Downsizing, Transitions & Senior Home Sales

with Launie Myers of Century 21 – The Dream Team**

In this episode, Jamie Callahan sits down with Launie Myers, a long-time real estate professional and former senior living director who has spent decades helping older adults navigate one of the most emotional and challenging transitions of aging: selling the family home and downsizing safely.

Launie brings a rare perspective—she’s a senior herself, she has worked inside retirement communities, and she understands the fears, financial realities, and family tensions that arise when it's time to move.

You’ll hear:

• Why seniors often struggle with downsizing—and the emotional weight of “a lifetime of possessions”
• The TRUE cost of aging in place when 24/7 caregiving is needed (often $25,000–$40,000 per month)
• Why pricing a home correctly from day one matters more than ever
• How isolation and safety risks drive seniors toward better housing solutions
• What family members often misunderstand—and how to avoid common pitfalls
• Real stories of seniors Launie has helped transition with dignity, compassion, and the right support
• The wraparound services she coordinates: cleaners, packers, movers, downsizing specialists, and more

Launie is part of Century 21’s “Dream Team,” one of the top-performing teams in the entire state of Oregon—and a trusted advocate for seniors facing major life changes.
