Less house.
More life.
Maybe the kids are grown, the stairs feel steeper or you're simply ready for less upkeep. Let's find out what fits the next chapter, including the honest option to stay.
- Whole rooms go unused most of the year.
- The yard and the upkeep take more weekends than you'd like.
- You'd like to be closer to family, or closer to the things you love.
- You're not sure if moving makes sense with taxes, equity and timing.
People first.
Never pressure.
Is it time?
We look at your life first. Sometimes the right answer is to stay and simplify. We'll tell you if it is.
Right-size options
Single story, low maintenance, a smaller yard, closer to family. We compare real options around Austin.
Timing and money
Equity, costs and whether to buy or sell first. We bring in your CPA or planner for the tax side.
Should I buy first or sell first?+
It depends on your equity, your comfort with risk and the market. We'll walk through both orders side by side before you decide.
What about taxes on the sale?+
That's a question for your CPA, and we'll make sure you ask it early. We'll help you gather the numbers they need.
Can you help me sort through a lifetime of stuff?+
We can point you to people we trust for downsizing, estate sales and moving, so you're not doing it alone.
The Stay or Go worksheet and The True Cost of Staying are free. Email us and we'll send them.
