Downsizing Your Possessions When You Sell

May 7th, 2009

Recently, at a national home services trade show, I met Michael Ivankovich who operates a very unique service that aids residential sellers called Home Downsizing Consultants which aims to help you move, downsize or close –out your possessions as you ready to move.

The sale of a long time residence (or even a short time) can be very nerve-racking which is why I stress the importance of a real estate attorney in making the legal sides of the process go smooth.

In addition to the legal issues of a move, there is a physical and emotional side of the process as well; the moving and removing of personal possessions in the property. It’s a lengthy process and can be distressing as homeowners decide which mementos to keep and which to discard.

Mr. Ivankovich’s service aims to reduce the stress of the move. His service includes going to the clients’ homes, evaluating and appraising their household items, antiques & collectibles identify hidden treasures, help them understand the value of their personal property, and where best to sell it…before they sell too cheaply. He even handles the packing, and oversees of the move and final clean out.

What is unique to the service is that they are consultants only and do not buy. They give you an “in-home personal evaluation,” where he tells you what your things are worth and then gives you options on how to sell them.

Michael offers a free initial consultation, which in this economy makes at least inquiring about this service a “no brainer”. So after you contact my office for the legal help, call Michael to help your “peace of mind” in valuing, moving, and downsizing your possessions.
