I’m considering selling my home and moving into something smaller, possibly a senior apartment or townhome, but I don’t know where to start. What do you suggest?

ReMax Select Properties - Roxanne Johnson

Many homeowners face this question when they begin thinking about downsizing. The best approach is to start early and take it one step at a time.

Begin by going through your home and sorting belongings into four categories: Keep, Gift, Donate, and Discard. Start with drawers, closets, and storage areas to make the process manageable. Create a legacy box for meaningful keepsakes like photos and family mementos and organizing important papers.

Next, begin researching potential places to move. Consider location, proximity to medical care, shopping, family, and friends.

Finally, review your financials so you understand what resources you have available for your next move.

If you or a loved one are considering downsizing, feel free to reach out for guidance through the process.

Professional guidance makes your move smoother and less stressful, reach out with your real estate questions to:
