As a Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®), I’m dedicated to helping seniors and their families navigate one of life’s biggest transitions — selling or downsizing a home. Moving can feel overwhelming, but with the right support, it doesn’t have to be. My role is to guide you every step of the way, from preparing your home for sale to coordinating with trusted professionals, always with your goals and comfort in mind.
With over 11 years of experience, 240+ transactions, and a reputation for clear communication and compassionate service, I specialize in making downsizing and later-in-life moves smooth and stress-free for Hendricks County homeowners in Plainfield, Avon, Brownsburg, Danville, Mooresville, and the west side of Indianapolis.
What is an SRES®?
A Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®) is uniquely trained to serve the 50+ market in housing sales and purchases. This designation is awarded only to agents who complete advanced education on guiding seniors and their families through later-in-life real estate decisions.
An SRES® Realtor brings together expertise in:
Housing options for every stage of life, from aging-in-place to assisted living.
Financial and legal considerations unique to senior homeowners.
Emotional and family dynamics that often accompany a sale.
As an SRES®, I also work with a network of specialists, including estate planners, CPAs, eldercare lawyers, and senior-focused service providers. My mission is to help seniors and their families navigate the financial, legal, and emotional decisions that come with selling, downsizing, or relocating.
What Makes an SRES® Different?
Knowledge, experience, and compassion in working with senior homeowners.
Commitment to putting your best interests first, with no-pressure guidance.
Options beyond selling, including resources that may help you stay in your home longer if that’s your goal.
A patient, service-oriented approach — I’ll take the time you need to feel comfortable.
Understanding of the emotional side of selling a longtime home and how to minimize stress.
The ability to work with all generations — seniors, adult children, and caretakers.
Knowledge of local senior housing options in Hendricks County and Indianapolis.
A network of senior-focused professionals to assist with tax counseling, estate planning, and move coordination.
I’m proud to bring these qualities to every client relationship as your Seniors Real Estate Specialist®.
Downsizing with Confidence
Downsizing isn’t just about selling a house — it’s about starting a new chapter. Whether you’re looking at maintenance-free living in a 55+ community, relocating to be closer to family, or simply reducing the upkeep of your home, I’ll guide you with honesty, patience, and practical advice.
Having relocated five times myself due to my husband’s career, I understand the challenges of packing up and moving. That personal experience, combined with my professional systems and processes, allows me to make transitions smoother for my clients and their families.
