Tron Simpson with you on Legends 810 AM and 95.3 FM. And who else is with you? Celia Zaharis of Colorado Home Realty, because we are all entering now the real estate realm. Celia, how are you?
SPEAKER 01 : 0:12
Doing great, Tron. Thank you.
SPEAKER 02 : 0:13
Well, we’re getting there. We’re getting through spring. We’ve talked about inventory. We’ve talked about buyers and sellers. And specifically, there are different buyers and sellers. There are seniors out there that even right now are thinking about, you know, I’d like to move. I’d like to get out of my two, three, four-story home and maybe go to a single level. I haven’t moved in years. I need some guidance. Well, it turns out, Celia, that you, yes, you are a senior real estate specialist. And what does that mean for the seniors out there?
SPEAKER 01 : 0:47
That means that for that age group, 55 and over, I primarily work with them on whatever their needs are because there are different needs than the younger set that maybe are starting to grow families or their families are growing. So the 55 plus group usually are becoming empty nesters or have been for a little while. And they’re realizing that the lifestyle in the home that they’re in just isn’t working for them any longer and they want to make a change usually to free up some time or free up their minds from from all the things that they have in the house or you know it’s it’s usually about freedom and just making a lifestyle change that’s exactly right and of course 55 then you’re 65 75 even those uh
SPEAKER 02 : 1:38
Those different ages, well, differentiate the needs as well. And so you are aware of all those needs and you’re able to help people, especially when it comes to prepping. If people are going to sell their home, they haven’t done this in years. And so that’s a big thing. You’re going to help them with that.
SPEAKER 01 : 1:51
I am. I help them with that. I help a lot of people with that. And it just, you know, it just varies from people to people. I think my biggest suggestion to people, if they’re willing, is to really have an estate sale. Get rid of the majority of their things. Stop holding on to things and carrying them around because… Because if you’re looking for freedom, that’s part of it. It’s just releasing that stuff that you don’t need any longer, that you don’t use. It’s very…
SPEAKER 02 : 2:23
mind opening and it’s a relief to most people when they’re able to do that absolutely true so if you are a senior and you’re thinking about buying or selling talk to celia zaharis and incidentally i was watching the beverly hillbillies yesterday do you know that do you know celia and everybody that granny was 59 years old when she started playing the part of granny on that show that’s how old i’m going to be this year I’m granny.
