Busy people often delay a downsizing move because they dread the many decisions and hard work that will be required to make it happen. Anna Novak founded Simply Downsized to ease the burden of complex home transitions for retirees, seniors and their families.

Anna selects and oversees thoroughly vetted local professionals who can assist with any aspect of the process, including planning, budgeting, housing selection, downsizing, donations and estate sales, preparing a house for market, packing, moving and unpacking.

A dedicated downsizing coordinator can help make the experience more efficient and pleasant for everyone involved. “In many cases, we save our clients so much time and money that our services pay for themselves,” says Novak. “People tell us they wish they had called us sooner.”
