Downsizing Quiz

Four questions to get an honest read on where you actually are with the idea of a smaller home or a different next chapter — whether it's just a thought so far or already in motion.

Your answers to the questions below are never saved or sent anywhere — the quiz itself runs entirely on your own screen. The only way any information leaves this page is if you choose to fill out the optional follow-up form after you see your result.

1. Where are you in thinking about downsizing? Just starting to think it might be time, nothing decided Actively discussing it with family, no firm plan yet Decided to move, working out the timeline

2. What's driving this? The house has gotten harder to keep up with, but nothing urgent A health change or safety concern is pushing the timeline There's a specific move already planned — senior community, assisted living, or closer to family

3. How do you feel about dealing with everything in the house? Overwhelmed just thinking about it I know it needs to happen, haven't started sorting yet Already sorting, or have a plan for what goes where

4. Who's part of this decision? Just me, still working through it on my own Me and my family, and we don't all agree yet Me and my family, and we're mostly aligned on the plan

Just Starting to Think About It

There's no clock running yet, and that's a fine place to be. The real question at this stage usually isn't "should I move" so much as "what would actually change if I did" — sometimes a smaller, easier home solves more than people expect; sometimes a retrofit to the current house (grab bars, a main-floor bedroom, a walk-in shower) solves the actual problem for a lot less disruption. Worth thinking through both before either one feels like the obvious answer.

Reach out whenever you want to talk it through — no pressure, and nothing has to be decided on that call.

In the Thick of the Decision

Family conversations about a parent's or your own next chapter are rarely simple, even when everyone agrees something should change. That's normal, not a sign it's going badly. Sorting through a house that's held years, sometimes decades, of a life is its own project, separate from the real estate part — and it usually goes better with a plan than by tackling it room by room with no endpoint in sight.

Let's talk about what the actual timeline could look like, and I can help you think through what needs to happen first versus what can wait until later.

Ready to Move Forward

You know where this is headed, and now it's about execution: getting the house ready, timing the sale, and coordinating with wherever you're headed next. If there's a deposit deadline for a senior community or assisted living community involved, timing the sale around it is exactly the kind of scheduling problem worth solving together early, not after the house is already on the market.

Let's set up a time to walk through the house and the timeline.

This isn't just a real estate decision, and you don't have to have it all figured out before we talk.
