What is Downsizing, and Why Would You Do It?

 

Downsizing is the process of moving to a smaller home. This can be for many reasons, such as retirement, wanting to live in a more affordable area, or simply wanting to reduce the amount of stuff you have to take care of.

Regardless of the reason, downsizing can be a big undertaking. There are many things to consider when downsizing, such as what to do with all your belongings and how to fit everything into smaller homes.

Here are Some of the Services that We offer to our Clients

Sorting items

This is one of the most important steps in downsizing. We will sort through your belongings and decide what to keep, donate, or sell.

This of course, we will do with your guidance, as you know your belongings best. We start with the most delicate items in the living room because they are the most likely to be of sentimental value.

Once we have sorted through the living room, we will move on to the bedrooms, kitchen, and so forth.

Arranging for a moving company

We will contact a professional moving company on your behalf and arrange for them to come and give you an estimate.

On the day of the move, we will be there to supervise and make sure that all of your belongings are loaded onto the truck and taken to your new home safely.

Tips for Downsizing when Moving to a Smaller Space in Vancouver

People downsize for many reasons. Maybe you’re an empty nester who no longer needs a large home, or perhaps you want to move to a more affordable neighbourhood where you can enjoy life.

Some may even want to make money and pay their mortgage by renting out extra rooms in their house.

Whatever the reason, there are a few things to keep in mind when downsizing your current home in Vancouver.

Start packing for a move in advance

Packing can be a daunting task, so it is best to start as early as possible. This way, you will have plenty of time to sort through your belongings and decide what to keep, donate, or sell.

Household tasks such as laundry and dishes can be put off until closer to the move date.

Use storage units to save money

If you are downsizing to a smaller home, chances are you will not have enough space for all of your belongings. In this case, it is a good idea to use storage units.

This way, you can keep your belongings safe and sound without having to worry about them taking up space in your new home.
