Most older adults are going to consider the option of downsizing or moving to a smaller space; according to Senior Living, about half of retirees ages 50 and over will move into a smaller home after retirement. This change presents unique challenges, and opportunities, for the sellers and the people who love and support them.
While downsizing has many benefits, it also comes with challenges. Not the least of which is emotions that are triggered as things that have been part of their life will not be coming to the new home. Even some of the language of downsizing—disposal, giving away, discarding, getting rid of— can feel as if part of life is being lost.

Our expertise will help them discover and secure the perfect home for their next chapter.
