It was a pleasure to have Vivien Sharon, REALTOR® with Sotheby’s International Realty Canada, join us for BUZZ Luxury Secrets at The Well, in collaboration with BUZZ BUZZ MEDIA INC. and Tridel. Vivien participated in a panel discussion focused on “Right-Sizing” and the importance of supporting the aging population in maintaining home ownership.
The Panel, Right-Sizing, Where Lifestyle Meets Livability was moderated by Richard Silver, Silver Burtnick & Associates, Sotheby’s International Realty Canada. Richard led a thoughtful conversation with Vivien Sharon, Ellie Davis and Anita Zaman on the growing trend of right-sizing, finding the ideal balance between space, style, and value. Set against the stunning backdrop of The Well, the discussion also explored how intentional planning are transforming the way REALTORS® work with this specialized demographic with care and expertise. At the Event, we were proud that Vivien Sharon shared the launch of her new platform – SENIORS MATTER – at BUZZ Luxury Secrets along with her Press Release here:
Toronto-based lifestyle Realtor® Vivien Sharon is proud to announce the launch of SeniorsMatter.ca, one of the first-of-its-kind Canadian website dedicated to supporting baby boomers, seniors, and their adult children through life’s most significant transitions. As a multi-generational lifestyle real estate broker, Vivien specializes in both the sophisticated urban lifestyle of Yorkville, the Annex, and central Toronto neighbourhoods, and in helping families navigate the emotional and practical complexities of rightsizing later in life.
Creating SeniorsMatter.ca is deeply personal to Vivien. Having made the move from a large suburban family home to a downtown condo herself, and a daughter with a mother over 100 years old, she understands firsthand how emotional and overwhelming these decisions can be.
As a Lifestyle 55+ Master Realtor® with advanced training in seniors real estate, she brings both professional expertise and heartfelt empathy to her clients’ journey, whether they are empty nesters exploring lifestyle changes or adult children navigating the needs of aging parents.
Vivien is also the proud author of the book, The Boomer’s 7-Step Guide to Downsizing: Overcoming Fear and Discovering Freedom, a practical and compassionate resource that has helped countless Canadians navigate the emotional and logistical challenges of letting go of the family home and embracing a new chapter in life. Her experience, both lived and professional, continues to fuel her mission of education, support, and empowerment.
With one in five Canadians now over the age of 65, SeniorsMatter.ca fills a growing gap in the market by offering guidance, information, and support for three generations: Generation X adult children (aged 45+), Baby Boomers (aged 61–79), and the advanced aging population (80–100+). Organized into five key pillars, Seniors Real Estate, Lifestyle Options, Housing Options, Surviving Partner, and Estates, the website is a trusted resource that blends practical advice with emotional understanding.
Vivien’s mission is simple: to help families approach the next chapter of life with clarity, choice, and confidence. “Rightsizing is about more than real estate—it’s a personal evolution,” she says. “This site is about making people feel seen and supported before, during, and after a life transition, whether you’re planning ahead or facing a crisis.
