How Debbi can help Seniors Dance into their Next Chapter

Baby Boomers Hold the Keys: Unlocking Equity and Embracing Life’s Next Chapter

Did you know that Baby Boomers hold more home equity than any other generation?
After decades of homeownership, many Boomers are now sitting on a goldmine. In fact, according to recent studies, Baby Boomers control over 40% of the nation’s housing wealth. Yet many remain in large homes that no longer suit their current lifestyle—homes that are filled with memories, yes, but also stairs, unused rooms, and maintenance demands.

As a Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES®) and downsizing expert, I help Baby Boomers and seniors make sense of their options—and more importantly, their opportunities.


Why Now Might Be the Right Time to Sell

Whether it’s the desire to be closer to family, explore a new lifestyle, or simplify your surroundings, many seniors are beginning to ask:

“What’s next for me?”

With today’s real estate market still seeing steady demand, this is an ideal time to unlock the equity you’ve built and use it to fund a new chapter of your life—one filled with freedom, flexibility, and peace of mind.


Common Reasons Boomers Are Making a Move:

  • Downsizing to a more manageable home or condo
  • Relocating to be near children and grandchildren
  • Transitioning to independent or assisted living communities
  • Leveraging equity to travel, invest, or enhance retirement
  • Minimizing upkeep and maximizing quality of life

You Don’t Have to Do It Alone

Let’s face it—selling a home after 20, 30, or even 40+ years can feel overwhelming. The emotional weight, the logistics, and the “Where do I start?” questions can stall progress before it even begins.

That’s where I come in.

As the founder of Seniors Next Chapter, I specialize in supporting seniors and their families through this exact process. I combine deep real estate expertise with compassion, patience, and a carefully curated network of trusted professionals—from movers to estate sale organizers, home stagers to contractors.


Here’s How I Help:

  • Step-by-Step Guidance: From preparing your home for sale to finding your next place, I walk you through every step.
  • Customized Plans: No two transitions are alike. I create a tailored roadmap based on your goals and timeline.
  • Trusted Resources: I connect you with downsizing services, relocation experts, legal and financial advisors.
  • Compassionate Support: I’ve helped many clients navigate this life transition—and I treat every situation with care and understanding.
