Senior Moving Guide

The hills of Palos Verdes are what allow the peninsula to be known for its views. They promote an active lifestyle with hiking trails, equestrian trails, and roads perfect for cycling. Palos Verdes is also known for offering larger lots than any other city in the South Bay. With big lots come bigger homes. Combine big homes with an amazing school district, it is no surprise the inflow of PV residents has been large families. With such a tight knit community, incredible climate, stunning views, and ultimate privacy; the residents on the peninsula stay in their homes as long as they can.
 
It might be that time for you or someone in your family to downsize or move to an area more suitable for your needs. That may be an active 55+ community, assisted living, your children’s home, or simply a smaller home.
 
I work closely with both seniors and successor trustees in the sale of a family home. I have relationships with the top vendors for assisted living options, estate sales, donating items, and moving items out of the home. If a home needs repairs or staging before hitting the market, I can help schedule and manage the appropriate vendors. Even if a successor trustee is out of town, I am able to handle things for a stress free and seamless experience.
 
If you are thinking of downsizing or if you need help in selling a parents home, give me a call and I will help you navigate through the next chapter of your life.

What Downsizing Looks Like in Palos Verdes

 

Many longtime Peninsula residents choose to downsize into single-level homessmaller view properties, or lock-and-leave coastal condos — allowing them to enjoy the same ocean breezes, beautiful trails, and sense of community without the maintenance of a large estate.

Suzanne can help you:

Identify homes ideal for aging in place or single-level living

Evaluate tax implications, capital gains, and potential 1031 options

Find properties close to family, medical care, or the beach — whatever suits your next lifestyle
