  • Seniors Do's and Don'ts of Staging a Family Home You're Planning to Sell

    Seniors Do's and Don'ts of Staging a Family Home You're Planning to Sell
    Feb 17 2022
    I’ve been through many seniors' homes and have a very comprehensive list of successes and not-so-successful presentation techniques for selling the family home & Home Staging Tips. There are one-offs, of course, however, there are a lot of similarities when comparing family homes of seniors.    I’ll give you my favorite Home Staging quick wins for seniors when selling the family home.  I’ll also encourage you to think a little differently about what stays for the sale and what goes for the Home sale. 1) DO! Review your paint color inside and out A repaint is one of the quickest ‘bang for bucks’ you can do when preparing your home for sale. Look up some of the paint brand’s websites and browse through their pictures. I’ll challenge you to think, Do all the pictures need to come down anyhow? Does a lot of the furniture need to be moved anyhow? Did you want to steam clean your carpets anyhow? Why not use this as an excuse! Some of the paint companies will offer a color consultant with over a certain volume of paint bought, so why not enquire. Always hire a color professional they know what younger families want to see! 2) DO! Rethink your furniture As we get older, we know our children want to move around and often our friends start selling and moving too!  Things really do change as you get older, the street, then neighbors, and local facilities all change, so you may need to re-think things! 3) DO! Declutter, declutter, declutter! You’re going to a smaller house, so have a think about what you really really want to hang onto. Like all your furniture, what you take to your new place should really only be the items that you really really love. We have a whole activity in the training regarding how to approach and stage the declutter of your home. You’ll love it I’m sure. You need declutter timeframes, declutter order of rooms, declutter rewards…! I hope you love my favorite quick wins for seniors and DON'T! leave it too late or ignore what a refresh and declutter at your home can do when thinking of selling. My job is for you to have a stress free downsize and get the most out of your property sale, so head on over to www.rightsizeyourhome.com.au to learn much much more about downsizing and getting the most out of your property sale and getting the most put back in your pocket, you deserve it!

    Ah - the “dreaded downsize” I hear you say!   Alas, not true, your downsize turns out just fine in the long run, I promise you and so do dozens of other downsizers that I’ve worked with over the years.  Here are my top tips for downsize house hunting, I suggest you sit down with a trusted loved one and seriously discuss this list. Tip 1 - Know where This means in which geographical area, not specifics.  This will determine numbers 2 and 3, who and what you want to be near to.  Research it properly and also ensure you give this information to your buyer's agent, so they have all the correct information and won’t waste yours and their time. Tip 2 - Know who want to be near to i.e. your friends/family (or an airport) As we get older, we know our children want to move around and often our friends start selling and moving too!  Things really do change as you get older, the street, then neighbours and local facilities all change, so you may need to re-think things! Tip 3 - Know what services you want to access to Services are critical too, think about your next phase and make sure you research and prepare well for this and the next phase.  No one likes moving again that is for sure! Tip 4 - Know the type of property you want to live in  I’ve got a great guide in my book that was drawn from an expert in his field Rich Harvey, CEO of property buyer.com.au, a business like theirs will assist you to fill them out and even get the whole process done for you.  In order to do this process well, however, you really need to sit down with that trusted loved one and seriously discuss the list. (refer to Buyer Wishlist found in page 96 of my book Rightsize Your Home: The Empty Nester's Guide to a Stress-Free Downsize) Tip 5 - Don't worry about the exact suburb necessarily - let a buyer's agent do all the work! Downsizing and the process of house hunting when you’re downsizing is a stressful occupation! I hope you enjoyed this short top tips list and it encouraged you to have a good think and have that ‘serious conversation' I referred to!  To find out more visit www.rightsizeyourhome.com.au, and in the book as well as the courses you’ll gain access to those helpful tips and checklists to get you in control of the downsize.

  • Where Should I Downsize To?

    Where Should I Downsize To?
    Feb 3 2022
    If you would like a guide to downsizing, read on here… My guide for you is taken directly from the comments of previous downsizers and their thoughts about what sort of downsize has proven to be successful. They are passing their gems of downsizing experience and wisdom through me to you!  Top of the ‘Where should I live?’ downsizing list is… Location Location Location - who do I want to be near? This could be in the form of clubs, family, services, medical specialists. Make sure who is top of your list. Now to confuse things - don’t necessarily rely on children for example, as they may want the freedom to move around. What type of Support do you want to be near. Remember, if you are currently living with someone, what happens if they are not around? You probably don’t want to think about it, but it does regularly happen. If you don’t want to move again (let's face it, who likes moving!) then think about this one carefully. In conjunction with #1 and #2 is What do I want to be near? Some of these things are available in many places too, so should be looked at in combination with the above. This may mean; airport, lake, mountains, beach, services etc, etc. What about the next phase? I really don’t want to scare you now, but think about all of the numbers 1-3 above for the ‘next phase’. You may want to be somewhere where your next phase is just around the corner (logistically)! For more information about ‘Shifting Your Mindset’ and thinking about these things, tap into the information in my book etc, etc. All of the information is from many years of working with downsizers and knowing their insights learned and secrets shared!
