Publisher's Synopsis
Downsizing is when you buy a smaller home than the one you currently have. This is often a decision made by those who now have an empty nest, are struggling to deal with the upkeep of their home, or are finding the related costs hard to deal with. It may just be that you are eager for a change, want to simplify your life, want to move closer to friends or family members, or want to start a new phase in life. Whilst many people have been trying to upsize throughout their home-buying journey, downsizing can offer so many options!
Knowing what is available, what to look for, and what to watch out for is a big help. The author shares her forty years of real estate expertise in explaining loans, reverse mortgages, agent representation, inspections, taxes, insurance, safety, how to choose the right agent, and how to dispose of your 'treasures'. A thorough read to Downsizing.
