Steps to Downsizing
These are steps we encourage everyone to consider
Walk through your home and simplify it by labeling each personal item with Yes (I’m definitely taking), No (I’m definitely not taking) or Maybe. Invite family members and friends to help evaluate your items to see if anyone would be interested in the items marked No or Maybe.
Ask us for a list of recommended companies who can pick up the items and help you sell them at auction or online.
Find a local professional to service all of your mechanicals. Document their findings and updates so you can share them with your Realtor when it’s time to sell.
We can help you determine small updates for large returns. For example, touching up paint, removing wall paper, etc.
We may suggest you complete a pre-inspection; this may help prospective buyers waive the home inspection at the point of contract.
Curb appeal is huge; keep the landscaping and exterior of your home (including your driveway) tidy and show-ready.
To complete the move, will you need the proceeds of the sale of your home? If so, consider how a home equity line of credit could make it a smoother transition. Your financial planner can help you weigh the costs and benefits.
Start collecting records from improvements that were made on your property throughout the years, such as when the roof was installed or the heating system upgraded. Any records that you have are valuable when it’s time to fill out the Pennsylvania Sellers Disclosure.
It’s easy to collect a lot of items in your garage, basement and attic. Start moving stuff out as quickly as you can. When it comes time to move, you will be glad for your proactive work.
Meeting early provides peace of mind and helps you create a road map for success. Even if your move is three or four years out, contact us to talk through the steps that are most appropriate for you.
