I'm Laurie MacFarlane, a licensed Broker and Lifestyle 55+ Certified real estate professional at KW Home Group in Guelph, Ontario. Downsizing is one of the most significant moves a person makes — and one of the most emotional. It's what I do — and it's all I do.
I work with two distinct groups of clients: homeowners who are ready to simplify, downsize, and move into the next chapter of their lives, and adult children who are helping an aging parent navigate the emotional and logistical complexity of selling the family home. For both, I bring the same thing: patience, expertise, and a calm, structured process that removes the guesswork.
My Lifestyle 55+ certification reflects specialized training in the unique needs of older adults in transition — from timing and pricing to understanding the full range of housing options available, including townhomes, condos, and adult lifestyle communities. Combined with my deep knowledge of the local market across Guelph and Wellington County — including Fergus, Elora, Cambridge, Waterloo, and Kitchener — I'm equipped to guide clients through every stage of the process, from the first conversation to the day they hand over the keys.
What I Offer:
- Seller representation and listing services for 55+ homeowners
- Buyer representation for clients downsizing into townhomes, condos, and adult lifestyle communities
- Home valuations and pricing strategy tailored specifically to the downsizing seller — so you know exactly what your home is worth and how to position it
- Concierge-style transition support — including help thinking through timing, decluttering, staging, and the dozens of decisions that come up before and after the sale
Beyond real estate, I'm active in my community — involved in Toastmasters and volunteering to facilitate a Healthy Relationships course. I mention this because I think it says something about how I work: I'm a communicator, I'm a listener, and I care about the people in front of me.
I believe that a home sale is never just a transaction. It's a chapter closing and a new one beginning. My job is to make sure that transition happens on your terms, with the right support every step of the way.
