April 1, 2020 by DeAnne

Top Ten Downsizing Tips

  1. Develop your move plan
  • Assess what you need to do and develop a timeline
  1. Think strategically
  • Sequence your plan to maximize the marketability of your home
  1. Create a scaled-floor plan
  • Remove guesswork and avoid costly, stress-producing errors
  1. Work in chunks of time
  • Divide big tasks into smaller ones; one hour per day
  1. Sort, don’t pack
  • Sort in advance to make money from things you don’t need
  1. Do reality checks
  • Use measurements to compare space in old and new residence
  1. Take control
  • Be firm with family members about decisions and your timeframe
  1. Get generous
  • You can’t take it all with you so be generous with family and friends
  1. Start early, end happy
  • Allow enough time to finish the task on time without undue stress
  1. Ask for help
  • We will do as much or as little as you wish but get involved with a professional Senior Move Manager
