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.
