55 & Over Realty Advisor
Guidance You Can Trust in Life’s Next Chapter
Quick Links
Making a move after 55 is different.
It’s rarely just about square footage or price per foot. It’s about memories. Milestones. Family gatherings. The home where children were raised and holidays were celebrated.
It’s also about simplifying life, staying close to loved ones, and finding a community that supports the next stage with comfort and confidence.
As a dedicated 55 & Over Realty Advisor with over 10 years of experience serving the active adult market, my role is not just to facilitate a transaction; it is to guide, support, and problem-solve every step of the way.
Understanding the Emotional Side of Moving
For many of my clients, the biggest challenge is not the market, it’s the emotional attachment to their family home.
Letting go of a home filled with decades of memories can feel overwhelming. Add in the process of decluttering, preparing the home for sale, and coordinating timelines, and it can quickly become stressful.
That’s where I step in.
With patience and understanding, I help clients:
- Navigate the emotional side of downsizing
- Create a clear, manageable plan
- Break large tasks into smaller steps
- Stay focused on their long-term goals
This is not a rushed process. It’s a thoughtful transition and I treat it that way. It is not unusual for this process to stretch up to a year or more, I am honored to walk through it with you, for as long as it takes.
Support for Decluttering & Preparing Your Home
One of the most common concerns I hear is:
“Where do we even start?”
I provide guidance and trusted referrals to help you prepare your home with confidence, including:
- Professional organizers
- Estate sale companies
- Senior-focused moving specialists
- Donation coordination services
- Contractors for small updates or repairs
- Staging recommendations
You do not have to coordinate these details alone. I act as a central resource to simplify the process and reduce overwhelm.
Finding the Right Community: Close to What Matters Most
For many 55+ buyers, location is about more than commute times.
It’s about:
- Being close to children and grandchildren
- Easy access to healthcare
- Proximity to services such as hair & nail salons, a familiar grocery store, social groups, or long-time friends
- A community that feels welcoming and connected
Whether you’re searching for an active adult neighborhood, a ranch-style home with fewer stairs, or simply a property that makes daily life easier, I help you evaluate options thoughtfully.
We look beyond the marketing brochures and focus on:
- Lifestyle fit: from amenities to social connections
- HOA structure and long-term considerations: single family vs ranch condo
- Accessibility features: grad bars, wide doorways & halls, stepless entry
- Resale value
- Future flexibility: aging in place or transitioning to assisted living
The goal is not just to find a house but to find a home that supports this stage of life comfortably.

A Resource for Families, Too
Often, adult children are involved in the decision-making process. That may be front and center or, more often, quietly from the background.
If you are a family member helping your parents navigate a move, I understand the balance required, respecting independence while providing support.
I serve as a neutral, patient guide who:
- Communicates clearly with all parties
- Helps manage timelines
- Provides objective advice
- Keeps the process calm and organized
Transitions can feel emotional for everyone involved. Having a steady, experienced advocate makes a difference.
**I worked with Nancy, from Arizona, and her daughter, Karin, from Marietta to find a new 55+ home in Dallas, GA. Karin and I visited several neighborhoods before settling on a new build. While Nancy attended to the sale of her home in Arizona, Karin & I worked together to ensure everything was perfect for Nancy in her new home.**
Nearly 10 Years Serving the 55+ Community
After beginning my career in 2004, I realized the 55 & over community was very under-served and in the past decade I have honed my knowledge and skills to provide them with the expertise needed to navigate this phase of life. In addition to my 55+ Realty Advisor designation, I am also an Accredited Buyers Representative, a Certified Skilled Negotiator, and a New Homes Specialist.
I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals and couples:
- Downsize from long-time family homes
- Relocate closer to family
- Transition into active adult communities
- Sell estates with care and respect
- Purchase new construction designed for aging in place
- Move on from active adult communities to assisted living
Every situation is unique. There is no one-size-fits-all approach and I treat each client’s circumstances with the time and attention they deserve.
Client Experiences
Candace C. 2024-2025
“Jenna Dixon is the best! She knows the market and is very professional. I would use her again for sure. She helped me purchase my new home in Powder Springs for a good price and then sell my old one in Woodstock for a great price; highly recommend her.”
Steve & Marti H. 2024
“Jenna Dixon has been a fantastic asset in locating the perfect home for us and finalizing the transaction. She has gone above and beyond what is normally expected of a Realtor by making numerous trips to the home for walk throughs with family, taking pictures and videos and many room measurements. Buying a home by long distance is a stressful process and Jenna worked overtime to make sure it all came together.”
Joe & Carol B. 2022
“Jenna was great she directed us to a new home that worked better for us than what we originally were looking for. She was very professional and also made it fun. She did not rush us through any of the houses, we were able to sit in the house and see how it felt. I would use her again if I need to look for something else.”
