Weldon and Kristen have gone from cadets at the U.S. Air Force Academy to 10+ military moves throughout the country. Years later, they chose to come back — raising their family, serving neighbors, and guiding others throughout the Pikes Peak region.

Weldon and Kristen made more than 10 military moves themselves, so he understands report dates, buying from a distance, and the sell-or-rent decision when orders come.

Start the conversationThis chapter deserves patience. As a Seniors Real Estate Specialist® (SRES®), Weldon starts with his Life → Wealth → Real Estate™ method, because a move at this stage shapes your income, your taxes, and what you leave behind.
Not everyone is meant to downsize, and sometimes staying is the right answer. Before a sign goes in the yard, it's worth taking the tax and estate questions to a CPA and an estate attorney, so the plan for the house fits the rest of your plan.
When you're ready, Weldon recommends the professionals the move calls for, such as a senior move manager, cleanout or estate sale help, cleaners, and movers. You approve them, and he coordinates the moving parts so nothing falls on you alone. No rushing and no pressure, whether you're rightsizing after decades in one home, moving closer to family, moving to independent or assisted living, or deciding what to do with a home after the loss of a spouse.
