Navigating the “What’s Next” Stage

January has a way of inviting reflection and lately, I’ve noticed something.

 

So many of my friends and clients are in the same place: kids launched (or launching), houses that suddenly feel larger than they need to be, and a quiet sense that something is shifting, even if no one is quite sure what yet.

 

I get it – because I’m there too. For several years now, we’ve been living inside those same questions. Not rushing. Not forcing answers. Just slowly, thoughtfully processing what this next chapter might look like for us.

 

What I’ve learned is that this stage isn’t always about making a move, it’s about understanding your options. From navigating today’s limited inventory, to figuring out how a move might be funded, to the very real work of getting a longtime home ready… and even the bigger question beneath it all: How do I want to live now?

 

These aren’t questions that fit neatly into a search box – they’re conversations.

 

If you find yourself wondering but not ready to act, I offer relaxed, no-pressure conversations where we can talk through ideas, timing, finances, logistics, or just the emotional side of it all. I’m very much in the trenches with you, and I’ve gathered a broad perspective that I’m happy to share. Sometimes clarity starts with a simple conversation.
