Seniors

As we age our homes may or may not fit our needs. We begin to explore whether a move is necessary. Helene works with you and your family members to assess your unique situation. We will look at your current home design to determine if structurally your home allows you to "age in place". We will also look at financially what options may exist.

Whatever your final decision maybe Helene will be there to assist you. She will explain housing options from other home ownership opportunities to the continuum of rental options. 

Investors

Wouldn't it be cool to have a yellow brick road to follow through this maze of investment opportunities? With foreclosures, bank owned properties, and short sales at a record high, it can be very confusing! You need a guide to navigate your way to the best possible investment opportunities to achieve your financial goals. We begin by you making a list of your financial goals and go over how owning a piece of investment real estate might get you to your financial goals faster.   In most cases a property that has cash flow today will continue to cash flow in the future.  Have you taken a serious look at investment real estate to determine if it is the right thing for your long term financial goals?  Every situation is different.  Investment real estate may not be the right thing for you, but we won’t know for sure until we sit down to discuss it. As a Realtor with a property management background, Helene will assist you through the process.
