Homes For Heroes And The Walk To End Alzheimer’s

Today’s edition of the Senior Hour has guests Sam Silver and Rick Ferrante. In the first segment, Barbara and Gene speak with Sam about a couple very important notes on Proposition 60/90 as well as some other advice on buying and selling homes.

First Segment

Proposition 60 – originated in LA County when someone 55+ wants to sell the house to downsize they were able to keep the tax base what they originally had.

Proposition 90 – now it extends to other counties “It helps people — we get to a point in our lives where the kids are gone and we want to move from a bigger house to smaller house, this will help people.” – Sam Silver

“The worst thing I think we can see is a veteran [or senior] not being able to pay their property tax and then getting evicted.” – Dr. Gene Dorio

“These are some options that maybe a lot of people don’t know about, and they are afraid to sell the house.” – Sam Silver on Prop 90 and the benefit it be for people

“They (seniors) have to call me! I have sources … and I can help them get in better position.” – Sam Silver

“The sad part it is it seems like sometimes it is a bit unfair in how they (gov’t) levy out taxes.” – Dr. Gene Dorio

“Us realtors are always going back to school to keep up on the latest things … we have to know what the programs are out there because the programs out there–the programs are always changing.” – Sam Silver

“We’re more than just realtors … there are a lot of things we do behind the scenes to protect our clients.” – Sam Silver

On October 8th at the Bridgeport Park, the Walk To End Alzheimer’s will take place, a fundraiser to help raise money to fight the disease, find a cure and support people afflicted by it.

“It’s a disease [Alzheimer’s] that’s doing nothing but growing.” – Rick Ferrante
