Tip #3: Use the New Space as a Guide

DownSize News

One of the most common excuses I hear from downsizing homeowners about not getting rid of “stuff” is this: “I don’t know where I’m going so I’m not sure what I will need or not need.” Can I gently help you? With respect… and very few exceptions… I DO know where you are moving. You […]

When a Man Dies, a Library Burns Down

DownSize News

There is a Russian proverb that says “when a man dies, a library burns down.” My pre-real estate career was that of a news reporter.  I worked for a nationwide cable news network and traveled our nation on assignment.   In 1990 I was asked to cover the reopening of Ellis Island.  After the immigration station […]

Immaculate Cape Cod on Pauline Street

DownSize News

To everyone else it was just the immaculate cape cod on Pauline Street. To the neighbors it was George and Doreen’s home for over 40 years. By today’s standards, the tidy 1200 square foot bungalow with one bathroom hardly seems big enough for the three boys raised there.  But raised they were, Kevin, Daniel and […]

Gary Tjader Came On My Radar When I Broke a Toilet Tank Lid

DownSize News

Gary Tjader came on my radar when I broke a toilet tank lid. Yes. That pesky piece which one doesn’t appreciate until it slips from your hand, breaks and you are forced to look at replacing. I went to Google. And I found Gary. Gary’s website www.toilettanklids.com is an entire website devoted to, yes, you […]

DownSize News

I was packing up after another DownSize Cleveland event.  The Kathy Chiero Group has presented over a dozen of these seminars,  hosting over 2000  Central Ohio downsizers.  Charlotte, a woman in her mid-70’s walked up to me and said “I just want to thank you for showing me that I’m not alone and I’m not […]

  • Are you ready for condo living?March 2, 2020 - 6:34 pm

    It may seem like an obvious choice.  You no longer use several rooms in your home.  Exterior maintenance of your home is a chore you are either unwilling or unable to do.  You only live in Central Ohio half the year.  It’s time to shop for a condominium.  Maybe.  Maybe not.   Let’s first understand […]

  • How far would you go for your grandkids?March 2, 2020 - 6:31 pm

    It’s a decision that no grandparent wants to make and in past generations did not have to make: do we move to be near the grandkids?  Our American past is one of almost communal generational living: adult kids didn’t move.  A hometown was home and Grandma was the stopover on the way home from school.  […]

  • Does Every Child Need Their Own Bedroom?March 2, 2020 - 6:28 pm

      There is a phenomenon that every Realtor has watched happen: a family with a perfectly respectable home decides they need to sell their house and buy another because the family has grown, and additional children means the need for an additional bedroom.  After all, every child needs their own room, right?   It’s the “American” […]

  • Condo Living: The Good, The Bad, The UglyMarch 2, 2020 - 6:25 pm

    My husband and I were at dinner a few weeks ago and we ran into a past client of mine. As their Realtor I had helped Dan and his wife, Bridgette, sell their single-family home and buy a condominium. Prior to meeting with me they had not seriously considered condo living and were unaware of […]
