- That’s different to what we thought.
All fair concerns. We cut through all the one sided sales pitch, breaking down the complexities of comparing your preferred shortlist of retirement villages in straight forward, plain english, while offering you discretion and anonymity if you choose.
Expertly covering the ground we know which many well meaning family, friends, solicitors or financial planners can’t be expected to be fully aware of.
Don’t become a statistic.
We see it firsthand every day, moving into a retirement village is a big decision. An exciting decision and yet sadly many people who buy into retirement villages don’t know what they are buying into. They often rely on word of mouth, the flashy brochures and websites, or put too much trust in that nice, friendly and very convincing salesperson.
Remember that the primary goal of all retirement villages (and their salespeople), is to sell and get you to buy into their village. The salespersons livelihood relies on one thing only, you buying into their retirement village. So don’t be pressured into a decision when you compare retirement villages, just because a salesperson needs to meet their monthly sales target.
