Jeanette Forni sits down with longtime friend and real estate veteran Julie Cosgrove of One Simple Solution to talk about a need she didn't expect to find in her 40+ year career: helping seniors and their families navigate downsizing and relocation. Julie shares how a conversation at a Keller Williams conference in 2015 led her and her husband to launch One Simple Solution in 2016, a company that handles everything from floor-planning a new space to coordinating estate sales, home repairs, financing, and even out-of-state moves.
Julie and Jeanette dig into why families wait so long to start the process — loneliness, deferred home maintenance, and the emotional weight of letting go of a lifetime of belongings — and how getting ahead of it can mean the difference between a senior thriving in a new community versus declining alone in a house that's become too much to manage. Julie also explains how her team can unlock financing for pre-sale repairs that boost a home's value, and how she partners with other real estate agents even when she isn't the listing agent, to make sure families get the full support they need.
