Downsizing to a Home That Fits How You Want to Live

Moving to a smaller home? I help you sort through your belongings, sell your home and time your move so it all fits together.

Less House, More Life

Downsizing is usually about what you gain: less upkeep, fewer stairs, more time for the things you enjoy. The hard part is getting from here to there, especially when a home holds years of belongings and memories.

I hold the SRES (Seniors Real Estate Specialist) designation, and I help you plan the sale and the move together, so nothing feels rushed.

How I Help

  • Belongings. When there's more than your next home can hold, I coordinate an estate sale company, cleaners and anyone else the home needs.
  • Getting ready. Repairs, a pre-listing inspection, a checklist for photos and showings, and a home warranty while your home is for sale.
  • Pricing. Your price comes from real local sales, and you'll see the same numbers I see.
  • Your next home. If you're buying, we find the home that fits how you want to live now.
  • Timing. We plan the sale around your next step. In one sale, the buyers gave my client a free 30-day rent-back after closing.

When the Move Comes with a Big Change

If you're downsizing after a loss or a health change, see selling your home through a big life change. The full selling plan is on how I sell a North Idaho home.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I do with everything that won't fit?

I coordinate an estate sale company, cleaners and other vendors so you aren't sorting it alone.

Can I sell before I've found my next home?

Yes. Timing is part of the plan, and sometimes a short rent-back after closing gives you time to move.
