I’ve got a working theory that this might just be one of those times where we just need to get out of our own way and I’m right there with you. I completely understand. Here’s how this is starting to impact me in my own family is he, we’ve raised our family in this house and no doubt a time is coming. Well, we’re not going to need this place anymore. That’s really tough because we love this place. And at the same time, my wife and I, we just realized that after our daughter, Kylie graduates from high school, we’re just not going to need this place any longer. If we stay, it’s really going to kind of just get in the way of our goals. So really soon we’re going to be in your shoes.

For when somebody does those things, it has nothing to do with any of those cockamamie schemes that you’ve seen. Where some company comes along and makes an offer on your pad or open the door to put your nest egg in their pocket.

First Step to Downsizing Your Home

Decide on what big items you’re absolutely going to keep. We’re going to get to the smaller stuff a little later on. Just identify those things that you’re absolutely to want to hold onto and take with you to the next place. I don’t know what that would look like for you. It might be all the big pieces in your house. You might want to just literally start over, or maybe there is a special piece or two that you’re going to take. But you’d really like to go shopping for new furniture and replaced most of it. I’m not sure, but you give it some thought and I’m sure you’ll come to the right conclusion.

Second Step to Downsizing Your Home

Identify the things that you know you’re not going to need anymore. But would be a blessing to somebody else and call them up and let them know that you have them in mind and see how they would feel about receiving those things. Just remember, just like the good book says, it really is better to give than it is to receive.

Third Step to Downsizing Your Home

Now for step number three, get three boxes and put them in every room. One is for giveaway, one is for things you’re going to keep, and another one is for things that you’re going to discard. Now go one room at a time and keep putting things in each of those three boxes until you’ve got all the little stuff identified and where it’s going to go. This one step alone is really going to help take away that fear that this is just an overwhelming job.

Remember, just stick with one room at a time and before you know it, you’ll have one room done and then you’re going to be able to take the energy from that experience and move it to the next room. Before you know it, you’re going to be a professional downsizer. In fact, you may find that going through this simple three step process may be the best thing that you’ve done for yourself in a long time.

I just want you to remember, you definitely don’t have to go at it alone. That’s what I’m here for and I can promise you this. The benefits of downsizing your home will show up in spades big time. As you start this process, start taking these steps and I promise you that you’re going to experience freedom like you’ve never had before.

As promise, here’s that little secret that I promise to share with you so you could maximize the value of your home. You may also get all of your equity when it’s time to go. The I buyers out there definitely don’t want you to know about this one. What we’re going to do is I’m going to match you up with an investor and a contractor.

They can rehab your house and really do a lot to make sure that the value of your property shoots up like crazy before you do sell it and that way you can increase your nest egg. So when it is time to go, you have more dollars to take with you to invest in your future property. Please contact me for details and let’s get the ball rolling now.
