A Big Transition Feels Easier With a Clear Plan
Downsizing isn’t just a move, it’s a major life transition.
Many homeowners feel overwhelmed at the beginning, and that’s completely normal.
Whether you’re planning for lifestyle changes, easing maintenance, or simply moving into a more comfortable space, it can be hard to know where to start.
The good news?
With a clear, simple plan, the entire process becomes far more manageable, and even exciting.

Here’s what’s inside:
How to decide what to keep, donate, sell, or pass along
The ideal timing for selling and buying when downsizing
How to choose the right next home for comfort, lifestyle, and convenience
Preparing your current home without overwhelm
Key financial considerations downsizers should understand
How to reduce stress and avoid costly mistakes
A complete downsizing checklist to stay organized from start to finish
For over 35 years, I’ve helped homeowners across Richmond, Steveston, Ladner, Tsawwassen, and Delta move into the next chapter of their lives with clarity and confidence.
Downsizing can feel emotional and complex, and that’s why having an experienced guide makes such a difference.
My goal is simple:
Give you a clear plan, help you move at your own pace, and support you through each step with no pressure.
