As real estate professionals, we are often the boots on the ground in our communities. Through this role, I’ve encountered many situations where seniors are living alone, sometimes unattended, without close family or a support system to rely on. These experiences resonate deeply with me, and they’ve reminded me how essential it is to approach our work with care, compassion, and holistic support.

In my prior roles as a senior advocate and community liaison in the South Bay Area, I witnessed firsthand how older adults can face isolation and immense challenges during times of transition. Whether it’s downsizing, relocating to a senior community, or managing a property after losing a spouse, the process can be overwhelming for both seniors and their families.

A Unique Approach to Real Estate for Seniors

At MacFarlane Homes, I take a unique and holistic approach to real estate that goes far beyond the typical services provided by an agent. My background as a healthcare practitioner and senior advocate has equipped me to assist older adults and their families during life’s most significant transitions. This means understanding not just the property, but also the people behind the home.

As a member of the Professional Fiduciary Association of California (PFAC) Silicon Valley Chapter Affiliate, I continually build relationships with elder law attorneys, trust professionals, financial planners, and home healthcare providers. This network ensures that my clients have access to the full spectrum of resources they may need—whether it’s legal guidance, financial planning, or caregiving services.

Providing Personalized, Concierge-Level Service

For families who are managing a real estate transaction remotely—perhaps because they’ve moved out of state or are busy with their own responsibilities—I offer comprehensive concierge services to alleviate stress.

• I coordinate vendors and oversee home preparations to ensure the property achieves top dollar.

• I utilize video conferencing to keep families informed every step of the way.

• I prioritize personalized care and ensure that my clients feel supported, not just as transactions but as people.

This level of service allows families to focus on what matters most: their loved ones and their well-being.

Why Compassion and Expertise Matter

Many of us have aging parents or grandparents, and we know how vital it is to have trusted, knowledgeable professionals on our side during these transitions. My work is about more than just buying or selling homes; it’s about being an advocate, a guide, and a compassionate partner.

If you’re searching for a fiduciary realtor who understands both the emotional and practical challenges seniors face, I am here to help. Together, we can navigate the process, ensuring every detail is taken care of with the respect and attention your family deserves.
