CLEARING OUT THE CLUTTER

A good place to start is with items that hold little emotional value but take up a lot of space. The den, kitchen and closets are where we tend to accumulate a lot of stuff we might not need going forward.

Start making some decisions about:

What to donate
What to sell
What to pass on to family

But before you do that, talk to a professional who can assess what has monetary value. You'll want to hire someone who can be completely objective about your possessions but also compassionate about what has meaning for you.

Testimonials

Marion is absolutely my preferred realtor – especially for boomers and seniors when aging may require extra care and understanding. As a seniors-accredited realtor she also represents a unique and key approach, Sell N Stay, allowing seniors to retain the comfort of their home while obtaining the full equity value (and simplifying family estate). Many of my friends are realtors and I fully respect them. Marion goes over and above, providing highest care, attention, and diligence for all her clients and their families.
