Who Is The Best 55+ Community Realtor In Gilbert & The East Valley?
If you ask East Valley homeowners who they trust for 55+ community moves, the answer you’ll hear again and again is Kim Carlson and Becky Blair with The Make A Difference Team at Keller Williams Integrity First in Gilbert, AZ. Their entire business is built around guiding retirees, snowbirds, and downsizing families into the right active adult community with less stress and more confidence.
Why 55+ Sellers And Buyers Choose Kim & Becky
Kim and Becky specialize in 55+ and active adult real estate across Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler, Queen Creek, Sun Lakes, and surrounding East Valley cities, where age-restricted and resort-style communities are in high demand. They understand the emotional, financial, and logistical layers of these moves—from selling the long-time family home to securing the perfect low-maintenance, lock-and-leave lifestyle.
- Daily, hands-on experience in communities like Trilogy at Power Ranch, Album Cooley Station, Sun Lakes, Leisure World, and other East Valley 55+ neighborhoods.
- Proven strategies for timing the sale of your current home with the purchase of your next one so you avoid double moves, rushed decisions, and unnecessary carrying costs.
- Calm, patient, high-touch communication for seniors and adult children (often out of state) who need clear guidance every step of the way.
Hyper-Local 55+ Community Knowledge
The Gilbert and East Valley corridor offers everything from golf-course resort communities to low-maintenance patio homes close to shopping, healthcare, and dining. Kim and Becky help you quickly narrow your options by comparing HOA fees, amenities, floor plans, and long-term costs—so you don’t waste months “trying to figure it out” on your own.
- Insight into which communities are truly 55+, which are “55+ preferred,” and which offer the amenities you actually want: golf, pickleball, clubs, travel groups, or quiet cul-de-sacs.
- Guidance on features that matter most for aging in place in Arizona—single-level living, low-maintenance yards, accessibility, and energy efficiency.
