Downsizing in Marin County

What would you like the next home to change? It might be fewer rooms, fewer stairs, less outdoor upkeep or a different location. Tell me what you want to simplify and whether you plan to stay in Marin or move elsewhere.

Define what you want to leave behind

If your current home involves a steep driveway, several levels, extensive landscaping or a septic system, name the responsibilities you would prefer not to carry into the next property. A smaller floor plan alone may not solve them.

We can use that list to compare actual homes. If a condominium is an option, the association's documents, dues and maintenance responsibilities belong in the comparison too. You do not need to choose the next property before beginning the conversation.

Tell me what the move needs to accomplish

Send me your current address, the places you are considering and the parts of homeownership you want to change. If the timing is flexible, say so. If it depends on another event, tell me what needs to happen first.

Discuss your move with Kate.
