Moving out of a long-time family home is a big step, both practically and emotionally. Team KING helps Greater Sudbury seniors, empty nesters and their families plan the move at a comfortable pace, sell for the best price, and find a home that fits the next chapter.

Is it the right time?

Common reasons to right-size include stairs, yard work and snow clearing that are getting harder, a house that’s bigger than you need, wanting to be closer to family or healthcare, or freeing up equity. There’s no single right answer. Read our post Is now the right time to upsize or downsize?

What are your options?

• A smaller house or bungalow: one-floor living without stairs.
• A condo: no exterior maintenance or snow clearing. Review condo fees and the status certificate carefully.
• A townhouse: often a middle ground on space and upkeep.
• Retirement living or renting: we can help you sell and time it with your move.

Buy first or sell first?

Selling first gives you certainty about your budget. Buying first lets you secure the right place. We’ll walk you through both, including making an offer conditional on the sale of your home, and coordinating closing dates so you only move once.

Preparing a long-time home for sale

• Start sorting early. Decide what’s moving, what goes to family, and what will be sold or donated.
• Focus on the repairs and updates that actually pay off. We’ll tell you honestly what’s worth doing.
• Through our network, we can connect you with cleaners, painters, contractors and stagers.
