FOR YOUR NEXT CHAPTER · DOWNSIZING
Less House, More Life
———
For many of our clients, the next chapter means less to take care of: a smaller single-family home, a condo or a coach home. We help you sell the home you've outgrown and find one that fits the way you want to live now.

Your options, side by side
Smaller single-family home
Upkeep: You likely still handle everything, but there's less of it
What to know: Most freedom, privacy and potentially no association rules on paint, pets or rentals
Villa or coach home
Upkeep: Often exterior and lawn care taken care of for you through the association
What to know: Shared walls or a building, with a garage and more privacy than most condos
Condo
Upkeep: Exterior, roof and grounds are all handled by the association
What to know: Lowest upkeep. Check reserves, recent assessments and insurance before you buy
How we make the move easier
Choose the right fit for your next chapter
Before looking at a single listing or putting your home up for sale, we talk about how you want to live: travel, family and friends visiting, golf or the beach, a lock-and-leave home for part of the year. Then we match that to the home type and community that fits, so you're buying a lifestyle, not just square footage.
Sell and buy in the right order
We time both sides so you're not carrying two homes or moving twice.
Price your current home well
Your home's value might set your budget, so we start there.
Help with the stuff
Decide what comes, what goes and who can help, from estate-sale companies to movers.
Read the fine print
For condos and coach homes, we help you review association fees, rules and recent inspection reports before you commit.
