DOWNSIZING?

Maybe you want to cut back on expenses, or you need a simple floor plan for safe living. Maybe it is finally time to be closer to family or you are taking those first, smart steps, for aging in place. The process doesn't have to be overwhelming. It's okay if you are not sure where to begin, Dawn Brinkman, founder of Homeside Marketing can help.

Great news! Look for my new SRES® designation!

Downsizing is process and it should not be taken on all by yourself. It can be confusing, frustrating and stressful to think about sorting through a lifetime of possessions. You may require the participation of multiple family members and it often means letting go of items which have become part of your identity. 

Trust me, you are not alone when it comes to taking on these challenges! According to the Alliance for Aging Research, by the year 2030, over 71 million people will be over the age of 65, and over 33 million will be over the age of 75 in the United States. That means in the next 8 years we have a lot of amazing homeowners to assist!

From that first conversation, wondering if it is the right time to make a change, struggling through the private, uncomfortable conversations about money or safety, working with varied family members and navigating for the first time through a process which is critical, life changing and complex.
