Why I Focus Exclusively on Downsizing

My journey into downsizing began during my real estate career when I noticed something important: I was spending more time helping clients prepare their homes for sale than actually selling them.

Families were struggling with decades of belongings, feeling overwhelmed by decisions, and often delaying their moves because the process felt impossible. Many had no local family support, health limitations, were simultaneously managing the loss of a loved one, or simply didn’t know where to start.

"I realized there was a huge gap in services for people who needed comprehensive support through the entire transition—not just the real estate piece."

In 2019, I made the decision to focus exclusively on downsizing coordination. I retooled my entire business to provide the kind of compassionate, comprehensive support that families actually needed.

Today, Simply Downsized LLC is licensed and insured to offer complete transition management in the Northern Virgina, Washington D.C. and Maryland areas. I specialize in working with clients who have health or lifestyle limitations, lack local support, or need project management from afar.

"Our clients are visibly relieved when they realize we can manage the whole thing. It's a huge weight off their shoulders."
