“As a Sales Director, I am always seeking resources that can help make my clients' lives easier. I was excited when Judy and Amy offered to present strategies for making the transition to a retirement community smoother. They provided valuable tips on downsizing, preparing a home for sale, and key considerations to make while formulating next steps. The feedback from my future residents who attended the event was overwhelmingly positive. Overall, it was an incredibly helpful and informative session. Thank you, Judy and Amy!”
