A house full of stuff getting you overwhelmed?
I constantly come across seniors who have collected things throughout their lifetime. Sometimes
this collecting becomes a hazard, since many years of collecting takes up space. Often seniors
may find they can no long maneuver about since the collecting after awhile may cover every inch
of the floor.
Not only is collecting to this extent unhealthy it can cause many other difficulties. If a person is
trying to sell or refinance their home appearance is very important, if you want top dollar. With a
FHA reverse mortgages, I have had several underwriters refuse to clear the loan to close,
because of an overwhelming amount of clutter. Clutter can be a fire or health hazard, amongst
many other things.
I have been speaking with What is a senior move manager?
Katie Hustead, Owner of Paper Moon Moves
Here is what Katie has to say……….
"If you or a senior you love need to downsize and move, don’t stress about doing it alone. A
new industry, senior move management, has emerged to fill in when seniors or their caregivers
need help with the tedious process of dismantling a home and moving.
Most of us start with a floor plan of the new home and help the senior decide which of their things
will fit comfortably. Then we help them sell, donate, recycle or ship gifts to family and friends. And
we can manage the move
