In this episode, we're breaking down the ins and outs of real estate disclosures—what they are, why they matter, and what sellers are legally required to share. If you're selling a home, it’s critical to understand what needs to be disclosed (even if it’s been fixed!). And for buyers, we'll explain how to read between the lines of a disclosure form and what red flags to watch for. Whether you're trying to protect yourself from liability or avoid costly surprises, this episode will help you navigate disclosures with confidence.

In this episode, we're joined by a senior relocation specialist, Cathi Coridan, who shares valuable advice for seniors—and their families—who are preparing for a downsize or major move. Whether it's transitioning to a smaller home, moving into assisted living, or simply planning ahead, she walks us through the emotional and logistical steps of making a smooth transition. From sorting and letting go of belongings to coordinating the move itself, this episode is filled with compassionate, practical guidance for a process that can feel overwhelming—but doesn’t have to be.

Cathi has now turned her focus to coaching real estate agents on how to work thoughtfully and effectively with senior clients. What I love about her approach is that she’s not just teaching agents how to “sell,” but how to truly understand and support the unique needs of this market. She’s someone who’s working to elevate our industry and we need more like her! If you're an agent looking for guidance in this space, you can find her at https://yourtransitionpartner.com
