Home Buying Services
Buying a new retirement property in one of our villages has never been easier thanks to our Home Buying Services.
The Home Buying Service available to you will depend on which community you choose to call home.
However, no matter which community you’re moving to, the outcome of the Home Buying Service will be the same - an offer is made on your current house and, if you’re happy with it, it’ll be purchased without the need for listing.
Enjoy a quick, simple, stress-free move without the hassle of traditional selling methods.
