About Compass Senior’s Services Inc. Creator Alison Anderson, CRTS™
Alison Anderson has been awarded the Certified Relocation and Transition Specialist designation. Compass Senior’s Services Inc., is committed and dedicated to CRTS™ standards, principals and practices of this accreditation.
The ability to communicate and to source out what was needed, be it funding, home support, information, education, treatment and modifications to the home challenged her yet was a great source of satisfaction and accomplishment. It was during this time that Alison entered into the Real Estate field. Using her parent’s friends as her first initial contacts (after all she had all their names and contact info in her parents address book and they knew her) she began to carve out the “senior’s real estate market” as her niche. It was there that she truly experienced the emotional side to a move through the eyes of seniors.
When someone has raised a family and created the energy and synergy of a home the process to sift through that can be a lot for anyone to handle. Alison has witnessed the good-byes to homes, to children and spouses. She has raised a glass of good cheer to love, laughter and loss. It was a true compliment to have been given the responsibility to assist with their moves and to have shared in the gift of yester years. Thanks to the senior’s trust and referrals and her commitment to strive for results not regrets Alison consistently ranked in the top 6 % of the real estate industry. After close to 15 years with Real Estate Alison desired further education and the need to work with people in a new venue.
With the pursuit of further education Alison found herself working with adults in transition; empowering them to discover their full potential through connecting them to resources and programs within their communities. Being familiar with the demographics of the working and retiring workforce it seemed to be timely to implement her interest with working with the aging population and their families once again.
Alison is the youngest of three children and the eldest of six……confusing you say! Yes Alison was adopted and his been reunited with her biological family. Alison is one of creators of “The Forget Me Not Family Society” a non-profit resource providing educate to adoptees and families surrounding adoption. Alison not only is an advocate for people but animals as well. She has worked diligently over the years to help rescue animals and is one of the original creators of the Royal City Humane Society.
About Compass Senior Services
Our goal is not just to move our clients, but to ensure the quality of lifestyle and home style as they relocate to a new home.
We view the home transition process as an opportunity to:
1. Review the quantity of possessions required to live comfortably
2. Take sometime to enjoy and preserve life memories
3. Focus on the future
We provide advocacy, advice, information, labour, and expertise to help make the relocation and downsizing / rightsizing process more manageable for the client and their family.
We will focus on moving the client, furnishings and organizing the new home and the disposition of all other items. At the end of the day the clients clothing are hung in their closets, beds are set up and made, lights and electrical equipment or set up and pictures hung. “Welcome Home”.
Compass Senior’s Services Inc. specializes in serving the Fraser Valley, Greater Vancouver and the surrounding areas. We are happy to provide resources and referrals to other parts of the province and through out Canada and the USA.
