Downsizing Your Home

It may seem like just yesterday that you bought your first home and planted roots. But here you are at this stage of life – knowing in your heart that it’s time to make a change. Downsizing your home makes sense: you’ve worked hard, planned, saved, and now moving into a smaller home will only enhance your lifestyle options from this point on.

When you first get to the point that you realize downsizing makes sense, you’re just continuing to do what you’ve always done – plan well. Seeking advice is a wise move too, especially considering an important life decision like selling your home and buying a new home that will suit the next chapter of your life.

Downsizing your home can be an exciting change – a time for much needed renewal and freedom from all the maintenance a larger home brings.

Whether you’re simply looking for less square footage, a condo with less maintenance, a fresh start, or just a smallerversion of your current home, John Goodman Real Estate is a wise and trusted source to help find your dream-downsized-home. Our knowledge and experience are key factors in being effective in helping our clients make a wise decision.

We can identify with your needs, and therefore help you to make an informed decision, instead of an uninformed guess.

We will help you through all the steps and things to consider, from selling your existing home at top value, to finding a new home that suits your lifestyle and checks off all your wants and needs. Our family team of professionally licensed Realtors are experienced and knowledgeable in finding a home for you to downsize comfortably.
