The Transition Evaluation Assessment (T.E.A.) Program is a personalized service designed to guide people through complex housing and lifestyle transitions with clarity, compassion, and confidence. This comprehensive program addresses the emotional and practical challenges that arise when life circumstances change unexpectedly.
A study of 2,000 homeowners found that two in five called property decisions “the most stressful event in modern life”, ranking higher than job interviews or college applications.
The emotional toll is severe:
- 40% felt anxious, and 44% felt nervous throughout the process
- One-third cried at some point during their property journey
- The average homebuyer fought with loved ones four times
Imagine these stress levels when you’re already dealing with inheritance, divorce, or major life changes. You don’t have to face this overwhelming decision alone.
Over the past 15+ years, LifeCycle Transitions has helped thousands of people navigate some of life’s hardest chapters, including two major recessions and a global pandemic. The T.E.A. Program was built from real experiences to give people the clarity and confidence to move forward without making rushed or costly decisions.
