Another warm welcome to the Seniors Real Estate Blog Page

Seniors Real Estate

A warm welcome to the Seniors Real Estate blog page. It’s with much pleasure that I introduce myself. I’m Peter the Licensee and a mature age member of the Gold Coast community.

I retired having fulfilled a career in both the British Army Air Corps and Australian Army Aviation, however, after 6 months I felt lost and had no direction. That’s when I decided to take control of my life and relinquish my Peter Pan lifestyle and face up to the prospect of gentle ageing. I’m now a man on a mission to build a community of mature-aged clients and Veterans that can travel the downsizing journey stress-free and with confidence in a satisfactory outcome making the most of life.

Our aim is to help clients 50+ to live life on their terms and arrive at a suitable and affordable retirement accommodation – whatever that might be. It’s never too late to change direction and follow your path and I’m here to help you start living the life you really want in the surroundings that most suit you. 

Quote of the week:  “I feel alive, fit and active. I have no plans for retirement. My only concession to getting a little older is that I like to have a cat nap in the afternoon. After that, I can push on through anything.”  Olivia Newton-John RIP
