WE HAVE AMAZING RESOURCES HERE IN THE VALLEY OF THE SUN. Adding Aging-in-Place features, or selling a long time home may be part of a transition to an independent or assisted care facility, and families may be unaware of the options that are available in the community. As a specialist, I can provide helpful insight on how others have made similar transitions, information on helpful services and resources, and assurance that a successful transition can be accomplished. Moving to a new location can be a daunting task, especially when downsizing from a long-term home. You may wish to evaluate remodeling to Age-in-Place, or to adapt another family member's home to accommodate a senior. We can introduce you to the most amazing in-home caregivers. We also have information on congregate, assisted and continuing-care facilities throughout the Valley. We may discuss situations in which a tax-deferred 1031 exchange would be possible and advantageous, as well as alert you to tax issues that could impact spouses, partners and heirs. Did you know stepped-up basis rule does not always apply and heirs can be held to the original cost basis of a gift or inheritance? That foreign spouses are treated differently in regards to federal estate tax benefits. And that there are certain situations when it may be advantageous to consider home equity conversion (HECM) mortgages. We can also discuss your awareness of financial schemes and scams that specifically target the elderly. Of course tax laws are ever-changing, and we will always advise you to seek advice from your financial and tax professionals.
We work with clients and their family members with to help make your transition as stress free as possible. Allow us to introduce you to great resources that can help keep you healthy and optimistic about this new phase of life. Contact Denise@DeniseVDB.com

Is now the right time to buy or sell? It may be . . .
The BEST time to Plan your Future is NOW
Supply and Demand. There is a shortage nationwide of homes for sale. Skittish builders took cover after the Recession of 2008 and simply did not re-mobilize at a pace necessary to keep up with the shifting market demands. As a result, homes have appreciated at a rapid pace. Sell? Age-in-Place? Downsize?
