How I Support Multigenerational Families in Real Estate

Buying a home for a multigenerational household—where grandparents, parents, and children live together—requires thoughtful planning and a deep understanding of family dynamics. As your real estate advisor, I’m committed to helping you find a space that works for every generation.

1. Understanding Your Family’s Needs

The first step is learning about your lifestyle, priorities, and how each family member lives day-to-day. I take the time to ask the right questions:
    •    Does anyone need main-level living or accessibility features?
    •    Do you need separate entrances, in-law suites, or casitas?
    •    How many bedrooms and bathrooms do you truly need?
    •    Do you prefer communal spaces or more privacy?

This helps us narrow down homes that meet both collective and individual needs.

2. Identifying the Right Property Types

I specialize in finding properties suited for multigenerational living, including:
    •    Homes with guest quarters or dual master suites
    •    Casita or attached guest house options
    •    Properties with finished basements or separate living wings
    •    New construction with multigenerational floor plans
    
These homes allow family members to live together comfortably—while still having privacy and independence.

3. Guiding You Through Financing Options

Multigenerational families sometimes combine resources to qualify for a larger or more suitable home. I connect buyers with trusted lenders who understand how to:
    •    Combine multiple incomes on a mortgage
    •    Explore loans such as  FHA or VA loan options with multigenerational appeal
    •    Offer down payment assistance programs that support family buyers

4. Supporting Long-Term Planning

Whether you’re caring for aging parents or planning to support grown children long-term, I help you think ahead. I’ll walk you through how to:
    •    Choose a home that will age with your family
    •    Consider future rental possibilities or resale value
    •    Stay in neighborhoods with access to schools, healthcare, and senior services

5. Personalized, Family-First Service

I know that for multigenerational families, buying a home is more than a transaction—it’s about creating a shared space filled with love, care, and memories. My job is to make the process seamless, respectful, and empowering for everyone involved.
