I am Kenton Ryan, a Calgary REALTOR® with RE/MAX First, a certified Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES®), and a licensed mortgage broker. My focus is narrow on purpose: seniors, downsizing, and senior relocation. Selling the home someone has lived in for forty years is not the same job as flipping a starter condo, and it should not be handled like one.

Most people find me at the exact moment they need this, searching for a realtor who understands the move they are actually making. So here is what that looks like.

I provide full seniors relocation services across Calgary, in the SW, SE, NW and NE, so wherever the home is you have a realtor for seniors who does this work every day, not a general agent taking it on for the first time. If you have been searching for a seniors realtor near you, this is exactly what I do.

Why Work With a Seniors Real Estate Specialist

A later-life move carries weight a normal sale does not: decades of belongings, family emotions, timing around health, and often a power of attorney or adult children coordinating from out of town. An SRES® is trained for exactly this. The value is not a faster sale, it is a calmer, better-coordinated one, where nobody feels rushed and no piece falls through the cracks.

The mortgage-broker side matters too. When the money question comes up, whether it is a bridge loan to buy before you sell, or whether a reverse mortgage makes sense, you get a straight answer from the same person, not a referral to figure out alone.

Seniors Relocation Services in Calgary

  • Sell the family home for its full value, prepared and priced with the same data-driven approach I use for every listing.
  • Downsize with a plan, deciding whether and when to move, then coordinating the movers, the estate sale, and the paperwork so it is not all on you.
  • Find the right next home: a villa, a bungalow, a 55+ condo, or a lower-maintenance place that fits this stage of life. Browse 55+ homes and adult living listings on my main site.
  • Work with family and power of attorney, including remote adult children and situations involving dementia or an estate, with clear communication so everyone stays informed.

The Way I Work

Patient, and on your timeline. Many of the people I help are not sure they are ready to move at all, and that is a fine place to start. There is no pressure to list, only a clear picture of your options and what your home is worth, so you can decide with good information. When you are ready, the whole move is coordinated from one place.
