“We moved from a house of 25 years. The Burhop Group was always calm and guided us on every step. We felt secure with them on our side.”
Many families have experienced the challenges of major lifestyle transitions, particularly for seniors.
And with an aging population, the need to help seniors downsize and move to homes more suited to their current lifestyle will continue to grow.
That’s why Shaunna Burhop and Tracy Bongiorno of The Burhop Group created SeniorState. Shaunna and Tracy know through their 23 years of real estate experience that these clients often deal with an overwhelming process and a lack of resources they can trust to help.
SeniorState is a full-service program offered exclusively by The Burhop Group that provides elevated real estate services to seniors through a customized, caring, and hands-on approach.
SeniorState fills a void in the current real estate market by providing a network of agents and services—such as move managers, care consultants, and attorneys—to assist along every step of the journey. SeniorState clients receive customized plans that will help ease the stress of these life events and help bring peace of mind.
