Frequently Asked Questions
The SRES® designation is from the National Association of REALTORS® for agents who have completed specialized training to serve clients aged 50 and over. This includes understanding downsizing, estate planning, accessibility needs, senior living options, and the emotional aspects of major life transitions. It means your agent has the knowledge and empathy to guide you through one of life's biggest decisions.
The best time to start is before you need to. Many Calgary seniors begin planning 1–2 years before they want to move. This gives you time to declutter thoughtfully, research 55+ communities, understand the market, and make decisions without pressure. There's no deadline — we work at your pace.
55+ buildings are age-restricted condo communities where at least one resident must be 55 or older. Calgary has over 50 such buildings across all quadrants, from affordable options through Silvera for Seniors (non-profit, 20+ locations) to upscale communities like Westman Village, Sanderson Ridge, and Calvanna Village. We have a complete directory on this site.
55+ condos in Calgary range from approximately $200,000 to $600,000+. Factor in selling costs for your current home (typically 4–6% of the sale price), moving expenses ($2,000–$8,000 for senior moving services), and potential staging costs. The good news: many seniors end up with significant equity after downsizing, which can fund retirement or be passed on to family.
Absolutely. Many of my clients are adult children helping a parent through the process. I'm skilled at navigating family dynamics — making sure everyone feels heard while keeping the senior's wishes at the centre. Whether your parent needs full support or just a steady hand, I'm here to help the whole family.
Yes. I serve all of Calgary — NW, NE, SW, and SE — plus surrounding areas including Airdrie, Chestermere, Okotoks, Cochrane, and Rocky View County. I have deep knowledge of 55+ buildings and seniors-friendly communities across the entire city.
