we are here to help seniors through the entire moving process
Why Seniors move
1. To be Closer to Friends and Family
According to a recent study conducted by the National Association of Home Builders and the MetLife Mature Market Institute, 40% of seniors who move do it to be closer to friends and family members. This may mean being around for a grandchild or adult children, or simply being able to spend more time with friends during retirement.
2. To Enjoy Increased Quality of Life
Some seniors move because they want to enjoy a warmer climate or easier access to the things they love. This is exactly why Florida is such a popular retirement destination.
In many cases, seniors who have spent their lives in cold, snowy, environments want to retire someplace that offers predictable weather and access to recreational opportunities. Other seniors want to be closer to retirement centers or aging and disability resource centers, which their current town does not have.
3. To Downsize Homes
In many cases, seniors move (either across town or across the country) to downsize homes. Once the kids move out, there’s no need to live in or clean a big family home anymore. As such, many seniors are downsizing into smaller homes that are both less expensive and easier to manage.
Sometimes, the same seniors who want to downsize are seeking senior-living communities. These communities allow them to stay active and enjoy fewer domestic responsibilities all at once.

4. To Access Senior-Sector Employment
Seniors who choose to continue working may move to find senior-sector employment opportunities. Today, many seniors work well into and beyond their 70s. While the economy is responsible for part of this trend, other Baby Boomers simply aren’t ready to retire, and they move to find the dream job of their golden years.
