Plan ahead: If at all possible, plan as far ahead as you can. Downsizing will require you to makes some difficult decisions such as lettings items go. The more time you have to make such assessments, the better.

Purge: This is very difficult for many but moving to a smaller home will almost certainly require you to purge and get rid of many household possessions. Its best to have a family member present as you go through this process and help you as you make these decisions.

Storage: If you have to part with household items and you cannot make arrangements to have someone take these off your hands, storage is your best option. If you need to find a storage facility near your home you can search the internet using terms such as Storage Warehouse near Boston. Tour the facility and check their references.

Stay Calm: As with any significant occurrence in your life, the ability to get through it with minimal stress is very important. Find support in family, find a moving company that understands the sensitive nature of downsizing and consider retaining the services of a move manager. If you’re near Boston, search for moving companies in Boston to find the best one.
