Why Nestwell...
Nestwell by Street Smart Real Estate
We specialize in helping adults 55+ and their families navigate the emotional and practical process of downsizing.
We’re not just selling homes—we’re guiding life transitions with compassion, clarity, and full-service support every step of the way.
Specialized Real Estate Services for Life’s Next Chapter
After decades in real estate, I’ve found the most meaningful part of my work is helping individuals and families through the transition from a long-time home to what comes next.
That’s why I created Nestwell—a dedicated division of Street Smart Real Estate designed to support adults in their late 50s and beyond. Whether downsizing, relocating, or moving into senior living, we bring real estate expertise and real care to every step.
With Nestwell, you’re never alone. From the first conversation to the final closing, my team and I walk with you all the way.
