With more than 50 years of real estate experience, Joe Metz helps seniors and their families navigate the difficult path of late-life housing transition. Joe is a licensed California Real Estate Broker specializing in assisting senior homeowners. He takes a consultative approach in helping owners decide whether to keep their homes, list them on the open market, or sell them privately. He is also a Professional Home Buyer and buys houses in as-is condition, providing a quick and easy solution that a real estate agent alone doesnt offer. As he approached his own senior years, he realized that no one had really laid out a complete map for seniors to follow in exploring their housing options, so he wrote the book Senior Housing Simplified. In his spare time, Joe enjoys gardening, hiking, teaching, reading, and spending time with family. Joe resides in the San Francisco Bay Area and has a son, a daughter, and four grandchildren.
