Want To Move To a Smaller Home in London Ontario?

The thought of moving to a smaller home in London, Ontario, or the surrounding area, along with the memories and familiarity, can be overwhelming. One day, you realize that putting things off and procrastinating may not be the best choices.

It could be excessive maintenance or troublesome stairs. Sometimes, it is about feeling isolated from family or old friends, or about being closer to amenities you like or services you need.

As a Realtor who has helped hundreds of clients downsize to a smaller place—whether a bungalow, an apartment condo, or a lovely one-floor townhome—I recommend a six— to twelve-month timeframe at least to fully understand the move, research, and consider all your options!                                           

Downsizing And Conflicting Information

If you’ve come this far, why jeopardize all you’ve accomplished now? You have many options, choices, and decisions to make. The better informed you are, the better. This is the question I always ask myself when seeking information.

• Is it true?

• The source?

• Unbiased?

• Is the information fear-mongering, from lack or too good to be true?

• What is the objective of the author, writer, or poster? To sell you or guide you?
