I understand, because I’ve done it

I still have clients in the same homes I sold them more than 25 years ago, and now they’re starting to think about their next move: downsizing. Having downsized myself not long ago, I have first-hand knowledge of the best way to start the process.

Downsizing can be emotional. It’s often about more than square footage. It’s about family, memories and what you want the next chapter to look like. I’ll take the time to listen, answer every question, and explain everything in simple terms.

How I make downsizing easier

• A plan first. We meet at your home to talk about your motivation, your timeline, and what you’ll need in your next home.

• Buy or sell first? We decide the right order based on your financial situation, and I’ll make sure your timeline is protected.

• Knowing your home’s value. My Comparative Market Analysis gives you a clear moving budget.

• Help getting ready. I can call the tradespeople and organize a stager. All you need to do is open the door.

• Finding your next home. A condo, a bungalow or a smaller house? We’ll build a needs and wants list and search until we find the one.

• Moving day support. I can help you find a reputable moving company, and I’ll coordinate walkthroughs, banks and lawyers.

Helping parents downsize

Often it’s adult children who reach out first, on behalf of a parent. I’m happy to work with the whole family, and to keep everyone informed along the way.
