Downsizing

Timing the two moves

We plan the sale and the purchase together so you're not caught between them. A longer or shorter closing, or bridge financing, can line the dates up when they don't naturally meet.

Buy first or sell first

Selling first gives you a firm budget and a stronger position as a buyer; buying first removes the risk of having nowhere to land. Which one makes sense depends on the market and your finances, and we talk it through before you commit.

What the next home costs to run

Bungalow, condo or town — each comes with its own monthly carrying costs, condo fees and maintenance you're handing off. We look at those real numbers, not just the purchase price.

Less stuff, less stress

A paced prep and declutter plan, with staging where it helps, so the family home shows well without overwhelming you.
