Specializing in Downsizing, Retirement & Life Transitions

Some moves aren't about finding a bigger house — they're about right-sizing into the next chapter. Dar Mardan and Vidar Group specialize in guiding homeowners 55 and older through exactly that: downsizing out of a family home that's outgrown its purpose, timing a sale around retirement income and lifestyle, relocating out of state to be near family or into a lower cost-of-living community, and working through the tax and equity questions that come with owning a property for decades.
This isn't a listing conversation. It's an advisory one. Dar's background as a CPA and MBA means clients get a real financial lens on capital gains, stepped-up basis, and reinvestment strategy — not just a plan to sell. Vida adds nearly 15 years of real estate experience, with a sharp eye for the improvements that help a longtime home sell for what it's actually worth. And because these transitions touch more than real estate, Dar works alongside trust and estate-planning attorneys and mortgage brokers who focus on this same 55+ demographic, so clients get one coordinated plan instead of pieces solved in isolation.
It's the same thinking behind Dar's Big D's — Diamond, Diaper, Death, Divorce — the life moments that drive a move. Downsizing and retirement are their own chapter in that story, closely tied to the Death transitions many families already come to Dar for: inheriting a property, settling an estate, or simply recognizing that the home that made sense for one stage of life no longer makes sense for this one.
