Decluttering Made Simple
Start with the Duplicates!
How many whisks are in your kitchen? Is your linen closet overflowing with old sheet sets? If you’re thinking about downsizing, here’s a simple tip to get started: tackle the duplicates!
Go through every drawer, cupboard, and closet, and pull out items you have more than one of—china sets, tablecloths, seasonal décor, even bottle openers. Choose your favorite and let go of the rest. It’s an easy way to lighten the load and make future moves smoother.
As an SRES®, I’ve helped many seniors transition from large family homes to smaller, more manageable spaces. Decluttering is the first step to creating a fresh start in a home that fits your needs.
Seniors and Downsizing: The Role of a Real Estate Agent
Most older adults are going to consider the option of downsizing or moving to a smaller space; according to Senior Living, about half of retirees ages 50 and over will move into a smaller home after retirement. This change presents unique challenges and opportunities for these individuals and the people who love and support them.
While downsizing has many benefits, it also comes with challenges. Not the least of which is emotions that are triggered as things that have been part of the senior’s life will not be coming to the new home. Even some of the language of downsizing—disposal, giving away, discarding, getting rid of—can feel as if part of life is being lost.
As an SRES® Professional, you'll guide your clients through one of life's most significant transitions. Your expertise will help them discover and secure the perfect home for their next chapter. You'll be their steady support, highlighting the benefits of their new home and lifestyle.
