Is Downsizing the Right Move For You?

Here’s where you can determine whether downsizing might be a good idea now or in the future:

• Do you feel like your home isn’t the right fit for your current lifestyle?

• Do you find yourself with too much space, too much stuff, and too drained to take care of it all – physically, emotionally, and/or financially?

• Do you want to lower your monthly expenses – whether that be mortgage payments, maintenance and upkeep, or utilities?

• Do you want to travel more buy worry about your home when you’re gone?

• Are certain rooms in your home rarely, if every, used anymore?

• Are the stairs or shoveling a steep driveway no longer something you want to deal with?

• Have family members moved away and you want to be closer to them?

• Have you experienced a life change that makes having your current home too expensive, too big, and just not what you need or want anymore?

• Do you know you want to move, but feel stuck about starting the process?

If any of these apply to you, let’s talk. For many of us, the thought of moving feels overwhelming. Especially when you have a whole house full of stuff to either move, get rid of, or keep as memories, but i’m here to show you that downsizing doesn’t have to be overwhelming.

You can make it happen! And I have the knowledge and experience to help you every step of the way.
