The origins of SALT DFW, LLC are rooted in founder Damon Matusz’s past career as a Physical Therapist of over 20 years; the last two thirds of which was primarily focused in the home health setting, as well as extensive time spent in a short term stay rehabilitation and independent senior living community.  

Quite often Damon would observe an older, senior adult experience an unplanned or unanticipated medical event leading to a hospitalization, followed by a rehab stay, before attempting to return home.  

Although aging in place at one’s home is often the ideal goal, unfortunately, many times senior adults and their family members, are often faced with the sudden unexpected urgent need to sell their home to downsize to a smaller home or senior living community in order to have their care safety and well being needs met.  While typically a well-meaning social worker may have a few recommendations on where to consider moving to or a referral to assist in them with, there typically is no one person to turn to for guidance with the rest of the downsizing process, leaving the senior adult or family members to fend for themselves.  If family members are involved, frequently they have to put their jobs, kids and other daily commitments on pause to search for the needed resources to carry out this often-overwhelming process,! This often leads to much chaos and stress! But it’s also an opportunity to draw from the experience of SALT DFW to get help navigating through this process.

In addition to Damon’s experience in these kinds of situations, he has encountered many homeowners desiring to make a downsizing move.  People in these situations are often influenced by a variety of factors, including: becoming empty nesters, desiring lower maintenance living, budgetary reasons, shifting priorities in life, and relocating closer to children or other family members. 

When Damon was introduced to the Senior Real Estate Institute early in his real estate career, he not only found other real estate agents that were heart driven and service minded like himself, but he was able to complete the extensive training and education needed to receive his certification as a CSHP (Certified Senior Housing Professional), giving him the ultimate purpose beyond that of a just a helping to fulfull a real estate transaction.   

That purpose is achieved through and by SALT DFW, LLC.
