Selling Your Guelph Home After 55

Selling Your Guelph Home After 55 — Done Right, Done With Care

You've spent decades building a life in your home. Selling it is one of the biggest decisions you'll make — and it deserves more than a lockbox and a listing.

I'm Laurie MacFarlane, a Guelph REALTOR® and Broker at KW Home Group, and I hold the Lifestyle 55+ certification — one of the few realtors in Guelph specifically trained to work with sellers in the 55+ market. Whether you're downsizing to a townhome, transitioning to a retirement community, or simply ready for a change, I understand the emotional, financial, and logistical complexity of this move.

What Makes Selling at This Stage Different

This isn't just a transaction. For most of my clients, it's a transition — and those are two very different things.

Selling after 55 often involves timing the sale around a purchase in a 55+ community or retirement residence, navigating family dynamics when adult children have opinions about the family home, understanding how sale proceeds affect retirement income planning, deciding what to do with a lifetime of belongings before you list, and moving on a timeline that works for you — not the market.

I've helped Guelph-area homeowners navigate all of it. My job isn't just to sell your house — it's to make sure the entire transition feels manageable.

What You Can Expect Working With Me

A no-pressure consultation in your home — we talk first, list later. Honest pricing based on real Guelph market data. A marketing plan built around your property and your timeline. Connections to trusted local professionals — movers, estate sale specialists, lawyers, and financial advisors who understand this market. Clear communication at every step — no jargon, no runaround.

Serving Guelph and Wellington County

I work across Guelph and the surrounding communities including Fergus, Elora, Cambridge, Waterloo, and Kitchener. If you're thinking about selling — even if it's a year or two away — I'd love to have a conversation.
