Some of my retired buyers want to walk to dinner at Rockville Town Square. Others want a tee time at Manor or a quiet morning loop around Lake Needwood. James Buckley at Canopy Property Group helps retirees find that fit, with 19+ years of experience, relationships with estate attorneys, financial advisors, and senior move managers, and a patient process with no pressure.
Usually one of three things. DC-area professionals who want to stay somewhere familiar but smaller. Out-of-state retirees moving closer to kids and grandkids in the DC metro. And active adults who want trails, clubs, and community in a home that's easier to keep up. I learn which one you are before I build a search.
More than a typical buyer has. Capital gains on a long-held home. 1031 exchanges if you're selling an investment property to fund the purchase. Qualifying for a mortgage on retirement account and Social Security income instead of a W-2. How the new home should be titled for your estate plan. I work with your financial advisor and estate attorney so the purchase fits the bigger picture.
A retired couple had been in their Maryland home about 30 years. Their daughter suggested downsizing, and they weren't sure. We talked with no listing pressure. When they were ready, I found a 55+ new construction community that fit, sold their home above asking, and helped them with selections on the new build. They said: "I have been a homeowner for the last 45 plus years...none like James. He is truly the BEST."
