A structured advisory framework for older adults and their families navigating the hardest life and housing transitions. Because the best decisions are made before the crisis begins.
Pando is a grove of 47,000 aspen trees in Utah — one of the world’s oldest living organisms. Individual trees appear separate. Beneath the surface, they share everything: strength, nutrients, resilience across generations.
That’s the framework. Each aging adult, each family member, each advisor appears separate. Pando Path® connects them — root to root — so that when a major life transition comes, the whole family moves together, not in pieces.
Whether you are early, in the middle, or past the point of urgency — Pando Path® was built for this exact moment.
Each phase is designed to reduce friction before it becomes a transaction obstacle. The goal is not to move faster — it is to move right. A living process, not a linear checklist. Phases may recur as circumstances evolve.
Most families see only two options: stay or go. Pando Path® opens the conversation to what’s actually possible.
This overview walks through what Pando Path® is, why the hardest transitions in real estate are also the most important ones to get right, and how the framework protects every relationship in the room — including yours.

David Griffin has spent 20 years working the most complex case types in Arizona real estate — senior transitions, divorce, probate, and trust. He built Pando Path® because no structured framework existed for the families who needed it most. He is a licensed broker, a Maricopa County Superior Court Special Real Estate Commissioner, and the kind of person who will tell you not to sell your house if selling isn’t the right answer. For families just starting out, David’s guide to selling a parent’s home in Arizona is a practical first step. For those planning further ahead, his guide to making your Arizona home part of your retirement plan walks through the same decision before a crisis forces it.
Pando Path® was built to protect your client relationships through senior transitions. Learn how the framework integrates with your practice.

Maybe it’s just the slow weight of watching a parent need more than you can give. I built Pando Path® because no family should have to make those decisions in a panic. Call me. No pitch. Just a conversation.
Whether you are an older adult thinking about what comes next, an adult child trying to help a parent navigate a transition, or a family dealing with probate or divorce — David Griffin is the right person to call. There is no pressure and no pitch. Just a conversation about what you are facing and what your options look like.
Expect a call from David — not an assistant.
