Real Estate and Downsizing Assistance Made Easy

Are you looking to downsize in retirement? Going small can add a sizeable amount of income to your savings, giving you the security you need for the future. At Tippet Richardson, we understand that most homeowners want to remain in their homes for as long as possible. This can make the prospect of moving, particularly challenging when it’s time to say goodbye to decades of memories. However, with our home purchase tool, we can help you successfully transition from your current home to an appropriate housing option that will make your golden years a much more enjoyable experience.

5 Useful Tips for Downsizing

If you are ready to downsize, there are a few ways you can make this big transition a little easier. Here are 5 tips for downsizing successfully: 

  • Plan Ahead: Give yourself plenty of time to start planning your downsizing. It may help to set goals to keep you on track and ensure that all family members are on the same page to avoid conflict or hurt feelings once the process begins.
  • Determine Your Needs: As you move forward, start asking yourself what aspects of your lifestyle are most important to you. For instance, how much smaller will your new home be? Should you be keeping items and furniture just because you spent a lot of money on purchasing them? Asking these types of questions will help you live more comfortably in your new home.
  • Eliminate Clutter: Keep clutter out of your new home. Not only will it make your space feel smaller but you may find that you don’t actually need all this stuff. Consider using smart storage solutions and incorporating furniture pieces that can be used for multiple purposes. 
  • Sell or Donate Belongings: One person’s trash is another one’s treasure. Keep this rule in mind when decluttering your home and consider having a yard sale or donating items you want to get rid of.
  • Hire a Professional: When in doubt, it’s time to call the professionals. Our moving experts can help you sort, pack and store your belongings. When you’re ready, a realtor can also help guide you through the process of buying and selling.
