REAL ESTATE CONNECTIONS WITH MARY FOERSTER

Real Estate Decisions Change as Life Changes.

Helping older adults, caregivers, and the sandwich generation navigate aging in place, downsizing, senior moves, multigenerational living, and the real estate decisions that come with life's next chapter.

Hosted by Mary Foerster, Real Estate Connections brings together the right people, resources, and conversations so you can understand your options before a difficult decision becomes urgent.

Real estate is about more than property. It's about people, timing, family, and what comes next.

Maybe your parents are doing well—but you're beginning to wonder whether their home will continue to work for them.

Maybe you're suddenly coordinating appointments, managing your own family, and trying to figure out whether Mom should stay in her house, move closer to you, or consider something entirely different.

Or maybe you're thinking about your own next chapter.

Should you stay?

Should you move?

Would downsizing—or right-sizing—give you more freedom?

Could an accessory dwelling unit, multigenerational home, senior community, or other housing option make more sense?

And who should you talk to before making any of those decisions?

That's what we explore on Real Estate Connections.

Because when aging and real estate intersect, there is rarely one simple answer—and the Realtor is rarely the only professional you need.

— EXPLORING LATER-LIFE HOUSING

A Podcast for the Decisions Families Don't Always Know How to Make

Real Estate Connections explores the housing and real estate questions that arise as we—and the people we love—get older.

Mary talks with professionals working across real estate, senior living, caregiving, finance, estate planning, home design, moving and relocation, aging in place, and other areas that can become part of a family's next decision.

You'll hear conversations about:

  • Aging in place versus moving

  • Helping aging parents downsize or right-size

  • Moving elderly parents closer to family

  • Senior housing and senior living options

  • Preparing a longtime family home for sale

  • Home modifications for aging adults

  • Multigenerational housing and accessory dwelling units

  • Buying a home for an aging parent

  • Mortgages and financing later in life

  • Caregiving and housing decisions

  • Empty nest and retirement moves

  • Estate and inherited property decisions

  • Navigating family dynamics around a parent's home

  • Building the right professional team before you need it

These are real estate conversations.

But they're also family conversations.

And sometimes they're conversations we put off until life makes them unavoidable.

Mary would rather help you have them sooner.
