Who we are

Your Trusted Guide Home

When life's journey calls for a new chapter, the process deserves more than a transaction, it deserves guidance. I'm Vonnie Potter, a certified Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES) dedicated to transforming what can feel overwhelming into an empowering experience.

My approach goes beyond simply buying or selling homes. As your real estate coach, I provide comprehensive support for all aspects of senior transitions: from downsizing, staging, financial considerations, and even aging-in-place modifications. After years in healthcare and now real estate, I've learned each transition tells a story—one often shared between generations.

Whether you're a senior exploring your next move or a family member helping guide these important decisions, I offer the expertise, patience, and compassion to ensure the journey honors your needs and values. I have personally and professionally experienced this journey myself.

My specialty lies in connecting generations through housing solutions. I help clients address practical concerns about home modifications, senior communities, and resource coordination, while never losing sight of the emotional significance these decisions carry.

Every home represents both memories of the past and possibilities for the future. It's my privilege to serve as your bridge between these chapters, providing the knowledge and support to make informed choices with confidence. I welcome the opportunity to be your guide on this important journey.
