As I sit down to pen this blog post, the memory of an evening in Hastings, Minnesota, comes to mind. It was May 17th, a typical spring day, the air was fragrant with blossoming flowers and filled with the chirping of birds. In the heart of this beautiful town, an event was about to take place, an event that would mark a milestone in its history - the first annual Hastings Senior Expo.

Amidst the bustling crowd of vendors and visitors, a warm, vibrant presence stood out. She was Christy Lundby Hill, a licensed REALTOR from The Lundby Hill Team of Edina Realty​. With a career spanning 29 years in real estate, Christy's expertise was matched only by her passion to serve the community. She had made it her mission to ease the process of moving and transitioning for seniors, with an empathetic understanding of their unique needs and challenges.

Christy's approach is guided by a deeply ingrained sense of family values. She was introduced to real estate by her mother and now works alongside her husband and nephew, forming a tightly-knit team dedicated to helping others navigate the often daunting process of buying and selling homes. Clients describe her as "amazing," praising her negotiation skills and her ability to listen deeply to their needs​.

At the Expo, Christy was asked about her organization's role and why it was important to be a part of this community event. With a gleam in her eye, she spoke of the importance of supporting seniors, of making the transition easier for them when they decide to move. She shared how over the last year, a third of her clients were seniors, looking to move to one-level townhomes or senior living centers. This experience had led her to undergo training to become a Senior Real Estate Specialist, allowing her to better understand and cater to the various needs of different age groups.

But Christy's support doesn't stop at the selling and buying of homes. The Lundby Hill Team also offers staging services, help with downsizing, and even cleaning services to ensure that their clients’ homes look their best. They work closely with other companies to provide comprehensive assistance, from packing to moving, making the entire process less stressful and more manageable for seniors​.

Christy emphasized the importance of community support in their mission to aid local seniors. She urged those who know someone considering a move to reach out and start planning ahead. Even if the move is a year or two away, Christy and her team are eager to help create a game plan, offering advice on how to prepare a home for sale, and providing resources to make the transition as smooth as possible.

Christy Lundby Hill and her team inspire and guide us through the complexities of life. They remind us of the importance of compassion, community, and connection. Through their dedicated work, they are not just selling homes but are helping to build a supportive community, uniting generations, and spreading love in the process.

The Hastings Senior Expo was more than just an event. It was a testament to the enduring spirit of the Hastings community and individuals like Christy who strive to make it a better place for all ages. Just as she puts it, "Hastings is a great place" - and with people like Christy at the helm, it is destined to remain so. So, let us take advantage of the wonderful resources Hastings has, and remember, as Christy says, "It's all about helping people."
