Home for Life

Empowering you to make informed property decisions about your retirement.

The Home for Life program has been developed by Age Concern Waikato in partnership with Gemma Lewell of Lodge Real Estate to give older people the tools, information, and support needed to make smart decisions about their living arrangements. Now and in the future.

The heart of the program is a series of seminars that cover a range of topics. Issues that may prompt a move, the opportunities to be considered, preparing your property, and what to expect when it comes time to sell. You'll get the chance to discuss your own circumstances and receive helpful, unbiased, professional advice.

Seminars are held in the Lodge Auction Room, 28 Harwood St, Hamilton Central.
