Moving on from the family home is a big step. Your Realty Link’s senior specialists make it simpler — helping you right-size, find comfortable one-level living, and move forward to your next chapter with confidence.
Quick Answer
Your Realty Link is a Southport-based brokerage with senior real estate specialists who help Central Indiana homeowners over 55 downsize, sell the family home, and move to one-level or 55+ living. Call Janet Giles-Schultz at 317-997-7404 or Elizabeth Cottler at 317-507-7770.
For many people, the hardest part of moving after 55 isn’t the house — it’s everything the house holds. Your Realty Link is a boutique brokerage based in Southport, Indiana with agents who specialize in the senior market. We understand that the move from a two-story family home to a smaller, low-maintenance, one-level place is as much about feelings as it is about square footage, and we take the time to get it right.
Every later-in-life move is different. Some clients want to be closer to grandchildren; others want a 55+ community with amenities and no yard work, or a ranch home where everything is on one floor. We start by listening — then we build a plan around what matters most to you.
We help you find the home that fits this chapter — often smaller and simpler, but the right size for how you actually live now.
Ranch homes, patio homes, condos, and 55+ communities like Del Webb — less upkeep, more time for what you enjoy.
We line up the repairs, updates, and cleanout help that get a long-owned home ready to sell for top dollar.
Selling and buying at once is stressful. We align the timelines so you’re not carrying two homes or scrambling to move.
A senior real estate specialist does more than list a house. We know the 55+ communities across the metro, we’re patient with a move that may take time, and we coordinate the moving pieces — downsizing, estate-sale help, movers, and repairs — so the transition feels manageable instead of overwhelming. And because Your Realty Link is a full-service MIBOR brokerage, you get the whole market and a proven marketing plan behind the sale of your current home.
You don’t always have to pay cash to buy your next home. “Retirement mortgage” options — including reverse mortgages (HECMs) and reverse-for-purchase loans — can let qualified buyers 62 and older buy a home with no required monthly mortgage payment, using home equity and retirement income. These programs aren’t right for everyone, so rather than give one-size-fits-all advice, we connect you with trusted local lenders who specialize in retirement financing and can walk you through the numbers.
The logistics are often what people dread most. We help you break the move into steps — deciding what to keep, arranging estate sales or donations for the rest, scheduling movers, and timing everything around your closing — so “goodbye to the memories” can become “hello to the next chapter” without the chaos.
Your Realty Link gives you the full MIBOR MLS — every active listing, updated in real time. Tell us your must-haves and we’ll set up a saved search so new homes that fit come straight to you.

It’s an agent who focuses on the needs of buyers and sellers over 55 — someone who understands downsizing, 55+ and one-level communities, coordinating the sale of a long-time family home with the purchase of the next one, and the emotional side of a later-in-life move.

“Retirement mortgage” is a general term for financing options built around retirement income and home equity — including reverse mortgages (HECMs) and reverse-for-purchase loans that let qualified buyers 62+ purchase a home with no required monthly mortgage payment. Every situation is different, so we connect you with trusted local lenders who specialize in these programs rather than giving one-size-fits-all advice.
Yes. Beyond listing and buying, we help coordinate the pieces that make a later-in-life move manageable — right-sizing furniture, connecting you with movers and estate-sale help, and lining up the repairs and updates that get the family home ready for market.
Most of our senior clients look for low-maintenance, one-level living — ranch homes, patio homes, condominiums, and active-adult (55+) communities such as Del Webb. We can set up a saved search matching your must-haves so new listings come straight to you.
