Listen Later

In today's episode, Olivia speaks with Samantha Brown, a seasoned realtor that loves working with the underrepresented and first-time homebuyers. Samantha hand-holds buyers through the entire process to ensure that critical aspects are not left out. She talks about some of the questions to ask yourself before prompting your aging parents to downsize, what to look for in the house you are about to buy, and why you might find it difficult to convince your aging parents to let go of their homes.

In a nutshell, we discuss:

  • Taking the proactive rather than reactive approach towards downsizing.
  • Being in charge of your parents' decluttering and organizing process.
  • Some of the things you can do to make the house safer for your aging loved one.
  • Some tips to make sure that you get the most of the best offer for your parents' house.
  • Whether it is harder or easier for older people to get loans.
  • Things to put into consideration when looking for a new home.

… and so much more!
