Retirement & Residential Real Estate

Hosted by Alexa Oestreicher, of Sotheby’s International Realty.

Where you live plays a crucial role in how you live in retirement – especially as you age. But too often people don’t intentionally think about the effects that their housing decisions will have, or even what their housing options are. Retirement is a period of time where you have the flexibility to design what you want your life to look like. You can decide not only where you would like to live, but how you would like to live throughout your retirement.

Full Access only $99

Experience

As a Maine native, I have lived in several coastal communities. I now live in Yarmouth with my husband, our children and two dogs. Over the years I have developed a personal understanding of many schools, communities and their range of offerings.

Sharing my local expertise and connections is vital to my clients and contributes to their ability to make informed decisions.

My Background

Prior to my career in real estate, I worked for a reinsurance company marketing and implementing products across the United States. I left that career with the start of my family- which also allowed me to follow my other loves – photography and real estate!

My husband Drew & I decided to move back to Yarmouth in 1997- the town in which we had both spent part of our childhoods. We love it here! After our experiences living in New York and Virginia, we decided the quality of life we wanted included being able to access the beauty and community of Maine.

Living in Maine

Daily walks in the woods and along the ocean, short drives to the ski slopes, easy access to the water – I enjoy it all! When I am not working, I can be found paddle boarding, boating, hiking, swimming, cooking and dining with friends and family!
