Welcome to Another Episode of the Women in the Middle Podcast
Finding your perfect retirement location can be one of the most exciting or confusing times in midlife. This episode explores the relevant issues to consider when you make the decision to move and relocate to the location for your retirement chapter.
My guest is retirement relocation expert, Margaret Vandergriff. Margaret founded Your Place Finder LLC in 2017 after three disastrous empty nest moves herself. These experiences greatly informed some of her best advice! Margaret helps individuals and couples avoid the pitfalls and reap the rewards of finding the perfect location to retire.
Drawing on 35 years of prospect research, strategic planning, and consulting/coaching experience, Margaret created the Spark System to guide retirees and almost retirees from deciding to move (or not), to finding their perfect retirement location, to smoothly navigating their move and transition to life in their new location.
