1) We offer free resources, tools, tips and advice to educate you about the Downsizing process.

We hope the resources, tools, tips, and advice we provide on this site will help you approach your senior move or home transition with confidence.

Start with our free resources that include a daily downsizing tip, detailed plans with checklists, a comprehensive guide, and exclusive advice from the pros.  We offer detailed advice and resources for every step of the process.  Visit our blogs and articles for inspiration, personal stories, and solutions to common problems.

2) We connect you with vetted transition experts in your community.

When it’s time to bring in extra hands, we’ll help you connect with vetted professionals in your area.  Our local partners are Senior Move Managers,  Professional Organizers, and other transition support services.  These affiliates are independently-owned businesses that provide services through their own customary fee schedules and practices.

We're Ready to Help

We understand that approaching a major home transition  or senior move can be an overwhelming prospect.  Our experience also teaches us that many people stay in their family homes for years beyond what makes sense physically, financially or practically.  If you’re feeling apprehensive about taking the plunge, your certainly not alone.  Common fears of  downsizers include:

  • leaving an important stage of their life behind.
  • making mistakes about what to keep and what to leave behind.
  • paying too much for home repairs, organizing, moving, real estate fees, etc.
  • sorting/managing photos, paper and documents.
  • physically removing unwanted furnishings and other items.

These are all certainly valid concerns, but the best way to mitigate these risks is to start thinking about your plans while you have the time and energy to make deliberate decisions.  When you consult with a home transition professional early in the process, you can enjoy greater control and more overall comfort throughout the process.
