What Is Digital Estate?
Digital estate planning involves managing online assets like social media accounts, digital photos, online banking, and even virtual real estate tours. These assets, if left unaddressed, could pose challenges for your loved ones in accessing or managing them in your absence.
Why Is It Important?
In the context of real estate, digital assets can include everything from online property listings to digital mortgage documents. Without a proper digital estate plan, these assets could become inaccessible, leading to potential losses or legal complications. It's about ensuring continuity and ease of access for those you entrust with managing your legacy.
Key Steps In Digital Estate Planning
List Your Digital Assets:
This includes all online accounts, digital property documents, and any other digital platforms related to your real estate investments.
Regular Updates :
Just as the real estate market evolves, so do digital platforms. Keep your digital estate plan updated with any changes in your digital assets.
Ensure Accessibility:
Securely store and share login information and instructions for managing these accounts with someone you trust.

This expert consultation is crucial for securing your digital assets effectively and ensuring they are managed according to your wishes.
Is Downsizing In Your Future?It Was In Mine!
I specialize in assisting homeowners who want to downsize to a smaller home or to purchase a home on one level.
Downsizing is a process filled with emotion and many moving parts to consider, and many homeowners are confused about where to start. They may also delay downsizing as a result of this, and then life takes an unexpected turn. I have expertise and a team of experienced professionals to guide you through each step of downsizing.
Downsizing can be an emotional process. It’s hard to leave your long-term home, maybe the home you raised your children in. I get it! I’ve been there! My husband and I have downsized due to health issues, and I’ve downsized my elderly parents twice and now take care of them. I understand it’s a difficult decision, and I’m here to guide you through the process.
Here’s an example of a client who recently downsized from their home:
Bob and Sue’s health was becoming a concern and their current home wasn’t appropriate to their needs. We met to discuss their situation and create a plan for their success. Their home value would improve significantly with a few simple repairs, new paint, and new flooring. My contractors were able to meet their needs quickly and in respect of their unique needs. Our stager created a Wow factor in the home, and we sold the property within 24 hours. They were matched with an estate sale specialist that fit their needs, and they are now living exactly where they hoped to be.
