After years of life in your home as a family, couple or a single person, it can be hard to let go, detach, and prepare for downsizing to a smaller abode.  Most importantly, to do so at the best price possible with little to no stress.

Barbara understands this and has successfully sold many properties of seniors/retirees. She carries out her work quietly and calmly, leaving you free from worries, headaches and frustrations associated with selling your home. She liaises well with the children and other family members who may be involved in the decision making around the sale of your home.

Barbara is the first Royal LePage representative in Quebec to obtain her Seniors Real Estate Certification (SRES) designation (see press release below). The SRES program covers a wide range of subjects:

• understanding the needs and wants of the 50+ group
• understanding the financial, tax and other options and challenges of the 50+ age group
• how to help clients develop the best housing strategy
• taking into account both needs and opportunities
• how to provide the best level of service
