When Even the Thought of
Moving is Overwhelming
Each move is a life transition,
whether to a smaller home, a new
residential community, assisted
living or nursing home. From
downsizing, sorting, and getting rid
of excess to packing, unpacking and
resettling, you will gain valuable
knowledge and a multitude of
resources to help you get through
the process. Jill Freeman

NEW Your Move, Your Way
Whether you are planning a move
within the next few months, or
waiting for the next few years, the
goals are the same: a stress-free
move, and spending as little as
possible to prepare your current
home for the market. Discuss the
emotional challenges of moving,
the current real estate market and
what it means to sell your home in
the current market conditions, how
to hire a senior-friendly real estate
agent, how to manage the logistics
of the move to reduce your stress,
and how to reduce the money you
spend to prepare your home for the
market. Lisa Dunn
