What’s Next #1: Stay or Go? It’s a hard question.
How Does Your Home Actually Fit Into Your Estate Plan?
For many families, the home is the single largest asset in the estate, yet it’s often overlooked in estate planning conversations. Decisions about timing, taxes, maintenance, heirs, and future transitions can all be affected by what happens with the property. In this episode of What’s Next?, we explore why your home deserves a place in the discussion and how planning ahead can help protect both your family and your options.
What’s Next #2: Future-proofing
Can Your Home Support the Life You Want in the Years Ahead?
Future-proofing your home means making thoughtful decisions today that can help you stay comfortable, safe, and in control tomorrow. Sometimes that means simple updates like better lighting, fewer trip hazards, or easier access. Other times, it means taking a bigger look at whether your current home can truly support your long-term goals. In this episode of What’s Next?, we explore how planning ahead can create more options, reduce stress, and help your home grow with you through every stage of life.
What's Next: Episode 3 - Right-sizing
Is Your Home Still the Right Fit for the Life You Want Next?
Rightsizing isn’t just about moving to a smaller home. It’s about finding the right fit for your current lifestyle, priorities, and future plans. For some people, that means less maintenance and more freedom. For others, it means better layout, easier access, or being closer to family and community. In this episode of What’s Next?, we explore how to evaluate whether your current home still supports the life you want—and how thoughtful planning can open the door to better options ahead.

Kelly Azzarello was the most wonderful Realtor when my 2nd parent died, and we needed to put the house, in Bellevue WA on the market. From explaining the selling process to us (my sister and I) including Legal matters, to referring people who could do jobs for us - at a Fee - when we requested this, the house was eventually emptied, cleaned, had minor repairs and was staged. All of this was done to a high standard.
