  • Finding the next home

What matters in the next home

Questions many people consider when planning a move in retirement.

  • One level or two

    Think about stairs, doorways and how the home will suit you over many years.

  • Close to the people you love

    Being near family and friends often matters more than any feature of the house.

  • Less upkeep

    A smaller yard or a community that handles some maintenance can free up your time.

  • Easy to leave

    If you plan to travel, consider a home that is simple to lock up and leave.

Retirement move questions

For people retiring to the Valley or moving within it.

Can Arizona Best help me plan a move to Arizona in retirement?

Yes. Our relocation team offers relocation counseling, temporary housing, vendor referrals, cost of living comparisons and community information, and connects you with an agent.

Can you help me sell the home I have now?

Yes. If your home is in the Valley, one of our agents can sell it for you. If it is in another state, we can connect you with an agent there through our LeadingRE membership.

Can you help me downsize within the Valley?

Yes. Our agents can help you sell your current home and find one that fits the next stage of life.

How do I choose a community?

Our relocation team can share community information, including demographics, and our agents can tell you about the areas where they work. Many of them live there too.
