Are you ready to be an empty nester?
An empty nest is a launch pad. From it, you will start a whole new phase of your life; one where you can pursue new passions, begin new adventures, and take on new challenges.
Traditionally, an “empty nest” is one where the kids have all grown up and left the house to pursue their own independent lives. The family home is now empty and it’s time to rethink what “home” means. Of course you love your kids, but their next stage of life isn’t the end of your curiosity or your experiences.
There are a few important factors that every empty nester thinks about during this process:
Proximity to family - namely kids and grandkids
Any desire to travel, either frequently or permanently
Any desire to remain in a neighborhood, city, or state they love
Any desire to relocate for climate, amenities, or tranquility
Financial costs of maintaining their current property
Mental and emotional health
Whether you’re thinking of moving or staying, there’s incredible value in getting your home appraised and finding answers for the factors above. Your home is often your biggest, if not one of your biggest assets. Understanding its value and anything that could enhance that value can be key to setting up larger financial moves later on.
Empty nesters are incredibly diverse in their wants and needs. Finding an expert realtor to help guide you through this process can be crucial.

What are your options?
Rightsize.
That 4-5 bedroom family home is expensive to own and maintain, now that the kids are gone. Finding a home that makes sense for your new lifestyle is key to leading a successful, fulfilling empty nester life.
Upgrade.
Renovations are disruptive, expensive, and often full of delays and setbacks. Find homes that are turnkey ready with all of the amenities and features you’ve been dying to have in your home.
Second home.
Securing a beach-front bungalow or mountain condo with ski-in/out access gives your whole family a place to vacation comfortably, but can also become a primary or secondary source of income.
Lock and leave.
Are you ready to just leave it all behind and see the world? Lock and leave properties are designed with you in mind and allow you to be gone for months at a time, while you travel to every beach on Earth.
