What matters when you are downsizing
Thirty or forty years in one place produces a volume of belongings nobody is emotionally prepared to sort through on a deadline. So we slow this one down deliberately and work to your timeline.
People who have owned a long time also tend to underestimate what the house is worth, sometimes badly, because they are anchored to what they paid. That number is not just proceeds here. It is what funds the rest of the plan.
The mistake to avoid in Trilogy at The Vineyards
The one we see most often here is starting the purchase before sorting out what happens to the current house.
Selling the house is a process we have run more than two thousand times. What makes downsizing hard is everything inside it, and the question of where you go next.
