About Juli Ford

Juli Ford didn't set out to become one of the country's most recognized experts on how families live together. She set out to solve a problem her own family was living.
More than ten years ago, Juli and her family created their multi-generational home with her mom, Jane, following the death of her father. What she discovered was that almost no one in real estate, housing, or family planning was talking honestly about what that actually takes — the finances, the floor plans, the family dynamics, and the deeper questions about identity and legacy that come with it. So she started talking about it herself.

Today, Home After 50™ reaches over 200,000 families nationwide. More than 10,000 families have downloaded her multigenerational living resources. Her work has been featured in Business Insider, Newsweek, and on Fox & Friends. The Massachusetts Attorney General's office visited her home to interview her and her mother about ADUs, aging with dignity, and multigenerational financial security — a conversation that speaks to the policy-level impact this movement is having.
Juli brings nearly three decades of professional experience in real estate and housing to this work, including a twenty-year career in affordable housing leadership before becoming a Licensed Real Estate Broker and Certified Senior Advisor®. She holds her Mortgage Loan Originator license and works with families not just on where to live, but on how to finance, structure, and sustain the homes they are building together.
She is the founder and host of the Home After 50™ podcast, a coach to real estate agents and other professionals building heart-centered practices nationwide, and a sought-after speaker on the future of how families share space across generations.

But underneath all of it is a simpler truth. Juli is a 57-year-old woman who has lived this season herself. As a trained End-of-Life Doula, she brings something rare to this work — the ability to help families navigate not just the practical decisions, but the tender and emotional conversations that come with them. What happens to mom if this doesn't work out. How we talk about money without it tearing us apart. How a family figures out whether to bring aging parents home, invite adult children back, or create something entirely new that works for everyone across generations. She knows what it feels like to navigate those questions from the inside.

If you are a family trying to figure out how to make multigenerational living work, she has walked that path.
If you are a woman in the second half of life trying to figure out what comes next, she understands that question from the inside.
If you are a brand, a media outlet, or an organization looking for a grounded, trusted, nationally recognized voice on home and life after 50, she is ready for that conversation.
