SeniorSF.com, a new service for relocating senior citizens, simplifies the
confusing process of comparing living options for senior adults.
"There are so many different options for today’s mature adults that it is
mind-boggling," noted Steve Peletz, manager of SeniorSF.com
(www.seniorsf.com) and CEO
of Peletz & Company Real Estate (www.peletzco.com)
in San Francisco.
"Having worked with many seniors preparing for the next phase of life, we
designed SeniorSF.com to help mature adults review the various living
alternatives available in the marketplace. We help seniors review lifestyle,
geographic, and financial considerations. The many financial arrangements alone
can confuse the most business savvy amongst us, but with a little help, senior
citizens and their families can find the living situations most suited to their
needs and preferences," Peletz added.
"We have helped clients move to local communities such as San Francisco Towers,
Rossmoor in the East Bay, and to local condominium properties such as Parc
Telegraph, Telegraph Landing, and 101 Lombard in San Francisco. We have also
assisted clients moving to more distant communities such as Del Webb’s Sun City
Lincoln Hills in California or Del Webb communities in Henderson, Nevada," the
46 year old Peletz noted.
Shirley Kohlwes recently sold a condominium in San Francisco and bought a home
in Sun City Lincoln Hills, California.
"Steve Peletz helped me evaluate my financial and lifestyle objectives and laid
out a set of options for me to consider — with the tax and cash flow
implications of each," noted Shirley Kohlwes. "With Steve’s help I sold my
rental condominium at Telegraph Landing in San Francisco and purchased a new
home (under construction presently) in Del Webb’s Sun City Lincoln Hills. The
single family residence is right on the golf course — and will be beautiful,"
Shirley added.
"With an MBA from Berkeley and over 20 years of industry experience, Steve was
ideally suited to help me evaluate my after tax position in selling my unit and
buying a home in Lincoln Hills where purchase prices are more affordable. Along
the way, Steve worked with me and my tax advisor to evaluate the tax
implications of doing a 1031 tax deferred exchange or paying the capital gains
tax and waiting for the market to adjust," Shirley Kohlwes noted.
Steve Peletz, President & CEO of Peletz & Company Real Estate in San Francisco,
recently launched the service to respond to the increasing number of clients
that did not know where to find information on housing alternatives for mature
adults.
Sitting in his office on Lombard Street in San Francisco’s North Waterfront,
Peletz noted that many baby boomers are now reaching retirement age and choosing
to either downsize to condominiums or to move out of San Francisco to more
affordable nearby locations.
"Many of our clients have chosen to downsize — moving out of their large single
family homes — or to cash out of San Francisco’s highly valued market
altogether," Peletz noted.
"We have helped senior clients sell large single family homes and move downtown
to live in condominiums or urban adult communities like San Francisco Towers,"
Peletz added. Whether they are moving to condominiums downtown or to adult
communities in San Francisco or elsewhere, there are quite a few boomers and
senior citizens looking to "right-size" as the children have moved out and the
fondness for maintaining 50 to 100 year old single family residences has waned,
according to Peletz.
"We sell multi-million dollar homes, condominiums, and lofts across San
Francisco, including $500,000 condominiums of 586 square feet or smaller in San
Francisco’s North Waterfront. Often San Franciscans are selling homes for $700
to $1500 per square foot and can buy in other parts of California for $225 per
square foot. For $400,000 in Del Webb’s Sun City Lincoln Hills, adults over age
55 can buy a brand new home of over 1750 square feet," Peletz added.
