Living In Missoula Montana
Full-service real rstate for Seniors & the Sandwich Generation in
Missoula and the Bitterroot Valley, Montana
Because home is more than a property.
It is where life happens, families change, and new chapters begin.
My name is Alexa Young
I specialize in real estate services for seniors and the sandwich generation.
As an only child, I understand the unique responsibility that can come with helping aging parents while also managing your own life, career, family, and future. Sometimes you are the one making the phone calls, researching options, touring communities, sorting through belongings, and making big decisions when you never expected to be in that role.
That is where I come in.
When we work together, I am not just your REALTOR®. I am your listing strategist, home investment resource, problem solver, and connection to the right professionals and resources for wherever life is taking you or your family next.
I work with adults in their 30s, 40s, and 50s who may be balancing aging parents, children, careers, and everything in between. Maybe you are helping Mom or Dad decide whether it is time to downsize. Maybe you are preparing to sell a longtime family home. Maybe you are buying a home that needs to work for multiple generations. Or maybe you are the person everyone turns to when a big family decision needs to be made.
You might be a millennial eldest daughter, the default decision maker, the sibling who lives closest, or simply the person your family trusts to handle it all.
Hi, I’m Diana Filkins, a Montana REALTOR® who understands that real estate decisions are rarely just about real estate.
My goal is to make the process feel more manageable by thinking through the details, anticipating what comes next, and helping you make informed decisions about your home and your family's future.
Whether you are buying, selling, downsizing, relocating, or helping a parent transition into their next chapter, I am here to help you navigate the process with a clear plan and a trusted resource by your side.
Does Your Home Work for the Life You’re Living?
Sometimes the home that was perfect for one chapter no longer fits the life you’re living today. I help you take an honest look at where you are, where life is heading, and whether your home is truly right for the next chapter.
Senior Buyers and Sellers
Whether you’re downsizing, preparing to sell before moving into senior living, or helping your parents navigate the transition, I’m here to make the process feel more manageable, organized, and as stress free as possible.
Sandwich Generation Families
When you’re caring for aging parents while raising your own family, the last thing you need is a home that creates more stress. I help you think beyond what works today and plan for what your family may need tomorrow.
Maybe that means a dining room where everyone can gather for the holidays, a bonus room the kids will quickly claim as their own, a main level that works for aging parents, or a layout that gives everyone the space and flexibility they need.
The goal is to find a home that can grow and change with your family, so you can spend less time worrying about your next move and more time enjoying the life happening inside your home.
Accessible & Beautiful Living
A home can be comfortable, functional, and accessible without feeling clinical or sacrificing the style you love. I’ll help you look beyond the obvious and consider features like thoughtful layouts, easy movement, natural light, single level living, and spaces that can adapt as your needs change. The goal is a home that feels safe and practical while still feeling warm, beautiful, and completely like you.
If your family’s situation doesn’t fit neatly into one category, that’s okay. I’m here to help with the complicated, unexpected, and sometimes emotional parts of real estate, too.
From the bittersweet decision to sell a longtime family home to the relief of knowing everyone has found the right next place, I’ll help you navigate each step with compassion, clarity, and a plan.
