A focus on clients going through a transition
/
Times of transition are a difficult space for all involved, which is why Busby Group is focusing now more than ever on clients who are in this time of change, including our senior-specific client service. Just recently, our own Barb Steinhauser received her Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designation. This was a very natural progression for us as we have always offered specialized care for all clients – but it never hurts to make it official!
While our white glove level service is universal for all Busby Group clients, there are particular facets of our service that are appealing to seniors, including:
Professional coordination. Some of our senior clients own multiple homes requiring conversations and coordination with other trusted professionals such as a family office and medical, financial and legal advisors for their real estate transactions. For senior sellers it’s sometimes more than simply down-sizing or upsizing – it can involve an interstate move or a move to some sort of care facility or community. We are not only accustomed to these situations, but have developed specific strategies and logistics to make sure the process runs smoothly.
Privacy and communication protocols. Unfortunately there are unexpected relocations as the result of an unexpected life/death or disability/medical event. Compounding the situation, the nature of these latter real estate transactions can be fraught with emotion and family dynamics. We offer the professionalism, experience and care each situation demands.
Top broker referrals across the country. Many of our senior clients are lucky snowbirds, headed to the sunny skies Florida, Arizona, or California. We have worked hard to create a closeknit network of likeminded brokers across the country, so that as the need arises we are able to make a great referral. And when we say closeknit, we mean it! We are in constant communication with many of the leading brokers in major cities.
Inventory expertise. For our senior clients, there are a few themes that come up again and again. Most of our senior clients prefer single-story living with easy access to an elevator. A location convenient to retail and grocery shopping is also many times important. Bonus points for an indoor pool, since many of our senior clients love this form of exercise!
