Retiring or relocating later in life is more than a move—it’s a major life transition.

I’m Judith Barnett, a retired psychologist and real estate professional who relocated to Cottonwood, Arizona myself. I understand firsthand what it means to leave behind long-standing relationships, familiar routines, and a community you’ve known for years while navigating the emotional, financial, and practical realities of starting a new chapter.

My work is dedicated to helping retirees, veterans, and families thoughtfully explore life in Cottonwood and the Verde Valley. I provide clear, honest guidance for those who want more than surface-level relocation advice and are looking for a place that truly feels like home.

Through local insight and real conversations, I help clients understand what daily life is really like in Northern Arizona—from Cottonwood and Sedona to Camp Verde, Clarkdale, and Cornville. This includes guidance on downsizing, housing options, healthcare access, and community connections, along with trusted introductions to lenders, title agents, and other professionals who support a smooth transition.

My background in psychology shapes how I approach real estate. I believe successful moves are built on clarity, preparation, and compassionate guidance—not pressure or rushed decisions. Whether you’re planning for retirement, relocating for lifestyle or family, or simply exploring what’s next, my goal is to help you feel informed, supported, and confident every step of the way.

If you’re ready to explore your next chapter in the Verde Valley, I’m here to help you navigate it with care, insight, and experience.
