Downsizing is no small feat. There are many steps that need to be taken from sorting through and packing up your belongings to finding a new home and selling your old one.
At Gordon’s, we are here to help, whether it is managing the whole process or helping with just a few of the details.
Here are just some of the many services that we offer to help simplify downsizing, and make the entire process easier for you and your loved ones.
1. Integrated Real Estate and Downsizing
We take on the challenge of selling your real estate and handle every last detail of your move. Your entire transition is managed under one roof by one company, who will keep you up-to-date throughout the whole process.
This integrated approach is more cost-effective and takes the pressure out of the complex, multi-stage process of relocating to a new home and lifestyle.
2. Downsizing Only
This option allows you to choose what you need from our suite of services to create the transition solution that’s right for you. With Gordon’s Downsizing & Estate Services you make the decisions, you remain in control and we handle all the details.
Our services include, either separately or in combination:
Helping you find a new home, condo, apartment or retirement community.
Sorting, packing, overseeing your move and fully unpacking for you. Coordinating cleaning and preparing your home for sale (minor fixes, furniture staging etc.).
Coordinating shipping assets to family members and friends, even those living in different countries.
Managing extra or unwanted assets that won’t be going into your new space by selling them in an efficient online auction format or via donation as appropriate.
Getting you settled in your new home so it feels just as comfortable as your old one.
3. Listing Your Home
We are a fully licensed and independent real estate brokerage with a unique outlook on selling your home.
We believe a successful real estate transaction is about education. If you, our customer, are completely up to date and educated on all aspects of the real estate transaction in advance of offers, we can help you prepare your property for sale accordingly and assist you in making the best decision when an offer is presented.
We understand the fine balance between not wanting your home on the market for months and not wanting to sell it for less than it is worth. That is why we go to great lengths to get it right at the outset, with the goal of achieving a firm sale in less than 20 days.
4. Contents Appraisal
When going through a major life transition, you may have to deal with some extra or unwanted assets.
Gordon’s Downsizing & Estate Services offers certified appraisals, to help you better understand what your assets are worth. We can appraise a variety of property types including antiques, collectibles, farm equipment, art, general merchandise and even commercial assets. Our certified staff members have years of experience providing professional appraisals.
5. Liquidating Unwanted Assets
Once the value of your assets have been determined, we can help manage the distribution, disposal, donation or sale of any extra assets as you wish.
We partner with an online auction service that is a cost-efficient way to sell your extra assets on the internet and do all the work for you, providing you with a detailed, itemized summary of what each item sold for.
