In this video, senior real‑estate specialist Jay Quigley explains the distinct challenges seniors encounter when buying or selling a home. For purchases, he stresses the importance of anticipating future physical limitations—such as reduced ability to climb stairs—and ensuring the home’s design will remain accessible as the buyer ages. He also highlights locational factors that matter to seniors: proximity to family members, doctors, and communities that offer social activities and support. For sales, Quigley focuses on the emotional and logistical difficulty of downsizing after many years in a home, where personal belongings are tied to cherished memories. He describes how a senior‑focused realtor can guide clients through the process, helping them sort, declutter, and transition to a smaller, more suitable living situation.
