Downsizing moves are becoming more and more popular as the population ages and builders create smaller and more efficient homes. This means that our “stuff”, which we’ve spent years accumulating, has nowhere to go in the next house or condo. Whether you’re downsizing to take some equity of your home or moving to a more practically sized abode, there are more and more businesses designed to help with the process.
Planet Realty has gone to lengths to create a program of experts in various aspects of the process and to provide an all-encompassing Universal Program to aid with the transition. Recently, Planet hosted a pair of seminars to introduce these downsizing specialists and showcase their expertise to their friends and clients.
