Questions I ask my downsizers before I list their home.

In my experience,
it's so important to ask questions before their house goes on the market.

What's important to my clients is the most important thing to me as well.

The pre-appointment is one of the most important steps in the process.
This is where we both get to ask each other questions.

They get the information they need to move forward confidently.

And I get to know that their needs are being met.

Strata Fees Mean I Am Just Throwing Money Away."

MYTH:
That a monthly fee is money lost.

TRUTH:
Add up what
you actually spent on home maintenance last year — the comparison usually isn't close.

"I Will Lose Money By Downsizing Right Now"

MYTH:
That timing has to be perfect or you'll come out behind.

TRUTH:
for most homeowners
who've been in their house ten-plus years, you have equity in your home from years of living there, paying down your mortgage and increases in market value.

So the real question isn't whether
you'll come out ahead.

The real question is what you do with the value that you have gained.

A twenty-minute market evaluation replaces the
guessing with an actual number.

10 boxes,
10 years,
through 6 moves.

When I finally got around to them,
I only kept 1 small box of items.

Then I wondered what I was keeping them for.

Start with 1 at a time.
It's ok to be thoughtful about it.

The problem is that "1 day" often comes sooner than you think.

Start now.
While you have the time to make a good decision.
Not a rushed one

The Trade That Gets Missed

Ever wish you had more time to do do the things you want to do versus I'll get to it someday.

We all know people that never got there someday.

I Almost Did Not Believe It Myself!

This couple wanted to downsize.
They needed a smaller home with less maintenance.
They contacted me and I recommended some things to do before we list for sale.

With some strategic marketing to target the correct buyer,
it all worked out.

What Interesting colours have you seen in homes people are attempting to sell?

The beauty of downsizing is that once you decide to do it, you find all these treasures that you're taking with you.

It's not about leaving everything behind.

It's about taking stock of what you have that are important,
And bringing those wonderful memories with you to a new stage of your life.




08/23/2026

This is not about leaving everything behind.
You take the memories with you. You just start new memories in a better space that fits your life better.



08/22/2026

It's ok to have a mix of emotions when leaving your family home.
Allow yourself to feel all of them.

And remember, even though you are leaving the house,
You are taking your memories with you.

And making room for new memories in your next phase.

IT'S THE SMALL THINGS.

The dripping faucet.
The sweeky door.
The key that turns hard in the lock.
The burnt out light bulbs.

Buyer Notice These Things.

Fix or replace before you sell.
