Village Guru helps downsizers move with confidence

How many times have you heard residents say “my only regret is not moving sooner”? Village Guru is helping to remove the financial
confusion so downsizers can move with confidence.

Rachel Lane created Village Guru to take the financial confusion out of downsizing and it’s proving to be a big hit. 

“My motivation was very simple, so many downsizers said the same thing, “my only regret is not moving sooner”, I wanted to remove the financial confusion from that decision.

“Confusion leads to inaction “that delay isn’t just weeks or months it can be years … years they could have spent enjoying the lifestyle villages offer: feeling safe, being part of a community, engaging in hobbies and sports… in the words of a millennial, ‘living their best life’.”

So what does Village Guru do?

Village Guru is software that creates a report tailored to your village and each resident showing the ingoing, ongoing and outgoing costs
of the village together with an estimate of their Age Pension, Rent Assistance and Home Care Package fees. It can compare different payment options within a village, one village to another, and downsizing with staying in their current home, tracking customer decisions.
