Liz Polak & the Seniors Real Estate Group
I am an Accredited Senior Agent since 2015, and together with my team we provide specialized real estate services for adults over the age of 55, seniors and the elderly in Oakville, Mississauga, Burlington and Milton. If you are thinking of Downsizing, Right-Sizing, Smart-Sizing or need help with an Estate Sale, you have come to the right place: The Seniors Real Estate Group is here to help with all your real estate needs.
With the population of Canada aging, the old ways of selling will not provide the diligence and service that will be needed in coming years. I have been trained to deliver excellence of service to those in the mature and senior markets, and their families, who will need special consideration. My business mantra is Making Seniors Matter Again.
I understand the basics of real estate tax planning, estates, capital gains, transition moving and for those in need, care facilities, care takers and other related services. I also understand how to help seniors and their families have the conversation they need to have but sometimes get bogged down with.
As a real estate professional, I can tell you that there is a lot more to listing and selling a home than just the paper process. It takes time, it takes consideration of people’s special needs and it requires a strong team of experts both within and outside of real estate.
I have gathered a Network of Exceptional Specialists, comprised of top-quality financial advisors, tax consultants, appraisers, handyman, senior move managers and many other professionals.
There are more than 90,000 Realtors in Canada and less than one percent of them carry the prestigious Accredited Senior Agent professional designation. I am proud to be in this elite group and am looking forward to being of service to you or to those whom you may refer me to.
My focus is on the mature and senior market and I promise that my team and I have the patience and the professional tools to provide excellence of service. Contact us today at 905-617-3556.
1. The challenge
Will you move by Choice or Circumstance?
Your next move should be full of joy and anticipation of the next phase of your life. But for some people, their next move will be filled with stress, emotional turmoil, and often depression, or even anger, at being forced to make a move that they don't want to make, or are not ready for.
2. The big question
Should I Move Or Should I Stay?
When should you move? When is the right time to move? The answers will be different for each and every person. Only you know when the right time is. If you are reading this, the chances are you have been thinking about it for a while and might be closer to that right time. To help you make the right decision, I have prepared a self-assessment. Please take your time answering this personal and confidential self-assessment questionnaire. If most of the answers are no and sometimes, then perhaps it’s time that we have a chat about your next step.
3. The Solution
Work with an Accredited Senior Agent (Pivotal-ASA™)
Accredited Senior Agent (ASA) is an extensive training designation recognized by the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA) focusing on the real estate needs of the mature and senior Canadian population, i.e. above the age of 50. It has all Canadian content, for the Canadian home owner with information on resources available in Canada.
With the population of Canada aging, the old ways of selling will not provide the diligence and service that will be needed in coming years. I have been trained to deliver excellence of service to those in the mature and senior markets, and their families, who will need special consideration. My business mantra is Making Seniors Matter Again.
4. The meeting
The 8 Most Important Questions I Will Ask You
When it comes to assisting senior clients with their move, there are a number of important questions that must be asked. In order to help you know the sort of things we will talk about when we get together, I offer these questions as a starting point.
5. The interview
The Top 7 Questions to Ask Any Realtor
Your home is typically the biggest investment you have. It's also the source of memories, the holder of cherished possessions, and so much more. It's not bricks and mortar; it's a living, breathing part of you. And now it's time to move on to the next phase of your life. To guide you through this process, you must make sure you are hiring the best agent for your needs. Use these questions; they'll help you make the right choice. In real estate, as in life, not all things are created equal.
6. The Plan
Selling is Different for seniors
When people reach their 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, they have often accumulated a lot of ‘stuff’. ‘Stuff’ is, of course much more than just ‘stuff’; it is the things that life’s memories are made of. Cherished possessions, whether your child’s first shoes, or that special piece of furniture that has passed down through your family – they are all full of memories and emotion. The question is, ‘What to do with it all?’
- Tastes change, and many younger people want to live with less
possessions. It is not uncommon that they do not want anything
more than just one or two small mementos to preserve their
memories. - You have to decide which things you want to take to your next
home, and then what will you do with the rest?
This is an area where I, as an ASA, have great knowledge and resources.
7. The Results
Buying is different for seniors
The senior person making a move has many more choices available to them, whether they are moving into a ‘typical’ single-family home or to a type of housing that is geared towards their particular age-related needs. The Accredited Senior Agent (ASA) is conversant in the many options you have, whether in your current community, or elsewhere. Some of those options might include:
Taking advantage of government programs to stay where you are – if that is what you really want to do.
Helping you determine what type of future home makes the most sense for you, based on both present and future concerns.
Testimonials
Liz took time to understand our unique situation and, utilizing her obvious knowledge and experience, worked with us to set objectives and implement an appropriate plan.
We were pleased with the way Liz took charge of every aspect of the process and was there every step of the way. Her commitment to the goal and the plan, and her capable, focused efforts kept things moving forward and led to a very gratifying outcome.
During the relatively short period of intense activity Liz always projected an air of confidence and control, which allowed us to believe our aggressive objectives could be met. And they were... thanks to Liz.
