DOWN SIZING
Downsizing is a process. We suggest you give yourself 3-6 months to find the right new place, decide what you are going to give away or sell, pack, and unpack. Once you’ve made the decision to move, start with giving away or selling what you are not going to take with you. We can help you through the decision making. Try to accomplish this in 30-60 days. Next, decide on the new place. Once that’s decided, it’s time to revisit your possessions. Clutter Cutter will help you rid the possessions you are not taking with you. Clutter Cutter also offers packing services. Our team can also meet your movers on moving day. We will unpack and arrange furniture as your movers bring up your things. Talk about a quick move in!
Clutter Cutter offers a unique downsizing service. We will come to your current home and discuss with you what you’d like to bring with you to your smaller living space. Next, is going to your new home. We will make a graph of the new living space and make cutouts of the furniture you’d like to bring with you. With the graph, you will see how your furniture will fit or not fit in your new place. When moving day comes, there is no guess work about where furniture is going to go. No stress.
If you have decided to move to independent living, please take a look at our suggestions of what to take and the limits on those items.
Independent Living
Most independent living facilities do not have full kitchens. The kitchen areas are small. Storage in most of the facilities is adequate for simple living.
We are here to help you through the moving process and all the decisions that come with downsizing. If you follow our methods, your move will not be chaotic and stressful.

When you’ve decided to move to, don’t assume your children, family members or friends want your things. Most often, they do not. If there is something you’d like them to have, ask them.
If you get a YES response, let them know they will need to come and get the item/things before you move. You will not be taking them to your smaller home. Following this suggestion will make you and them feel good.
