Helping Seniors and Their Families Navigate Life's Next Chapter
Real estate guidance rooted in compassion, experience, and a deep understanding of what this transition really means.
Know Allison Costelow
Before I was a REALTOR®, I spent over 20 years as a Certified Nursing Assistant — walking alongside seniors and their families during some of life's most tender moments. That background didn't leave me when I got my real estate license. It came with me.
Today, I combine that same care and advocacy with specialized real estate expertise to help seniors and their families make confident, informed decisions about home. Whether you're planning ahead, navigating a transition, or helping a loved one — you don't have to figure this out alone. I'm here to be your guide.
Ready to Right Size?
Letting go of a family home is emotional — and logistical. I help seniors and their families sort through the process with a clear plan, trusted resources, and zero pressure. From decluttering referrals to move coordination, we handle it together.
What I help with:
✅ Preparing the home for sale
✅ Connecting with senior move managers
✅ Timing your move around your next chapter
✅ Maximizing your sale price without overwhelm
Finding the Right Place to Land
Not sure whether it's independent living, assisted living, or a smaller home nearby? I work closely with senior housing advisors and care coordinators to help families understand every option — so you can make the choice that truly fits.
What I help with:
✅ Comparing community options in Solano & Contra Costa
✅ Coordinating with Senior Helpers, Enable Care Management & trusted partners
✅ Selling the current home to fund the transition
✅ Navigating timelines when care needs are urgent
