And Why I’m the Specialist to Guide You Through It
By Cardwell Thaxton, Senior Real Estate Specialist® | Certified Probate Specialist | REALTOR® – Serving Central & South Jersey

You’re not just selling a house.
You’re closing a chapter—and opening a new one.

You don’t just need a REALTOR®.
You need a guide who understands that after 50, real estate isn’t just about contracts.
It’s about clarity, compassion, and continuity.

👋 Hi, I’m Cardwell Thaxton—and for seniors in New Jersey, I’m more than a real estate agent. I’m your advocate, your advisor, and your transition partner.

🧭 Why Senior Real Estate is Different

For older adults, a move is never “just a move.” It often means:

  • Leaving the home you built your life in

  • Coping with the loss of a partner

  • Making financial decisions for your next chapter

  • Navigating family dynamics and legacy planning

**That’s why I specialize in helping seniors through these complex transitions—**with patience, precision, and heart.

🔹 FOR SELLERS: Honoring the Past, Protecting the Future

Selling a home filled with memories?
You deserve someone who treats your story with respect—and your sale with strategy.

As your Senior Real Estate Specialist®, I help you:

  • ✅ Price your home to attract the right buyers—without leaving money on the table

  • ✅ Coordinate estate sales, clean-outs, and trusted movers

  • ✅ Navigate probate with expertise

  • ✅ Downsize without feeling like you're downgrading

📌 And yes—I make sure the people searching for a “realtor near me” find someone who truly understands seniors.

🔹 FOR BUYERS: Rightsizing with Dignity

Maybe you want fewer stairs. Or more community. Or just less stuff.

Whatever your reason—I’ll help you rightsize your life, not just your home.

  • 🏡 Find accessible homes, 55+ communities, or peaceful retreats

  • 💡 Get honest advice (never sales pressure)

  • 🤝 Lean on my network of legal, financial, and aging-in-place professionals

This is your fresh start. Let’s make it a joyful one.

🔹 FOR ATTORNEYS: Probate Real Estate Made Simple

If you’re a lawyer managing estates, you need more than a real estate agent.
You need a Certified Probate Specialist who understands your process, timeline, and goals.

I help you:

  • 🚀 Expedite estate property sales

  • 🧘 Keep families informed, calm, and confident

  • 🛠️ Coordinate repairs, clean-outs, and vendors

  • ✅ Prevent delays, disputes, or paperwork pitfalls

Let’s collaborate to deliver value, closure, and peace of mind.

🔹 FOR SENIOR GROUPS: Free Workshops That Educate and Empower

I offer free, in-person or virtual presentations to senior centers, communities, and clubs.

Topics include:

  • “Housing Options for Seniors in New Jersey”

  • “How to Prepare Your Home for Sale After 50”

  • “Navigating Probate Without the Stress”

  • “Avoiding Common Real Estate Scams”

🎤 Book me for your next event—and let’s arm our seniors with knowledge.

🔹 FOR INVESTORS: Strategic Access to the Booming Senior Market

The senior real estate market is growing—and I’m your insider to it all.

  • 📦 Access to downsizing sellers looking for fast, fair deals

  • 🔐 Off-market and pocket listings

  • 🧠 Insights into the needs and desires of senior buyers

Partnering with me means seeing what others don’t—and winning with purpose.

🔹 FOR FINANCIAL PLANNERS: Add Real Estate to Your Wealth Strategy

When your clients are planning for retirement, legacy, or long-term care, real estate plays a major role.

I help you:

  • Align housing choices with financial and health goals

  • Maximize equity and minimize stress during transitions

  • Provide your clients with holistic, values-based guidance

I’m not just your real estate resource—I’m your strategic ally.
