The Truth about Going from WE to ME

Losing a lifelong partner who shared in life’s many responsibilities such as finances, home maintenance, cooking or arranging social activities can leave a giant void.

Inevitably, most of us must one day face the reality of going from “We” to “Me”.

During this months 90 minute webinar, we looked at what “We” can do to be better prepared and the resources and help available to those who have expectantly or unexpectedly become a “Me”.

The Truth about The Aging Brain

As we age, many of us become concerned about if and how we or a loved one may be affected by the aging brain.

A diagnosis of dementia or increasing problems with memory loss often results in a flurry of emotions, multiple complex questions, and the making of both short and long term plans.

One of the biggest questions tends to be how long can (or should) I live at home?

Couples struggle to agree on whether to remain in place or relocate, when and who to hire for support, and how to have conversations with others about their plans.

During this recently recorded 90 minute panel event featuring local experts, we gained important insights into these questions and more.

Gave us time and attention we needed

We were referred to Annette by our realtor in the San Francisco Bay Area. When we first started looking for a new home, Annette drove us around, pointed out things that we wouldn’t normally notice and she never made us feel rushed. Annette and her team go at your pace. We ended up buying a new build home that we love, and we thank Annette for introducing us to that development. Annette always gave us the time and attention we needed, we really appreciated it. She was so flexible and helpful when we could not be there in person. We would always recommend her and her team to anyone.

Genuinely good people who work well as a team

We have completed three real estate transactions in the last three years, two of which were very professionally managed by the Junells. We found them to be knowledgeable and willing to take on all manner of concerns and address each professionally. They and their staff were immediately responsive to our concerns and were great resources for who might be able to solve whatever problem we brought to the table. They always had the willingness to go the extra mile whether on the sale or buy side of the transaction. Their contacts throughout the area made it easy to get the solutions we needed and to bring each of the transactions to a satisfactory conclusion.

I was impressed with Annette’s kind persistence over many months and her understanding of our situation and willingness to hang in there with us. She always followed up with me when we had agreed she would–not too soon or too long after our agreed upon contact time. I never felt I couldn’t discuss problems and I never felt pressure, but I did feel genuine caring.

I rarely recommend services when asked, however, I feel confident in recommending the Junell Group to anyone looking for help selling or buying real estate. They are genuinely good people who work well as a team on behalf of their clients.
