Kimberly Shute

When I went into real estate I found myself struggling for purpose; selling for selling’s sake was not fulfilling.  Often, in the rush to move, we pack our items and our stories without giving them much thought. I was inspired to combine my passion for the respect and care of elders, honoring their wisdom with giving life to their story.  This became the mission of Mature Moves Real Estate Team.

​

I became a Certified Senior Housing Professional, which is an in-depth, specialized certification, specially designed to develop those valuable skills that are needed in guiding seniors in downsizing, from a larger home into one that fits their current needs and lifestyle goals.  Understanding the emotional, as well as, the physical concerns that we face as we become older is critical in creating a safe, smooth and comfortable transition.  In addition, I became certified as a Downsizing Coach, which has opened my eyes to the very insightful ways to communicate with seniors and family members.  I did not realize the depth of training that is possible to help individuals, couples and families downsize from years of possessions, as well as prepare for moving and transcend the fears that can result in extreme overwhelm.

 

Here at Mature Moves Real Estate Team and Mature Moves Made Easy, we believe in approaching real estate and move management a little differently, by embracing what’s important to our clients and our community. As a division of Look In Portland, our company mission extends past exceptional real estate services to include education, legacy, and health, with a focus on those 55 and over (the best years of life!).
