SENIOR TRANSITIONS

As founder of Luxury Transitions in Santa Barbara, Mary Layman has established herself as much more than a real estate agent for seniors—she's a dedicated senior transition coach. Mary guides older adults through every aspect of their housing changes, offering compassionate support that addresses the emotional, logistical, and financial complexities of downsizing or relocating in later life. Her approach recognizes that senior moves often involve decades of memories and significant life adjustments, providing tailored assistance with sorting possessions, coordinating movers, and connecting clients with trusted resources for estate sales, home modifications, and senior-focused legal services.

Mary's holistic senior transition coaching extends beyond the transaction to ensure her clients feel confident and cared for throughout the entire process. She takes time to understand each senior's unique needs and preferences, arranging personalized tours of retirement communities, assisting with floor planning for new spaces, and facilitating family conversations about changing housing needs. With her extensive knowledge of Santa Barbara's senior-friendly neighborhoods and communities, Mary helps her clients find not just a new property, but a new home that supports their lifestyle goals while preserving their independence and dignity.
