It’s our 50th episode 🎉 and we’re diving into a powerful (but often overlooked) option for today’s buyers—renovation loans. With so many people turning to new construction, it’s easy to forget that older homes full of character can be updated and personalized with the right financing. Renovation loans open the door to buying the house you love and making it what you need.

In this episode, we break down:

• What renovation loans are and how they work
• The pros and cons compared to buying new construction
• Who they’re best suited for
• Tips for navigating the process smoothly

Whether you’re dreaming of restoring a classic or simply updating a fixer-upper, this episode will help you see the possibilities.

In this episode, we're joined by a senior relocation specialist, Cathi Coridan, who shares valuable advice for seniors—and their families—who are preparing for a downsize or major move. Whether it's transitioning to a smaller home, moving into assisted living, or simply planning ahead, she walks us through the emotional and logistical steps of making a smooth transition. From sorting and letting go of belongings to coordinating the move itself, this episode is filled with compassionate, practical guidance for a process that can feel overwhelming—but doesn’t have to be.

Cathi has now turned her focus to coaching real estate agents on how to work thoughtfully and effectively with senior clients. What I love about her approach is that she’s not just teaching agents how to “sell,” but how to truly understand and support the unique needs of this market. She’s someone who’s working to elevate our industry and we need more like her! If you're an agent looking for guidance in this space, you can find her at https://yourtransitionpartner.com
