Your Downsizing Specialists

Our team is here for you, and we truly mean this on so many levels!

We care about the needs of our clients and their families as they transition into a new chapter of their lives downsizing from their current home.

Is your scenario one of these below?   Do any of these sound familiar?

•      Are you making plans for life after retirement?

•      Are you contemplating selling your family home?

•      Are you ready to downsize and move to the city or down south?

•      Do you want to downsize to an easier lifestyle, a smaller home, an apartment or perhaps a house with an in-law suite?

Good news!

As certified Senior Real Estate Specialists (SRES), we can help!  We have 25+ years of experience and success helping older adults comfortably transition to the next chapter of their lives. The timing of downsizing is multi-layered, and we will coordinate this with you every step of the way.

Having helped our own relatives downsize, we have first-hand experience in how to manage this transition for you with the least amount of stress, all while preserving your finances.

As a fellow baby-boomers, we appreciate our clients who are grateful for help with downsizing – whatever that looks like for them.  “We’ve been very successful in coordinating the timing of the move when our clients are selling and moving into their new place.  Strategizing as to what steps to take first – and what makes sense financially – is our strength,” says Pam Butera, co-founder of The Butera Group.

We take the time to genuinely listen and take great care to help you understand the entire process. We are also happy to work alongside your family members who may be participating in the process.

The Butera Group is here to serve you. Let us help you make the right move for a healthy, happy, easy-living lifestyle.

"I had an excellent experience with Pam and the entire Pam Butera Group, Keller Williams Real Estate. I was coordinating the sale of my elderly Mother's house (an emotional experience). Pam was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and great to work with. From start to finish Pam and the team provided excellent and responsive service, from home valuation, photos, advertising, marketing, staging, showings, open houses, and purchase negotiations. The extensive paperwork required was easily managed online using electronic signatures. The closing went smoothly with the help of Pam and her staff. I highly recommend the Pam Butera Group"  Anthony C.
