"Boomers" on the Move ~ YOUR Style
Any number of "boomers" and older adults seek information from our referral network for what they are calling their "Last Move" to a "For Ever" home. In that regard, there's much to think about. This, and posts to follow, address some of the most common considerations/challenges.
Here is what people who are downsizing discuss with me. If YOU are considering downsizing from a family home to one where you can experience, as I like to say, Aging in P A L A C E - (you can check out our best selling Sage Companion Project booklet in that subject at the link here or below )- you may find these posts of interest.

Aside from referrals to helpful real estate and related professionals, you may be curious about other services that could be helpful . Many people love the idea of a comfortable move. If you are one of those folks, you may want to know about the availability of Helpful Services.
IS THERE A SERVICE and/or SERVICE TEAM for
__ reviewing, identifying and engaging the "right" movers for us?
__ organizing "estate" sales, garage sales, taking stuff to donate or to consignment shops?
__ sorting out stuff we want to move, donate, or sell?
__ inventorying our possessions (prized and not so prized) ?
__ packing/labeling things to be moved ?
__ keeping track of/collecting receipts for tax/other purposes?
__ coordinating details: utilities transfer, appliance disconnection, address changes, Internet/cable?
__ staging and/or home repairs prior to sale of our home?
Certainly such services are available in the Greater Asheville, N.C. area -(and we are happy to refer you to them.) But what about in your neighborhood? We'd love to know if/when you have used them and how that worked for you in terms of your "LAST MOVE"...

I find that the boomers are not wanting that all inclusive plan for their homes. they want to be able to personalize their home and not look cookie cutter
I often wonder if I'm already living in my "forever" home or not. Some days I'd like to think so, but other days I'm ready for a change, but the thought of selling is so daunting I don't know if it will happen.
