OTTAWA SENIORS GATHER FOR TOP REAL ESTATE SEMINAR

OTTAWA SENIORS GATHER FOR TOP REAL ESTATE SEMINAR
It all started with an idea!! I have been a Realtor in Ottawa for over 33 years and, as a Senior myself, and as an Accredited Senior Agent, I recognized the need to have a Seminar for Seniors to assist them with their current and long term real estate needs. Too often we find that this elite group is ignored.Last month we organized the Seminar and had over 100 interested Seniors gather at a local church hall to hear different ideas on selling their homes in today’s marketplace. More than that, we offered direction of what the future could hold for their homes and how to best plan for that future. For many of these people, this was a learning experience to help for long term planning while others expressed an interest in getting the ball rolling sooner. In addition to hearing what we could do for them as their experienced realtor of choice, they were able to listen to ideas from a professional Home Stager as well as a prominent real estate Lawyer. All reports show that this information was found to be most valuable. It was a fantastic afternoon and attendees were appreciative that this was a meeting for gathering ideas and information – not the typical “hard sell” expected with a Realtor.Today’s Seniors who are still in their homes represent a large percentage of the population – they are the Sellers of tomorrow!If you are a Senior yourself, or perhaps the adult child of a Senior, and you need some guidance and direction in this area, it is very important that you have a trusted professional come in and work with you on your needs or future needs. I would recommend anyone who is a Senior to meet with me in an informal setting so that you too can be helped with any needs or questions you might have. We can begin by giving you a complimentary appraisal on your property so that you have a starting place to begin your planning.I look forward to hearing from you either to answer your queries, or to book an appointment for a complimentary, confidential and no-obligation consultation.Marianne Baird Anderson
