be” but it’s not likely a 30-year strategy!) How do you minimize personal space while maximizing amenities offered in a community setting? And she answers your big questions, too: What’s the difference between an Independent Living Community and a CCRC and a 55+ Community? What happens when I – or my partner – need a higher level of care? At the end, you’ll have a greater sense of your options and how to approach this decision so it positively impacts your happiness, finances, and future wellbeing.

This series is free and open to the public. We ask that you RSVP to Lisa McCartin at 610-754-7878 ext. 1001 or lmccartin@frederickliving.org to reserve your seat.

Prepping for Sale: How to Make Homebuyers Fall in Love

The great news is that there has never been a better time to sell your home! Home buyers in Eastern PA are desperate to find a home they can “bid and win” as there are very few homes available and a lot of competition each time one pops up on the market. That said, there are still homes that “sit” as buyers take a look and quickly pass. Why does this happen? How can you make sure yours is one of the ones that gets multiple offers? Using actual photos from past projects, the internet, and some from our favorite HGTV shows, attendees will be able to visualize how professional stagers like Jill have spent decades making buyers fall in love.

This series is free and open to the public. We ask that you RSVP to Lisa McCartin at 610-754-7878 ext. 1001 or lmccartin@frederickliving.org to reserve your seat.
