Downsizing

Are you considering to Downsize

We have helped many people over the years through the transition of downsizing or right sizing as some people call it.

After living in the same home for many years, the right timing or circumstances will always be a factor in making that

decision to sell. 

The thought of how am i going to figure out everything from dealing with all my stuff, preparing my house to sell and of coarse the "where do i go question" are top of mind.

Downsizing does not have to be stressful. Many people focus on the process of moving, rather than the outcome. We find the biggest issue for many people is dealing with all the stuff you have accumulated over the years. 

Many people generally give certain things away to family or donate them to a charity. If their are items that are just to old or damaged, there are many Disposal pick-up services that can take them away. (Click on the website names below to go to their sites.)

Is a Condo really for me 

If you have been considering to unburden yourself from the upkeep and costs of taking care of a house and have more freedom for a carefree lifestyle, then moving to a condominium is a very popular choice.  

Many homeowners who have considered to downsize, usually want to stay in and around the same neighbourhood where they have lived for many years. Or perhaps you may want to relocate to a different area for a host of reasons.

Most Condos have a concierge for your security. They can also receive deliveries for you when you are out and about in the city or up at a cottage. If you have all kinds of travel plans, you do not have to stress anymore about the upkeep of a house.

There are many different styles of Condos out there. From High-rise architectural wonders to more intimate smaller boutique buildings. Most have the benefits of various amenities like the following...

Well-equipped gyms with Treadmills and ellipticals for your cardio health   

Concierge with security      Swimming pool       Jacuzzi and/or Sauna      Cards and Event rooms      

Patio/ Balcony to relax or BBQ      Theatre/Media room      Billiards/games Room         Roof top patio/lounge area 

 Guest suites       Visitor parking        Storage room/bicycle storage       Most condos are pet friendly
