Liz’s Story

Background and Experience

After many years as a corporate event marketing consultant, Houghton transitioned into real estate in 2005. What began as an interest in homes and real estate investing soon grew into a calling as she discovered how much she enjoyed helping older adults navigate important housing decisions later in life

To better serve this market, Houghton earned the SRES (Senior Real Estate Specialist) designation, continued her education with the Seniors Real Estate Institute, obtained the CSHP (Certified Senior Housing Professional) designation, and trained in related areas such as senior financing, housing options, and home safety.

How Houghton Help Seniors

Over time, Houghton realized she could make a meaningful difference for seniors who felt overwhelmed by downsizing, moving, and sorting through a house full of memories. As someone in a similar stage of life, she brings both professional expertise and personal understanding to this process. She knows that it is a lot of work, and most of us delay making the decision until we need physical help, and we may not want to bother the kids with it.

There has to be some benefits of being older!

Houghton also made it a priority to learn about senior living communities so she could help clients not only find a smaller or single-level home, but also identify the right senior community for their needs, preferences, and lifestyle. By offering both services, she can simplify the process and reduce the need for clients to work with multiple providers - perhaps with conflicting interests.

Today, her services are designed to support clients through every stage of their journey, including:

·         Finding a home that fits their next chapter of life

·         Identifying the right assisted living or senior community

·         Coordinating downsizing, relocation, and the logistics of a move

·         Guiding home-sale decisions based on the client’s goals and timeframe

The Move Manager Advantage

To support this business model, Houghton built a trusted team of packers, movers, handymen, contractors, and other professionals who help clients with everything from sorting belongings to preparing and selling a home. This is the value of adding a dedicated Move Manager to your team.

Instead of hiring multiple vendors and trying to coordinate a wide range of services on your own, you have one trusted point of contact. We handle the scheduling, manage the team, and keep everything moving smoothly—while keeping you informed every step of the way.

You Remain the Final Decision-maker throughout the Process.

We also assist with important housing and home-sale decisions, whether that means preparing a home for top market value, selling quickly as-is, or exploring alternatives such as keeping the property as a rental to help fund future living expenses. Every plan is tailored to the client’s individual needs and goals.

Best of all, our Move Manager and project coordination services are provided at no additional cost when we represent you in the purchase or sale of a property.
