Your New Beginning

More Than Real Estate

A move later in life is rarely just about real estate. It deserves comprehensive planning, patience and experienced guidance.

Compass Plus is a specialized division of Compass focused on helping older adults and their families with these decisions.

As a Compass Plus advisor and Certified Senior Advisor® (CSA®), Marie Gordon and the Marie Gordon Team provide specialized real estate guidance as they help you see the larger picture.

Whether you are thinking about staying in your current home, simplifying, moving closer to family, relocating, or exploring senior living, we can help you sort through the options and put together a plan that reflects your needs and priorities.

It May - or May Not - Mean a Move.

You don't need to be ready to sell your home to start planning. You can begin by considering a few basic questions:

  • Is my current home still the right home for me?
  • What could make it easier or safer to remain here?
  • Would another kind of home better fit the way I live today?
  • Would I like to be closer to family?
  • Is senior living something I should explore?
  • What would I do with everything I've accumulated over the years?
  • If I eventually decide to sell, what should I do to prepare my home?
  • Who can help me and my family coordinate all of this?

You don't need to have all the answers to start the conversation.

Why Compass Plus?

SPECIALIZED EXPERTISE

Later-life real estate decisions usually involve more than the house itself. Family, finances, timing, logistics, and the emotions that come with big changes will all be part of the conversation.

Compass Plus advisors understand those complexities. We can help you make sense of the real estate piece and also help you identify additional resources needed to make sure the process is handled with competence, care and respect.

The Marie Gordon Team can help you put a plan together, manage the real estate details, keep family members informed, and connect you with other professionals when their expertise is needed.

NATIONWIDE NETWORK

Sometimes the next chapter takes you beyond the Main Line.

Through Compass Plus and the broader Compass network, the Marie Gordon Team can help connect you with real estate professionals in markets across the country - particularly valuable when moving closer to family or when adult children and parents live in different states.

A Certified Senior Advisor® by Your Side

Compass Plus advisors are required to earn the Certified Senior Advisor® (CSA®) credential. This education provides an understanding of the issues people face when making senior life transitions. The on-going training complements our real estate expertise and prepares us to listen first, understand the bigger picture, and help our clients coordinate the many pieces of a life-changing transition.

Your Transition. Your Team.

No one person can - or should - handle every part of a transition.

Depending on your situation, you may need professionals and resources in addition to a real estate agent. We are happy to work with the people you already know and trust, but we can also help you find additional resources when needed.

The Marie Gordon Team can help connect you with resources such as:

  • Elder Law & Estate Planning
  • Financial Planning
  • Senior Living Resources
  • Aging-in-Place Resources
  • Move Management
  • Organizing & Decluttering
  • Estate Sales & Personal Property
  • Home Repairs & Modifications
  • Moving Services

It's Never Too Early to Plan.

Some of the best decisions are made before you have to make them.

Planning ahead doesn't mean you've decided to move. It simply gives you time to understand your choices, talk with your family, and put the right people and information in place. Most importantly, it helps keep you at the center of the decisions.
