De-stressing The Downsizing Process
 
If you’re thinking about moving to a smaller home or have already made the decision, the downsizing process can be a daunting one, leaving you wondering where to start.   
 
You’ve likely accumulated many items and memories along the way, especially if you’ve lived in your home for several decades.  Moving from a larger space to a smaller one means making lots of decisions ahead of time:  How do you decide what to keep and let go of?  How can you determine if your current furniture will fit in your new space?  What do you do with the items that are no longer needed?
 
This session will provide an overview of the downsizing process and provide a practical plan on how to get ready for your big move.

It’s a beautiful sunny day☀️today, come for a drive 🚙 with me.

Most people don’t realize how much time we spend driving and that our cars are mobile offices 📞.

I love that I get to work in a different part of the city every day, get to see homes of all different shapes and sizes and meet amazing people along the way 🫶.

And - I’m super thankful that there’s no snowstorm today 😉
