I tell people moving here that they’d better be retired. That’s the only way they’re going to have time to take advantage of all the activities they have to choose from.
The Woodstock, Tillsonburg, Ingersoll, and entire Oxford County area has become a destination for retirement and pre-retirement living, with an endless array of activities for retirees (and those poor folks still working.)
But when choosing a home in this area, the excitement of an active, jam-packed retirement might crowd out other important considerations. As much as we don’t want to think about it, retirement comes along with aging.
By taking aging knees and backs and other factors into account now, you’ll enjoy your new home much longer.
Fortunately, you can stay focused on the good stuff. As an accredited Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES®), I can take a load off your shoulders and help find a house to suit you now – and for many, many years into your retired life in Oxford County.
The SRES® is an official designation of the National Association of REALTORS®. Seniors Real Estate Specialists® are REALTORS® qualified to address the needs of home buyers aged 50-plus. By earning the SRES® designation, I’ve demonstrated the necessary knowledge and expertise to counsel clients through major financial and lifestyle transitions in relocating, refinancing, or selling the family home.
While many considerations seem like common sense, earning accreditation as a Seniors Real Estate Specialist® introduced me to hidden factors that make living in retirement more enjoyable – everything from a home’s location to its layout to its landscaping.
Because staying active isn’t just fun – it’s the best way to stay healthy and happy in your retirement.
