Overview

Company Description

For nearly 40 years, Visavie, a Spectrum Health Care company, has been guiding seniors and their families through one of life’s most important transitions: finding the right retirement living solution. Our service is free for families, fully personalized, and rooted in compassion. We are expanding in Ontario and are looking for motivated Senior Living Advisors to join our growing network.

What is a Senior Living Advisor?

A Senior Living Advisor is a trusted guide who helps seniors and their families explore and choose retirement residences. You’ll provide personalized advice, emotional support, and practical guidance from the first call to the moment families find the right home.

This role is commission-based only (no base pay). Success depends on your initiative, networking, and business development efforts.

What You’ll Do

• Respond to new referrals and inquiries from families.
• Have phone or in-person consultations to assess needs and preferences.

• Organized, self-motivated, and entrepreneurial.

Realities to Be Aware Of

• This is an Independent Contractor role. You’ll be managing your own time, schedule, and clients — with full flexibility but also full responsibility.
• There is no base salary. Income is commission-based and depends on your business development efforts.
• Top performers earn $100,000+ per year, while most advisors earn between $60,000–$80,000.
