Mark Dawson, Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES), Founding Partner of GM Green Real Estate, Inc. and Founder of SLE says, "As a real estate agent with over 20 years experience in Marin County, I found that many seniors needed more than having their house listed. They had other issues – many times health issues – that needed to be addressed before they could even consider moving. This is why I founded the Seniors Lifestyle Exchange – so I could have a group of professionals available to me to help seniors solve these other concerns."
The SLE members are available to create a free, in-home, "New Lifestyle Action Plan," which is a comprehensive written report containing the keys to sensible, timely decisions regarding a lifestyle change. Call Mark Dawson at (415) 308-3735 or email: mdawson@gmgreen.com, to receive a free plan.
